Give the gift of a mason jar this season! This Santa-themed gift in a jar can be made in minutes. Simply stuff the jar with a special treat and top it off with a Santa hat before giving it to your recipient. This one works with any gift…plenty of gift ideas are included in the post below!
This is part of mason jar mania week, where I am posting gifts in a jar all week long! I am also hosting a fun series on Instagram where ANYONE can post their gift in a jar and play along. Click here to follow me on Instagram to see more.
This is a great, super simple gift in a jar! All you need is a jar, two craft items, and your gift! So easy and so darn cute!
These are seriously the easiest, cutest, and most inexpensive ways to give a gift! We have so many gift in jars ideas on this site. Many of them come with their own special gift tag you can print and customize to your liking.
For this craft, you can fill it with whatever the recipient will enjoy the most. I used Hershey’s Kisses and soft peppermint puffs. The colors of the candies make this gift look so festive!
If candy isn’t their jam, try Christmas granola, peppermint soap and bath salts, Snickers cookie mix, a s’mores kit…and so many more options.
Dream up whatever the recipient loves the most, then stuff it in a jar!

could you give me the size of the santa hat.
could you please give me the size of the hats.
Looks like they are out of stock! 🙁 Measure the top of your jar and look for a hat that size. I think they should be around 2 1/2 inches.

You can click on the link above for the hats and be taken right to a place to purchase them. Thanks!
Where can I purchase the Santa’s belt.
Unfortunately the one I used is no longer available and I haven’t had any luck finding something else similar.
