Painted Mason Jars filled with Goodies
One of our favorite mason jar Christmas gifts are these Christmas painted mason jars.
Using some pain on the outside of textured jars and a bit of sand paper, you can create a lovely finished jar that has a fun shabby chic look.
Not only do they make gorgeous holiday decor but they serve an alternate purpose as a gift holder.
You can fill them with yummy treats or a gift card to their favorite place. They make pretty Christmas decor your giftee can use year after year.
DIY Stove Top Potpourri Mix
Another fab Christmas gift idea is giving a handmade stove top potpourri gift.
This is actually way easier to make than it sounds.
Simply dry a few pieces of fruit in the oven, add in some seasonal spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
The gift receiver can then boil the ingredients on the stove top and fill the house with the smells of Christmas cheer.
Plus you can make several at a time so you can have several gifts to give to loved ones.
Our version comes with a cute printable gift tag too that you can place in the mason jar lid. Then finish it off with a festive bow.
One year we batch made several of these and handed our our gift jars to coworkers.
Mason Jar Lid Ornaments
If you’re into creating mason jar crafts, chances are you have a few extra mason jar lids lying around. Why not turn them into some cute DIY Christmas ornaments.
We’ve got a tutorial on turning mason jar lids into cute Christmas ornaments.
These wreaths are made by wrapping the lids with tine and adding buttons and ribbon.
Then they can be hung up on the Christmas tree, used as a gift wrapping accent or hung up on the wall in a set.
DIY Poinsettia Mason Jar
This DIY poinsettia mason jar is a super cute way to give a gift.
The Christmas flowers are made from felt and would add a cute touch of whimsy to any type of mason jar.
Fill it the jar with goodies or one of the ideas above and you’re good to go.
Shimmering Bath Salts
This next Mason Jar Christmas gift is one of my favorites on the list.
It’s just so pretty!
These shimmery bath salts would make an excellent gift for someone who likes a bit of pampering.

This kind of gift just feels good to give to those you know who love taking baths and can use a little self care.

Adding a personalized photo to your mason jar as a gift tag.

Such a cool way to give out a Christmas gift instead of a holiday card.
Apple Cider Spice Mix

Why not make a homemade spice mix to turn apple juice into apple cider.
Simply fill a mason jar with the homemade mix and you have a lovely gift.

Espresso Cocoa
This particular gift sounds amazing to me! But I’m a huge coffee lover.
So this espresso cocoa recipe is right up my alley.
This DIY hot cocoa mix is made with powdered espresso and has lots of yummy chocolaty goodness added in it.

Mason Jar Snow Globe
This gift idea is an excellent way to give out gift cards, while still making it cute and personable.
They turned a Mason jar into a snow globe! I think some of the gift cards available now are so cute.
They’ll look great amazing cased into a glittery snow globe.
Mason Jar Candle Holders
I love these fall decor candles! They’d make handmade gifts for Christmas.
If you aren’t wanting to go with the fall look, you could use any shape to create the same look with a different feel.
You could grab out of our Christmas tree templates and resize them to make a gorgeous Christmas themed jar or our snowflake templates to create a winterized candle.
No matter what shape you choose, they’ll make great candle holders.
