Few objects serve as a decorative accent, a vase for flowers, and a vessel for preprepared meals and cocktails, but mason jars are one such useful item. Instead of a bouquet of flowers, give Mom a set of large mason jars to keep on hand for every occasion. From entertaining with a big batch of homemade lemonade to storing a chia pudding parfait, mason jars are the multifunctional gifts that keep on giving.
