How to fill a gift jar and how to decorate it beautifully?

Name days, anniversaries and many other holidays where it is customary to give gifts. It’s good when you know exactly what item the hero of the occasion needs. And if not?

Then it’s worth remembering that the main purpose of a gift is to give a good mood, which means it’s important not only to give the right thing, but also to pack it in an original way.

A gift jar, decorated in accordance with the occasion and presented with congratulations, will give a charge of positive emotions.

What can you give in such a container?

A decorated gift jar can be filled with many things. It can be:

candies;
various mixtures of herbs;
tea or coffee;
notes with quotes or wishes;
money.

And many more funny or useful things that, if you show your imagination, can be given so that a person will have pleasant memories for a long time.

Vitamins of happiness as a gift

To apply you will need:

Decorative bottles or bottles made from regular saline solution;
Champagne corks or wooden wine corks;
Seeds in multi-colored glaze or any other small candies;
A printer and several templates created in Photoshop or downloaded from the Internet;
A decorative basket or gift box where the bottles will be packaged;
Decorative elements as desired.

What and when to give

The choice of gift packaging contents depends on:

the nature of the celebration (calendar holiday, anniversary, etc.);
relationships between people (what is given to a loved one will be different from what is given to a friend on his birthday).

Candies

An almost universal gift for the New Year, March 8th and just for a small holiday, especially if they are beautifully presented. But it is worth remembering that according to the rules of etiquette, all donated edible things are placed on the table. A sweet present can be designed as follows:

Make an assortment of small chocolates of various shapes or fill a jar with chocolate coins, and decorate the container itself with appropriate accessories and attach wishes.
Wrap each candy in a piece of paper with funny wishes or witty quotes written on it: eating such candies will give you a lot of fun emotions.
As a gift for a man, a jar of sweets, if a holiday for two is planned, can be decorated as a “chest of memories” or “box of wishes” (the woman wraps each sweet in a bright candy wrapper, which describes a pleasant moment of life together or her fantasy).

Herb mixtures

Herbs for tea or preparing various dishes would be appropriate when given as a gift to a friend or loved one.

Such gifts are very popular among women, when girlfriends give each other not only herbal mixtures, but also semi-finished products for baking.

For example, various dry ingredients for a cake or cookies are mixed in a container, which you just need to dilute with water or milk and bake.

You can safely give a man a herbal tea mixture or a set for mulled wine. You can include a bottle of wine with your mulled wine kit (store-bought or homemade).

When giving herbal kits, not only the contents are important, but also the packaging. You need to think carefully about how to beautifully decorate the jar for a gift, because it will stand in the kitchen of the hero of the occasion for some time.

Tea or coffee

Elite varieties of these drinks will be appropriate either as an independent gift, or as a pleasant addition to the main gift.

Notes with wishes or quotes

A beautiful jar with notes received as a gift will significantly lift your mood. You just need to be careful with the selection of texts - it should reflect what a person likes and not hurt his feelings.

Money

Giving banknotes is appropriate for:

wedding;
anniversary;
any celebration for a loved one.

You should not give money for small holiday gatherings - this can cause embarrassment among other guests and disrupt the festive mood.

An exception can be considered when the money in a jar as a gift is filled with small coins and mixed with chocolate coins. An excellent option for a gift in a jar is a set for making cupcakes and oatmeal cookies.

Design options

Most often the question arises of how to decorate a glass jar for a gift so that the packaging matches the contents. Here are some ideas on how to decorate a glass jar with your own hands:

Stylish lid. The contents are placed in the container in an original way (in layers or in a picturesque disorder), after which it is closed with a decorated lid. This can be a napkin thrown over the neck of the jar over a regular screw-on lid and tied with a bright ribbon; the lid can be decorated with sparkles and various small figures (ready-made, for example, from Kinder surprises, or made with your own hands from scrap materials).
Drawing on glass. Having purchased glass paints, you can decorate the jar with inscriptions with wishes (preferably of a humorous nature), congratulations or various drawings. This design is suitable for any content, you just have to use your imagination.
Money bank. A decorative lock and a humorous suggestion to keep money in a bank are hung on the lid. This option is perfect both for giving large banknotes (wedding, anniversary) and for a symbolic wish for wealth (coins or their sweet imitation are visible in the packaging).

Receiving the right thing for a birthday or other holiday is pleasant, but boring, but when the gift is presented in a humorous manner, with appropriate congratulations, it is remembered for a long time.

How to make happiness vitamins with your own hands

We take the required number of bottles, wash them thoroughly and dry them. Then we put candies of a certain color into each bottle. We come up with a mood for each bottle. In this master class, the author labeled the bottles as “Creative Mood”, “Love”, “Calmness” and “Joy”.

We make the appropriate labels in Photoshop. If you don’t know Photoshop, then look for these same labels on the Internet. Next, print them out and stick them on the bottles.

