“Unique DIY Mason Jar Gifts” with Ashley Murcia
If you ask anyone in my family, I love making handmade gifts to give at the holidays. The personalization and uniqueness that come with handmade gifts just can’t be matched with something bought in store – plus, it’s a great excuse to get a little crafty!
Mason jar gifts are so popular, and the typical Mason jar gift you find on Pinterest or Facebook usually has a baking theme. But if your looking for something a little different, I’ve pulled together some fun Mason jar gift ideas to help make your holiday gift giving easier!
Pedicure in a Jar: A fun idea for the person who loves to make sure their nails are bright and shiny! Simply assemble all of your pedicure favorites in the jar and finish off with a holiday tag and ribbon!
Supplies:
Small Mason jar with lid (Available at Michaels)
Nail polish
Nail brush
Nail file with buffer
Toe separators
Ribbon
Holiday tag
Spa in a Jar: We all know someone who could use a little pampering, right? The Spa in a Jar is perfect for that friend or family member! Collect some lovely, sweet scented items, put together in your jar, and give a little relaxation this holiday season.

Natural sponge or loofah
Favorite essential oils (Lavender is a favorite for relaxation)
