Mason Jar Gift Sets

We just love mason jars. They are just so incredibly versatile and always look good. They look good stuffed with pretty much anything: food, flowers, utensils, pencil crayons, craft supplies etc. They also make the most adorable gift sets! Mason jars are really inexpensive and you can even find them at dollar stores.

Tip! Adding a pretty piece of fabric, ribbon and gift tag makes the gift set extra cute!

Here are some of the cutest mason jar gift sets:

1. Feel Better Gift Set. Not only does this mason jar set look super adorable, it will also make you into the world's greatest friend! Seriously, how thoughtful is this gift? So simple but so sweet. This one was made for someone fighting a bad cold and in desperate need for a little TLC. 
   
   Fill one jar with anything cold/flu related and the other jar with some homemade soup. We made a hearty lentil soup but any soup will do. If you prefer, you can create a dry layered soup recipe instead. Just remember to include the instructions on the label.
