    • Last-Minute Mother’s Day Mason Jar Gift Ideas

    Recently I was on WDRB in Louisville sharing some simple ideas for cute handmade gifts for Mother’s Day.  

    It was my second time on WDRB in the Morning, and I didn’t throw up or pass out (even though I had dreams the night before I would do both. And fall down the stairs and break all of the Mason Jars on my way into the station *wink*.

    WDRB-May1

    First let me tell you, figuring out how long 3 minutes is while you’re live on the air might as well be a question on the SAT.  I think that’s the hardest thing to get used to, knowing how much to talk about and when to start wrapping things up.

    Luckily Candice (the morning show host) is a pro and kept me on track. I was much less nervous this time and watched the playback and picked up on a few things to work on before my next segment, but overall I felt pretty good about it.

    You’ll be able to catch me on WDRB in the morning every few weeks now, sharing creative ideas and projects.  This summer, I’ll also be talking about some crafts to help keep your kids occupied while they are out of school.

    Last-Minute Mother’s Day Mason Jar Gift Ideas

    Okay, now for the Mason Jar Crafts!! If you need a quick (but thoughtful) gift for a Mom in your life on Mother’s Day, a Mason Jar might be just what you’re looking for.

    You can customize it based on what mom likes and adapt it to any price range. I love the idea that Candice shared on the air of filling it up with love notes or coupons.

    15 Clever Mason Jar Gift Ideas for Mom - perfect for a last minute gift!

    Here are 15 Mason Jar Crafts that any Mom would LOVE… several of them were featured in my on-air segment, and a few are from friends around the web.

    Baking themed Mason Jar Gift - perfect for a last minute gift!

    1. Baking Mason Jar

    For a Mom who loves to bake! Fill your Mason Jar with some cute cupcake liners. Throw in a new set of measuring spoons (because you can never have enough of those in my opinion) and tie a couple of colorful spatulas to the outside to finish it off.

    Spa in a jar-- perfect for a last minute gift!

    2. Spa Day Mason Jar

    Mom’s can always use a little bit of pampering. Fill up a Mason Jar with a few of her favorite colors of fingernail polish and some spa-inspired items too.

    5. Sewing Kit Mason Jar

    A DIY Sewing Kit would be a great gift. Use a bit of fabric and stuffing to make a pincushion for the top and fill it up with colorful notions.

    6. Jelly Bean Mason Jar

    For the Mom who loves candy. I have a good friend who LOVES jelly beans; I can’t say that I blame her! If Mom’s a fan, fill a jar with a colorful assortment of beans and top it off with a flower for fun.

    Mommy Survival Kit - such a cute gift idea

    7. Mommy Survival Kit Jar
