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…
Oh and there’s a pandemic to worry about. This year the prospect of donning your mask and struggling through a sea of fellow shoppers at the mall is probably even less appealing. I totally and completely get that. 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 EVERYONE! We also offer FAST, FREE shipping on domestic orders over $39, 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!
So let’s get started!
The 2020 Gift Giver's Guide
Stocking Stuffers & Gifts For Under $15
The Essentials
Our drinking combinations are super popular with kids and adults alike and certainly the most used items at my house!
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:
- Our silicone sleeves from 4oz regular mouth Mason jars to 32oz quart regular/wide mouth Mason jars
- Our straw hole and drinking lids
- Our assortment of single and combo packs of stainless steel, silicone, and glass straws
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!
These lids are designed for liquid and dry goods.
Our lids are available in wide mouth with a handle / carrying loop combo and regular mouth with just a carrying loop enabling you to take this lid with you wherever you go.
Wood You Bring a Straw?
Our wood straw carrying case is made of high quality, beautiful beechwood and finished with a food safe oil, making it low maintenance. Fits up to our long sized straw.
A perfect sized (and priced) stocking stuffer for eco-minded recipients!
Tiki Torch Time!
Another fun stocking stuffer or reasonably priced gift for outdoor enthusiasts and entertainers. Our MJL tiki torches come in regular and wide mouth size.
Scrub-A-Dub!
‘Tis the season for germs, so give the gift of stylish handwashing! Our mirror chrome and satin brushed soap pumps are popular crowd favorites!
We carry our soap dispensers in several styles and with various options. Pair these with your favorite jar and some fancy soap to create a personalized gift.
These pumps can also be used with hand sanitizer, lotion, dish soap, liquid hair care products, and more!
Hop Over With a Frog Lid!
Whether you’re giving flowers to a friend or new markers to a kiddo – frog / flower lids are your new BFF! So make sure you add this gift to your cart and cover all your bases.
Don’t let the name confuse you, these lids are great for organizing, sorting, storing, displaying, and so much more! I use them in my kitchen, on my desk, in my crafting space, in the bathroom for makeup brushes, for my kids’ art supplies – really everywhere!
We carry several different finishes with chicken wire or a square grid pattern to suit every taste. Available in regular and wide mouth.
Pour Some Sugar On Me

Sprouts In Winter
Hope and sprouts can spring eternal in your recipients heart and home with our innovative set up.
Our sprouting lid has built in legs keep the sprouts from touching the counter when they tip the jar upside down to drain it. It’s like you’re always their to give them a helping hand.
This video shows our original curved sprouting lid but the same basics apply to both!
Let Your Love Light Shine
Candle holders make a great gift and can easily be paired with electric or traditional votive candles to make it a set.
Our beautiful candle holders have handles so they can be hung up or set on a table or mantle to bring warmth and elegance.
We’ve creating these holders with several different cut out shapes, finishes, and in regular and wide mouth size:
Light Up The Night
These adorable tea light inserts create beautiful atmosphere on your holiday tablescape as well as on your outdoor patio.
Use the space in your jar for décor items like ornaments, natural elements, glass beads, and more. You can also store extra candles which is perfect for gifting.
Insert The Perfect Gift Here
You can gift lid inserts just as they are or use them to create custom, personal gifts for everyone on your list!
They’re perfect to use with potpourri, candles, crafting supplies, coin banks, or put a straw through many of the center cut outs.
You can also create your own custom gift in a regular or wide mouth jar – whether it’s homemade treats you’ve loving baked or store bought goodies. It’s easy and thoughtful!
Our MJL inserts are available in different cut out patterns such as: leaves, snowflakes, stars, daisy, coin slot, and hearts. We also offer them in a variety of finishes such as: galvanized, copper, stainless steel, and gold.
Put A Lid On It
You might be looking for a little more coverage than a cut out insert and so decorative lids are what you need!
At MJL, we’ve got a number of options to seal up your regular and wide mouth Mason jars with flair and function.
I personally love decorative lids for my crafting and sewing supplies because it keeps them neat while still at hand. You can add silicone lid liners to some of them and make them food safe.
We carry our decorative lids in a variety of finishes such as: oil rubbed bronze, copper, antique white, matte black, and the always popular galvanized metal. Some are available in wide and regular mouth and with or without handle.

