Next question...jam jar favours!

Do you have an ikea near you? I was in one the other day and they had little jars with silver lids in a set of 4 , and they were only a few pounds for the set they were called Rajtan spice jars.

They might be just what your looking for ?

Hi,

We are looking at doing this as well and I have found this website.... it's good because if you order over a certain amount then the labels are free. You can also order just 1 jar to see if you like the size.. hope this helps! http://www.miniatureglassbottles.co.uk

Hi I'm doing jam jar favours aswell. We had a look in the range but it depends how many you need. x

I too think the mini sized jars you get at a hotel are far too small for sweets (& stingy for jam too!). What about getting friends & family to start saving jars you can use. Do they all need to match?

If you are getting the jars reasonably priced, what about making the sweets inside yourself: fudge, shortbreads, rocky road, coconut ice, chocolates, marshmallows etc.

I've seen a few shaped jars that come in a size between the mini jar and a full jar of jam size & would be 100-200ml in size.

I also found these, but they dont say how many mls that hold.

I've also seen jars at Wilkinsons & maybe at poundland or lidl.

Hi,

They don't all need to match, nope! I've asked work colleagues and family to start collecting them for me. When I asked my Mum, turns out she already has over 40 as she didn't do home made jam this year. Looks like I'll be ok after all! I'm hoping to use bigger ones to hold tea lights as well

Ooo great idea on the Little Chef jam jar collection.. I may try that one myself. I'm going for chilli jam in them to be a bit different (and is the only jam I have every made successfully!)

If you know any one with a baby, ask them to keep the glass baby food jars for you as these are between 100-200ml and would probably suit? ?

I'm having jam jars filled with mini eggs ( Easter wedding) here is a flash:

I asked everyone to collect jars for me, got hundreds upstairs so going to go through them. Becuase they are more table decorations than favours we prefer the look of having different shapes and sizes
