Gift-Giving Made Easy
The gift-giving season is upon us, and that probably means your to-do list is longer than Santa’s beard. With trees to trim, parties to attend, meals to prepare, and multiple gifts to buy, it helps to have a simple solution for at least one of your must-dos.
Mason jars to the rescue! Typically used for canning or preserves, mason jars have been the belle of the Ball since the late 1880s, and they’ve never gone out of style. They’re compact, reusable, and easy to assemble.
