DIY Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas Using Glass Bottles and Jars

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and what better way to show your love than with a thoughtful handmade gift? Whether you’re creating something special for a partner, friend, or family member, DIY gifts in glass jars and bottles are a charming and sustainable way to make your present truly personal.

From sweet-filled jars and homemade liqueurs to romantic candle holders, we’ve gathered our favourite Valentine’s Day glass gift ideas that are as delightful to make as they are to receive.

Sweet Treats in Glass Jars

Nothing says “I love you” quite like something sweet! Fill one of our 190ml round jars or 280ml hexagonal jars with chocolates, heart-shaped sweets, or homemade fudge.Tie a ribbon around the lid, add a personalised tag, and you’ve got a beautiful, thoughtful gift in minutes.

Top tip: For an extra romantic touch, layer your sweets by colour. Think reds, pinks, and whites for a Valentine’s Day sweet jar that looks as good as it tastes.

Homemade Jams, Curds & Honey

If you love to cook, why not make your own edible gift? Homemade strawberry jam, lemon curd, or flavoured honey are classic Valentine’s favourites. Store them in our elegant 350ml Le Parfait Jars for a professional finish.

You could even create a small breakfast gift set. Include your jam, some homemade scones, and a little note saying “Breakfast in bed?”

Sweets in glass jars make the perfect gift!

Infused Spirits & Liqueurs

For something a little stronger, try crafting your own infused liqueur or spirit! Mini glass bottles, like our 50ml mini flask bottles or 100ml flask bottles, are ideal for filling with homemade strawberry gin, vanilla vodka, or cinnamon rum.

These make brilliant Valentine’s Day gifts for cocktail lovers, or as wedding-style favours for a romantic dinner party.

Candle Holders & Romantic Decor

Glass jars aren’t just for food. They make stunning candle holders too! Create a cosy atmosphere by turning Kilnclip jars or jam jars into candle lanterns. Decorate them with lace, twine, or even pressed flowers to match your Valentine’s theme.

They’re perfect for a homemade table centrepiece or a romantic dinner at home.
