Beachy Bouquets & Mom Makeup in a Jar

There are a million ways to make a thoughtful, customized gift for mom, friends, daughters, and other ladies in your life using classic canning jars. It's a way to recycle the glass you have, limit packaging waste, and provide a pretty and classic container for your gift. Just stuff the jar with a few of your favorite things to remind your loved one that they're extra special to you!

Take a look at these two gift jars for some inspiration!

The first is a simple flower vase. With a bit of twine and some decorative burlap flowers, the vase gets a fun yet rustic upgrade that makes your bouquet look even more beautiful. Accentuate it with a simple, personalized bead bracelet. You could also decorate the glass jar with fabric stickers, white chalkboard paint, ribbon, etc.

The second gift idea is a small makeup kit in a jar! I placed a colored velour scrunchie on the bottom and packed the Azure jar with lip balms, makeup brushes, nail polish, eye shadows, essential oils, and more. On the outside, I added a pair of fun earrings for extra embellishment.

Another idea? Sugar scrubs! We'll save that one for a future blog post. Subscribe and don't miss out!
