Old Mason jars can make some pretty great gifts!
Holiday shopping is in full swing, and you’re determined this year to refrain from buying one more tie, one more gift card or one more sweater. You’re also on a budget. Have no fear – we have some ideas for out-of-the-box (we love that phrase!) gifts made from materials you have around the house.
Check out the Malt-O-Meal Facebook page for the “DIY Green Gift Guide”– ideas for every person on your list, compiled from all over the web, and our friends at Earth911 and TerraCycle. You can personalize as little or as much as you want for practical and useful gifts.
For example, Mason jars can make the best gifts! Fill them with ingredients for a favorite dessert, or items for a homemade sewing kit.
Old teacups make cute planters.
If you have a green thumb, show it off in gifts. Make a planter using old, rarely used mugs or teacups.
Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t include gift bows or laptop cases made from our Malt-O-Meal cereal bags! C’mon, they’re cool! Our friends at TerraCycle have such creative minds – they’re always looking for new ways to upcycle!
