They used the tall canning jars, which is what I have noticed people use at craft shows. You can also use the big mayo or salad dressing jar's. If you do not want to spend a lot of money.

Adding a tea light, with the tin on, makes a nice homemade Country gift.

Save your nice glass jars from pickles, spaghetti sauce, mayo, etc . It depends on what size you need but the jars pickled beets come in are nice and I believe are a pint size. To buy a case of brand new canning jars is not expensive but reusing clean used jars is a good idea! To pretty them up or cover printing on the lid, just cut a circle of fabric and cover and tie on with ribbon or jute....adding a tag with instructions.

If that's how you get rid of your recyclables. I raid the bins for all sorts of things. I figure it's a barter system. I bring in quite a bit every week,if I should happen to find a little something to take Back Out,fine. It's still recycling.

Check your grocery store also, they will be a little more expensive there though. My grocery store keeps their jars by the fruit and they offer decorative lids for the jars too. You should be able to dress up your own jars though. Good luck!

I use mason jars and decorate the lid with christmas material, tie raffia around the lid and sometimes paint the jar or put glitter on them. I've purchased many dozen when on sale at the end of the season for canning or the thrift stores usually have them for a small amount. I purchased mine at Walmart for about $6.00 they have a pretty design on one side. If you use plain jars you can also cover those with christmas material or make a snowman with a white sheet. Every time I've given these jar gift they are welcomed.

We have a lot of outlets in California! I have seen Pyrex outlets in Nevada also! Good-luck! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Jars Needed for Gifts-In-A-Jar Post By Mary J. (Guest Post) (12/07/2004) I looked at all of our stores in town for the wide mouth quart canning jars and almost gave up finding them until I called one of our local grocery stores. They had them in a case of 12 for a very reasonable price. The manager said that they're a seasonal item, so, if you find them, it might be best to stock up for future uses.

You can also put an ad in the local newspaper for jars. In summer, garage sales are a great place for jars, too. Find grandmothers (those who used to put up a lot of fruit and vegetables in the summer and fall) who live in the country and had a big garden years ago, they will most likely be glad to get rid of a few jars.

You should be able to get a dozen for under $10.00 for the whole box.

You'd probably want quart size. You could possibly get some by posting to a local Freecycle group or at a thrift store. Susan at ThriftyFun Report Spam or Abuse