Heated Leather Treats
This is one of our best selling gift sets because it’s as lovely to look at as it is to use! Our beautiful faux leather sleeve feels great snug in your hand as you sip your toasty beverage through a silicone drinking lid. Just add your own jar, a cozy blanket, and a good book!

Our MJL storage lids are available in different materials and for regular and wide mouth Mason jars. We offer a variety of storage lids to pick from though our most popular are:
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.
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!

Love the different ways Mason Jars can be used. So very creative.
I never realized there were so many cute ideas for a mason jar and a lid ! I have seen so many that I can use,thank you!

I liked most of the gifts but my favorite is the Cocktail Connoisseurs, never thought of serving a cocktail in a mason jar
I love the guide for moms because it includes wax warmers, which is something of a mini-obsession of mine. I think everyone, not just moms, would like this, along with a seasonal wax to melt in it.

I just started using mason jars. I love all of the things you can use a mason jar for.
I love so many of your items it will be hard to decide what to get.
I love the oil lamp lid!
i love the Scented Greetings wax warmers in Pinwheel & Faith, Hope, Love designs!
the “trash amp” cracks me up.
I knew there were a lot of food/drink related accessories, but am kinda amazed at the breadth of Mason accoutrements.
Such great gift ideas!
Cruet pour spout is slick.
I love mason jars. I use them for everything. I just clove how they can be used in every aspect of my life
I truly like all the creative items. Some are so useful for men, women, & children. I like the reusable straws due to me needing one. I use straws every day yet, I haven’t purchased one. It’s difficult for me because I’m not allowed to drive (doctor’s orders). Thus, I don’t ever get out unless I have a doctor’s appointment. I don’t dare ask my husband to look for the reusable straw and buy me one set. He hates shopping and he has to do it. I can’t order one online because I don’t have a credit card. He keeps our credit cards and doesn’t allow me to have one or use one. What can I say…I’ll never have a reusable straw. Your website is Fantastic!!
I like the Fermenters. The starter kit or the bundle for the serious at home fermenter.
Love Mason Jars
Such cute ideas! I love the silicon canning toppers
I would love to get a piggy bank one for my 4yr old grandson or try some of the col stainless steel straws
I had no idea there is so much you can do with canning jars…it’s so cool!
I like the Mason jar pendant light
I love the lamp because it is so rustic and adorable and would be perfect for my patio.
I am absolutely in love with the pennant lights and need some of those straws and soap spouts.
I love the change jar, –Be The Change – coin slot lid in galavanized steel, stainless steel, and copper
Let your light shine because i could make these for our camping trips and when the kids do camping indoors it would feel like outside
I think the birds in my backyard, would love the bird feeder! Darling!
My favorite gift to give is the silicone sleeve because it keeps my hot coffee from butning my hand every morning on my way to work! Paired with a silicone lid, it makes a great holiday gift!
Love the Mason jar pendant light! It would look great in my bath
I like the light and the bird feeder there is lots more but those are what I really liked the best. Thank you for the chance and Happy Holidays
So many fun ideas – Mason Jars for everything!
I like the Mason Jar Pendant Light because it would look so cute over the counter in a kitchen.
I like the Be the Change jars so I can teach my kids to save.
I love all my Mason Jar stuff! I really got into fermentation
this year. It really added value to my garden produce. I made my own sauerkraut from red cabbage and my own kim che. It’s good to know exactly what’s in my special foods! I love you, MJL!!!!
Everything arrived on time and I am very happy with my purchase – I would recommend this site to anyone who enjoys leaving less of a carbon footprint by getting away from plastics more. Thank you for your innovative product line!