Now, to prevent the container from clanking, we cut corrugated paper into strips and cover the bottom of the box or basket with them. Then we put the bottles there. Also, do not forget to include instructions for using the vitamin in the box. You can print the instructions on beautiful decorative paper, an antique scroll, or regular craft paper. Tie the instructions with a beautiful ribbon or jute rope.

How to make an original sweet gift

Sweet gifts

A good mood bag is usually filled with brightly colored candies with tags. You can use chocolate bars, lollipops, lollipops, chewing gum - the main thing is that the sweetness has a strong wrapper, does not unwind and does not stain the fabric.

We attach inscriptions and wishes to the candies using tape. The main thing is to choose an interesting and suitable text that the recipient will like.

Wishes and statements can be very diverse. It is advisable to guess the mood and state of mind of the future owner in order to “hit the mark” with the right words and please the owner.

Create a surprise

If you decide to please your friends and family with a gift such as a “Good Mood Bag with Wishes,” this is the right choice!

Before starting work, prepare all the necessary materials, a sewing machine, enthusiasm, imagination and get down to business.

First you need to make the bag itself. You should prepare the necessary items to create it:

bright rags or burlap;
scissors;
needle, thread;
ribbons, bows, accessories (for decoration).

Choose the fabric according to the temperament of the person it is intended for. Bright and delicate colors - for a friend and daughter; dark color or burlap are suitable as a gift for a man. For mothers and mature women, choose pastel colors.

The manufacturing process will bring more pleasure than hassle.

Cut two identical squares or rectangles from the scraps. Select the size according to the amount of contents: so that the candies do not stick out of the container, but also do not dangle at the bottom.
Sew the pieces with the right sides facing in, leaving one edge unstitched, and turn them inside out.
Bend the edges of the unstitched side and sew a seam 0.5-1 cm from the bend, leaving holes on both sides: a place for a lace or ribbon with which the bag will be tied.
The base is ready. On a white or colored sheet or cardboard, write: “Bag of good mood.” Attach the inscription to the front side of the bag.
The main part of the bag is ready. You can leave it like this or decorate it with additional accessories: bows, buttons, felt flowers, beads - whatever your imagination allows.

Now let's move on to the second, no less interesting part of creating the gift.

"Santa Claus's sleigh" made from sweets

Oh those sleighs! They are done in 10 minutes and look very decent! You just need to look hard for the runners for them. Special curved lollipops serve this purpose.

We place these candies parallel to each other. Glue a chocolate bar on them.

We fix the rest of the goodies using double-sided tape or hot glue and place a figurine of Santa Claus or a snowman.

In this craft, it is important to maintain proportions: the longest and flattest delicacies go to the base of the sleigh. And all the smaller ones are already on it. From medium to small.

Then you will get a harmonious composition.

This principle is visible in all the photographs shown in this section.

Great, right?

Mini gifts with lollipops

ABOUT! Now let's talk about what to do when you need to give gifts to a large number of children. For example, a child in kindergarten has many friends and wants to congratulate everyone. This is exactly the case for us! My daughter and I found a way out - we made a deer with lollipop. It turned out very inexpensive and cheerful!

So, you need to take mini lollipops. Here they cost 5-7 rubles.

We transfer the diagram onto a thick sheet of paper, but you can print it out.

It’s better to take thick sheets, my daughter and I tried it - album sheets tear easily. Still, the child does the crafts, too.

Now we cut a place for the chupik - inside the deer and a hole for the stick.
We color the horns and eyes. Decorate the face and let it dry. We insert the chupik and glue the horns with glue. Decorate with tinsel or bows.

We got such a cute look.

You can make Santa Claus using the same steps.

I also suggest putting together a mini-present. We take beautiful bright festive cups. We put sweets and lollipops inside. We wrap all this deliciousness in transparent gift paper.

We fasten the top with tape, a stapler and decorate with ribbons.

The same gifts can be used to give gifts to children in kindergarten on Birthday.

Options for wishes in a “good mood bag”

Representatives of the fair sex will enjoy beautiful sayings or motivating phrases, and daredevils will be amused by jokes and gags.

You can design the inscriptions in the form of magic medicines:

"Boredom";
"From yawning";
“From a bad mood”;
“For a gorgeous smile”;
“For a cheerful sparkle in the eyes”;
“Greetings!”;
"For joyful laughter."

It will be funny if the names of the sweets are rephrased in pharmacy terms:

"Antihandrin";
"Smekhaziwin";
"Vitamin Chi";
"Proveselin";
"Radostovirin";
"Happy Delivery";
"Lubvebil";
"Kisslivirin."

Gift tags

We bought or prepared sweets by hand and distributed them among gifts. Now all that remains is to sign who they are addressed to. And for whom we tried so hard.

Therefore, I am attaching ideas for tags with New Year’s symbols to the article.

This is especially convenient when the child made different lollipops or cake pops. I think about different people. So to speak, so that nothing is forgotten.

Thank you for your attention and inspiration! I will be happy to continue sharing ideas with you on various topics.
