Season Greetings, Mason Jar Fans!

It’s that time of year again — the most wonderful and… the most stressful! I personally see December as my annual Thank-Everyone-Athon! And if you’re like me, then you might be feeling stretched a little thin these days. I know that I end up burning the Yule log at both ends! There’s the decorating. And the baking. And the shopping…

If you’re like me, then you probably avoid the mall at all costs – it’s way too peopley out there! But you can still find the perfect gift for everyone on your list by sitting back, relaxing at home in your comfiest pants(no judgement here!), while sipping on some eggnog, and clicking your way to present nirvana!

Here at Mason Jar Lifestyle, we’ve got you covered! Whether you’re shopping on a budget or searching for just the right gift for someone special, we have something for EVERY ONE! We also offer FAST, FREE shipping on domestic orders over $49, PLUS you can request a personalized Season’s Greeting card with your message on it if we’re shipping directly to the recipient. Just add a “note” to your order when you check out.

If you need some guidance on the different materials and straw styles we offer, we put together a bunch of information in Reusable Straws & You to give you some guidance!

Not sure what size jar you have for gifting? We put together a blog post about figuring that out too! Check out our Comprehensive Size Guide Blog Post or drop us a line for help!

So let’s get started!

 

The 2023 Gift Giver's Guide

Stocking Stuffers & Gifts For Around $15

The Essentials

Our drinking combinations are super popular with kids and adults alike and certainly the most used items at my house!

Mason Jar Lifestyle The Gift Giver's Guide to Mason jar accessories stocking stuffers affordable gift ideas silicone sleeves drinking lids chug lids

Create the perfect on-the-go hot beverage vessel or icy tumbler gift by customizing colors, lid and straw options, even what size Mason jar you use. So grab a jar and start picking your accessories:

Your Final Straw!

We carry a lot of straws from metal to glass, paper to silicone. Straws that are perfect for little half pints and long ones for half gallon Mason jars. Whoever you’re shopping for – we have a straw for them!

We offer straws in multipacks if you know what you want or single straws if you’re putting together a specific drink set up.

My personal recommendation is to buy a combo pack which offers your recipient a few different options to try. The combo packs contain 6 straws in 3 different sizes (for half pint, pint, and quart Mason jars), a cloth bag, and straw cleaner.

 

Pour, Store, Carry, and Go!

Our Pour and store lids are the perfect gift for everyone from the pantry organizer to the smoothie lover and everyone in between! And we just added FIVE colors: brick red, deep blue, leaf green, black & gray!

These lids are leak proof and designed for liquid and dry goods.

Our lids are available in regular or wide mouth. You can pick our handle or carrying loop option – depending on what fits your needs best.

Coffee Until Cocktails – Part 1

Cold brew coffee is possibly one of the greatest inventions for coffee lovers… I mean that in all seriousness. It creates a smooth, less acidic brew which stores easily in the fridge (which won’t be long because it’s delicious!). It’s also so easy to make and create the perfected iced coffee, tea, infused liquor, oat and nut milks, and so much more!

You can also use a pint size filter to wash, strain, and enjoy berries and other delicate foods on the go! Our MJL cold brew filter kits are made of high quality and durable stainless steel for years of enjoyment.

Like a hot cup of coffee in the morning? Me too! And our stainless steel, high quality pour over coffee filter delivers a perfect cup every day! It's one of those things that when Ryan designed it, I thought it wasn't really that necessary - but boy was I wrong! I'm in LOVE with my pour over coffee filter and use it every. single. day. Seriously!

Coffee Until Cocktails – Part 2

The cocktails! If you have a cocktail lover on your list, then they need a Mason jar cocktail shaker.

We’ve paired out stainless steel band with the W&P Designs Mason Shaker for a stylish and sensible option that fits on any regular mouth Mason jar (taking up less space than a conventional cocktail shaker too). Store extra rounds in Mason jars in your fridge and just switch from storage to shaker. No more party faux pas!

Want to make it even more of a gift? Add a stainless steel juicerlong spoon/fork and some adorable glass straws!

So whether you're shopping for someone who loves to camp, lives off grid, or just likes to do things by hand, our grinders will help ensure they have a perfect cup of joe with our adjustable, ceramic burr grinders.
