    They make very cute snow globes! You can usually find an assortment of figurines either at a craft store or dollar type store at approx. 10 per bag. Lightly sand the inside of the cap where you'll be using glue. Glue (epoxy works best) the figurines to the top and fill the jar about 2/3rds with distilled water and non metallic glitter. I use hot glue around the rim as I screw the lids on, but if these are being given to adults, you don't really have to do that. If you aren't in need of any little gifts, donate them to a local church or scout group, etc. at the holidays.

    We put a hole in the top and have our congregation fill them with loose change for baby supplies for our food pantry.

    I grow herbs, dry them, and give them to friends as gifts. I'm always looking for small jars. Baby food jars would be perfect for that purpose!

    Wow the ideas are endless for baby food jars. Small items like pins, nails, screws, etc. can be put in them with a label on the outside. Because they are small jars they are easy to place in a drawer with the label side up.

    Buttons, sewing notions, craft supplies, beads, jewelry, bathroom supplies such as q-tips, cotton pads, etc, homemade spice mixes and kitchen storage, hardware in the garage, etc.

    They make a good container for dressing on the salad you take to work, or whatever condiments you need. They are also handy if there is only a little bit of something left in the jar or bottle in the fridge.

    I save almost all glass containers, with lids, then use them to store, leftovers.

    Store little things in them. Screw the lid to the underside of a shelf. Jar will hang
