It’s that time of year again where we are running here, there and everywhere looking for the perfect gift.

But what actually makes the perfect gift?

Is it something expensive? Is is something that’s big? Perhaps it’s something that sparkles (yes, I do like things that sparkle!).

The reality is that there is no perfect gift, and half the time we make the whole gift giving process way more complicated than it really needs to be.

More often than not, people love the simple gifts. The gifts that have had thought and attention put into them.

That’s where these mason jar gift ideas are perfect, not only for Christmas but for other celebrations too. They can easily be adapted to birthday’s, housewarming or hostess gifts. They are simple to create, but they would all be appreciated by those that receive them.

Edible Mason Jar Gift Ideas

It’s Christmas so it only makes sense to include a whole heap of edible mason jar gift ideas. Let’s face it, we all love a sweet treat here and there, but these are treats with a difference (and a couple of non sweet items thrown in there too).
