Create homemade Christmas gifts in mason jars for everyone on your list this year! You’ll find everything from food gifts to bath products in this post. I was given free samples from SKS Bottle & Packaging, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Mason jars and other glass jars are great containers for so many homemade Christmas gifts. Not only will they keep food gifts fresh, but they are also reusable and look nice.

You can save jars you get from food to use or you can buy new jars for your gifts. If you want more uniform jars and don’t want to deal with labels buying jars is often the way to go. It’s still an eco-friendly option as the jars can be used over and over again. 

My favorite place to buy jars and bottles for homemade Christmas gifts is SKS Bottle & Packaging. They have every size, shape, and type of glass bottle and jar you can think of.

I have a small collection of their bottles on hand for different Christmas projects. You can also get some great bulk pricing if you want to make Christmas gifts in mason jars to sell at Christmas markets. You could even sell them at The Stress-Free Christmas Market. 

If you need ideas of what gifts you can make to go in these jars, I’ve collected some fun and easy ideas that are great for everyone on your list or even to make to sell to save up a little extra money this holiday season.
