Crafting a Gratitude Jar Gift Set: A Unique Way to Show Appreciation
“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.”
— Maya Angelou
This is a really beautiful gift to give someone, that works for any occasion.
It is quite simple to put together, and doesn’t cost much depending on the type of jar you use.
Plus, it’s a wonderful way to practice gratitude.
1) Find a Gratitude Jar
2. Write a Note of Gratitude
The next step is to get a slip of paper, and write a letter of gratitude to the person receiving the gift from you.
Write from the heart about why they are so important to you—you could share something specific they did or a special memory.
Hallmark has a nice tutorial here if you need inspiration:
You could dress up the note with some pretty stationary, add some stickers, or include a photos of the two of you together.
A beautiful idea one of my readers shared with me for a Mother’s Day gift idea was collecting letters of gratitude from all the siblings in her family, then putting them all together in the jar to give to their mom. #bestgiftideaever
Once you’ve finished writing your letter, put it inside the jar.
VARIATION:
Instead of a gratitude letter, you could fill it with other inspirational things like quotes, song lyrics, or special memories you’ve shared together.
3. Include a Copy of The Gratitude Jar Book
An optional step is to include a copy of the book, The Gratitude Jar: A Simple Guide to Creating Miracles along with the jar to make it a complete gift set.
This is the book I wrote from MY heart about how using a gratitude jar healed and transformed my entire life, and how you can use a gratitude jar to do the same for yourself
The story is heartwarming and inspiring, and includes step-by-step instructions for exactly how to use a Gratitude Jar to create more joy and miracles in your life.
This gratitude jar gift set truly is a simple and beautiful way to share your gratitude with someone, and I hope whomever receives it from you treasures it for many years to come. ❤
