Jar-ring gifts...

I love mason jars.  It's ridiculous to even mention, since I know that's like, DUH.  Doesn't every crafter?  But yes, seriously, I do.  I have a whole pinterest board devoted to them.  I love putting gifts in them.  Making them pretty.  There's so much potential...

And as I looked through my "gifts for all occasions" board on pinterest, I realized a lot of them involved jars.  And my FAVORITE FAVORITE gifts nearly always involve some kind of fun, unique "packaging" - like mason jars.  Or mugs.  Or travel cups.  Or buckets.  Or different kinds of tote bags.  In any case, I thought it only appropriate to smoosh all of these great ideas together into a fabulous round up:
