The first ones I found were on Williams-Sonoma for $75 for a set of 6, they have so many different sets from gold, to blue and white, to ones with gold trim. I kept searching because I couldn’t justify buying two sets and spending $150.
I found a set of 4 blue and white ginger jar Christmas ornaments for $22 on Amazon and they are basic but I knew I could make them fancier! I’m not a big DIYer (or am I?), but I figure if it’s easy to do, why not? I ordered two sets, but now I think I need one more! $22 x 3 = $66 which is still cheaper than a set of 6! Order soon as they take about 1 week to arrive which seems so slow! *wink*
These would also be adorable place card settings.
What you need
- 3/8″ velvet ribbon (got at Michael’s Arts and Crafts, Amazon here)
- 5/8″ or wider grosgrain ribbon (I bought at Michael’s, Amazon here)
- Set of 5 Ginger Jars, $22 Amazon
- Oil-based gold pen, $4 Amazon
Don’t they look just like the Williams-Sonoma ones? I think so! Took me just a few minutes and it was so great to feel like I saved money and personalized them.
You could also use white or blue ribbon if you don’t want red. I want as much red in my Christmas decor as I can, but honestly I could’ve gone white or blue with the ribbon because I have so many red ornaments in the tree! But, you can’t go wrong either way.
If you come across ornaments that look bland, consider a gold pen, you can probably really cuten up some ornaments or anything else around you! Happy Christmas decorating! Is your tree up?
Diana Elizabeth wonders what to do with the Christmas items that she doesn’t use this year… at what point do they go to donation? Or do they need to stick around for potential holiday props for campaigns?
![[ad] 🎁 I love gifting but I know sometimes it can be overwhelming especially if your list is long. 🎄 If you are having a hard time figuring out what to get that person on your list who has everything, or don't have much time, pick up a gift card (and maybe some candy too)! 🎁 You can find a variety of gift cards from @incommpayments at Walgreens available for purchase.

I like to think about their specific interests - who is handy, crafty, who loves makeup, and who needs a night off from cooking? Gift cards can still be quite personal to the recipient and are always well received! I like giving gift cards to specific retailers because it ensures the recipient is using it on something special just for themselves and not groceries or bills - because I want them to treat themselves. Gift cards are also easy to send to those we won't be doing an in-person gift exchange with this Christmas.

Select gift cards are available to purchase online and pick up in stores!

The jars are so cute! Every time I see anything that’s white and blue, I always think of you! Haha.
