Caring Village Crafts: A Mother’s Day Appreciation Jar

It’s almost Mother’s Day, a time when we celebrate those in our lives who have nurtured, loved, and supported us. What better way to give back to these people than to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation? A wonderful way to do this is to put together an appreciation jar to give them as a gift.

An appreciation jar is a jar or other container filled with notes written specifically to show how they mean to you. These notes can be written about general things, specific memories, or even meaningful stories that will make the recipient aware of just how much you appreciative appreciate them and what their actions have meant to you over the years.

One of the best things about this project is that it can be as simple or ornate as you want it to be. You can assemble an appreciation jar with a recycled mason jar and some post-it notes, or make a special trip to a craft store in your area to purchase decorations and supplies. And creating this gift is something that you can do as an individual or something the whole family can participate in the making of.
