I just love these Mason Jar Snow Globes. They are absolutely adorable and make such a great gift!
What is it about mason jars that just add so much charm to pretty much any occasion? I use them as vases, make overnight oats and salads in them, serve beverages in them, and store things in them.
So, of course, when it comes to the holidays, I love to make use of mason (and other) jars then too! That’s why I just love these Mason Jar Snow Globes so much.
These make fantastic gifts – perfect for a unique take on hostess gifts, neighbor and co-worker gifts, teacher gifts, and more. Fill them with whatever you’d like.

These are so cute! I had seen a similar idea using the small village people from Dollar Tree, but when I went to get them, they were all gone. I never thought of using miniature ornaments! Thanks for the idea!

Rachell says
Those are so cute and such a good idea! Where did you purchase the ornaments at? I got mine at Dollar tree and I had a really hard time cutting them in half.
Cyn Gagen says
I got them at a Canadian dollar store – Dollarama – a while back. I have also used the ones that open into two halves so then there’s no cutting needed. I ordered them online but have seen them at Michaels from time to time too.
Rose in Michigan says
I love miniature ornaments and already own several but didn’t know how to display them where they could be easily seen. This snow globe idea is ideal to appreciate the small details in each ornament. It’s ingenious! Thank you.
Cyn Gagen says
I’m glad you like it. That’s a great idea for your miniatures.
