Looking for a last-minute Mother’s Day gift?  Or thinking ahead to end-of-the-year teacher’s gifts?

I am in LOVE with Mason jars these days and had a sudden inspiration earlier today.  I had everything on hand and in just a few minutes, it all came together for this super cute gift idea.

Here’s what you need: 

  • A half-gallon Mason Jar (I got mine at Michaels for around $3.)
  • Some packs of Crystal Light
  • Some  fun straws (I got the ones pictured on Amazon for my son’s first birthday last week.  Maybe you could find some at a party store as well?)
  • Ribbon
  • A magazine

Other ideas: 

  • Gift Card to a local coffee shop or Starbucks
  • A gift certificate for a fun Kindle eBook

Amazon offers some great magazine subscriptions for under $10. You could pick up an issue in-store and slip in a note letting her know that a subscription is on its way to her mailbox.

What do you think?

Now doesn’t that just say summer relaxation all over it?  I love that the Mason jar can double as a pitcher for the Crystal Light!
