Kristyn from Lil’ Luna is here to share with you this cute Cheap & Easy Christmas M&M Gift Jar. This idea goes way beyond the “cookie in a jar gift”.Â
Instead of filling a jar with cookies, this time we’ll use some Christmas M&M’s and an adorable printable tag for a great gift for neighbors, coworkers and those people you want to give a simple Christmas gift to.
Hi there! Kristyn from Lil’ Luna here!!
I’m so happy to be here on Infarrantly Creative today. I adore their amazing creativity!! I can’t wait to share with you a simple and inexpensive but CUTE gift idea.
Not sure about you, but once the holidays hit I’m always looking for a fun and easy gift to hand out to my friends and neighbors.
After seeing the Christmas themed M&M’s at the store, I knew just what to do!! You can use either Mason Jars, empty Crush bottles or any other idea you can find.

Â
Supplies You Need:
- – Mason Jars, Empty Crush or IBC Cream Soda Pop Bottle Set
- – Paint
- – Hot Glue
- – Printables (available here)
- – Metal rings
- – Ribbon or twine
- OPTIONAL: Washi tape (if you want to add it to your box)
How To Make the Gift Jars
1. Begin by washing out each pop bottle and letting dry completely. I usually let mine dry for a day or two.
2. Fill your bottles with Christmas (or Christmas-colored) treats.
3. Save and print the Pop Bottle Printables by going to this LINK. Print and cut out labels.
4. Add scrapbook paper to each pop bottle. I cut mine to be about 3 inches x 9 inches. Hot glue around and add the printable to the middle front.

5. Paint (I spray painted) your box the color you want it. Let dry. Embellish it if desired (I used a little Washi Tape).

6. Add your main printable image to the front center of your box with hot glue.

Â
7. Add your circle printables to the tops of your bottle lids using hot glue.

8. Add your circle word prints to metal rings. Tie this around the tops of the bottles using twine or ribbon.
Place your bottles in your box, and you’re done!!
Now you have a super cute, goodie-filled gift to give to anyone.
Such a cute and simple gift idea that is inexpensive and easy to do!!

who wouldn’t love a jar full of m&m’s? and topped with that cute tag!! so cute.
Of course, everybody loves m&m, one of the popular chocolate that kids love to eat. I remembered when I was a kid and my parent gift me a jar full of m&m and its complete my Christmas.
Very cute! Pinning!
What is the size of the jar? 10 oz?

Hi there! I LOVE the gift tag for the jar. Is there anyway you could make it with the word HOLIDAY instead of CHRISTMAS? Thank you!!! Liz
So glad you like it. It was actually shared by Kristyn from Lil’ Luna as part of my Pennywise Presents series. You can definitely try contacting her directly and see if she can help with the change. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
