EASY Mason Jar Thank You Gift Idea

Happy Hump Day everyone! Can you believe we are already half way through the week? Me, either. My week has been full, has yours?

I have a couple of friends that I NEED to make gifts for. They have helped me in many ways over the past few years. Each one of them are excellent cooks, so I thought of an EASY Mason Jar Thank You Gift Idea.

This post was updated January 2026.

I have linked all of the components so you can purchase them to make your own EASY Mason Jar Thank You Gifts.

I went to my local nursery and bought potted herbs.

 All of mine happened to be oregano, but you can use anything you want.

Using blue canning jars that I found at the local thrift store, I planted my herbs.

OR you can buy blue mason jars here.

Carefully, I tapped and worked out the herbs and all the dirt from the original pot.

I placed the loose soil at the bottom of the jar.

Delicately each of the herbs were planted in the jars.

Making strips of burlap-2 inches wide I wrapped each one around a jar.

Carefully, I wrapped the bakers twine around the burlap to hold it onto the jar.

With a paper punch, I made flowers and tags from scrapbook paper.

Then clipped the paper flowers and tags on the jars with a clothespin that I used here.

Now was THAT EASY or what? Ideal for housewarming gifts, hostess gifts, or for a beginning gardener. Also birthdays, Mothers Day, Christmas or a new cook! SO MANY choices!

When I give my friends their gifts, I will be sure to tuck in the growing instructions. That way they can grow their own herbs at home, in the kitchen, porch or plant them in their own garden.

It was really fun to show you my EASY Mason Jar Thank You Gift Idea.  I would love to hear about a twist that you would use on your Mason Jar Thank You Gift Idea.

Thanks, AS ALWAYS for stopping by today.

Make it a wonderful day!
