Gifting with Mason Jars
20. Calm Jars to soothe the nerves of children (AND adults) make a great gift.
21. Sewing Kit – What a sweet gift this would make. A mason jar turned sewing kit and pin cushion from Mom Prepares.
22. Brown Paper Packages has an adorable idea for a gift- a drinking glass set using mason jars and personalized with colorful fabric and cute straws.
23. Homemade bath salts in a mason jar from our health and wellness writer on Untrained Housewife.
24. The Lemonista has tutorials for holiday-themed snow globes made from mason jars.
25. Hand Soap Pump – Here are two different methods for the mason jar hand soap pump. I moved recently and this was my favorite housewarming gift! Kierste from Brown Paper Packages and Jo-Anna from Pretty Life in the Suburbs.
BONUSES! Chalkboard Painted Place-Setting Jars on Untrained Housewife are perfect for personalizing a party!
Love the idea of using mason jars for dessert recipes. I have so many from canning. What a cute way to display desserts for a picnic or cookout. Think I’ll have try some gingham ribbon around the edge with a spoon for a great “country” theme on our next cookout. Thanks for the tip.
Oooh that’s a cute idea – there really are endless possibilities! Whenever I see them at a thrift shop I grab them – and lately I have found coupons for them and I stock up when they are on sale at the grocery store:)
Love those ideas.
Thank you!

You have chosen what I personally consider to be one of the best titles for a web site/blog. The title resonated with me because I too was an untrained housewife and mother. Literally had to teach myself everything. As a wife, mother and grammie now, I have plenty of experience, but am still learning. That’s why I love the phrase, ‘Relearning the lost skill of homemaking’. I don’t think I will ever be finished learning, nor do I want to be. This is a journey I love and enjoy. I never leave comments, but you deserved a good one. Blessings dear lady!
I appreciate that a lot. My motto for this year was “Embrace the Journey” and I feel like that is something to never stop doing. This life we’ve chosen of home and family and intentional living isn’t an easy one but it’s worth it – so worth it. And sweeter for the friends we meet along the way who encourage us with their timely words. 🙂 Thank you!
I absolutely love these ideas!! So glad I came across this!
