Why Glass Jars Make the Perfect Christmas Gift Packaging

Glass is timeless, reusable, and completely recyclable. It preserves flavours beautifully and elevates the presentation of any homemade creation. Whether you're crafting a rustic jam or a refined truffle oil, glass jars make it look and feel special.


At Sen5es, we stock a wide range of glass jars, including hexagonal, round, and clip-top designs, perfect for all your festive gifting needs.


Easy & Festive Edible Jar Gift Ideas

1. Layered Cookie Mix Jar

Perfect for families, teachers, or neighbours. Simply layer flour, brown sugar, white sugar, baking powder, chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt in a tall glass jar. Finish with a festive ribbon and a handwritten tag with baking instructions.


2. Infused Olive Oils

Add rosemary, garlic, or chilli to high-quality olive oil for a gourmet gift. Leave it to infuse for a few days in a stylish glass bottle, then seal and label.


3. Homemade Spiced Nuts

Roast almonds or cashews with cinnamon, cayenne, and maple syrup, then cool and package in one of our clip-top jars for a crunchy, crowd-pleasing treat.


4. Christmas Chutney or Jam

Preserve the flavours of the season with a batch of homemade cranberry chutney, apple & cinnamon jam or a savoury onion marmalade. Perfect for cheese boards and Christmas leftovers!

Best Jar: 190ml Panel Jar


5. Hot Chocolate Kit

Layer cocoa powder, sugar, crushed candy canes and marshmallows in a mini glass jar. Simply pour in to a mug, add hot water or milk and voila. An instant delicious drink. Great for kids (and adults too!).
