GIFT IN A JAR PACKAGING IDEAS!! HOLIDAY PACKAGING IDEAS!!

Today, as promised, I am sharing my ideas for alternative packaging for our gifts in a jar mixes that we have been making over the last few weeks! I went to a few places, did a bit of research, did a little shopping and found what I think are some awesome alternatives to the mason jars for these mixes. Bonus is that you don't have to worry about getting your jars back in this climate of shortages! These packaging ideas are so cute and easy and I know you are going to love them. As a treat, I also beefed up one of the mixes and turned it into an entire gift basket that is really beautiful!

The ideas here are just that. Ideas. I hope to inspire you and get your creativity going. Think outside the box. Use what you have, dig for bargains and make it work, but make it cute, because a beautiful gift is an anticipated gift and these will be sure to please! I got a few cute tins and some boxes from bot Hobby Lobby and Dollar Tree. I recycled one of my Herbalife canisters and turned it into the perfect package for a hot cocoa cookie mix. You can also use inexpensive wine bags or gift bags and if you use your imagination you can turn just about any vessel into a delightful container for a holiday gift!

Amazon can also be a great resource for you and you can find plastic jars and tins and bags and more that can be used to package your gifts. A little digging can yield great results. I have a shopping list that you can refer to for Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2Trw2XN

Another great place to get great deals on packaging including ribbons, pull bows, boxes, bags, tags and cellophane wrap and bags is the Paper Mart. I have been buying from them for many years and they never fail to come through. The quarter inch ribbon I use is in a 100 yard spool for less than $3 and they have a true rainbow of colors to choose from. Many more than I even have in my collection!

The cellophane bag is a real game changer when it comes to upping your packaging game! Cello bags are the crinkly kind not the poly bags that are like sandwich bags, which you really do not want to wrap up gifts in. It just lets me down in the "quality" department. You can find lots of different shapes and sizes. You can even get shrink plastic bags to use on your gift baskets and use a hair dryer to shrink it down and make it snug.

I put together this super cute gift basket with a tote from Dollar Tree along with matching dish towel, oven mitt and hot pads. The store did all the work for me. All I had to do was put it all together and wrap it up with some cellophane wrap and tie with a big bow! These are super easy and they are so well received. So if you want to bump up your giving game but stay within your budget, this is definitely the way to do it!
