hi everyone,
drawing a complete blank here, blaming baby brain hehe. I have about 16 hexagonal 1/2 lb glass jars. Without lids for all but 2. And I cannot think of what to do with them!
spam me with ideas please? Either decorative or suitable for gifts I think.

    Wire round the tops to hang them and put t-lights in for lights outside in the nice weather.

    Not sure how old your baby is but when he/she is old enough to do some sticking, cut up some tissue paper, cover the outside of the jar in PVA glue and let LO decorate them then cover with another layer of glue as varnish. Stick a tea-light inside and they're nice in the garden or as pressies for relatives. Or you could do them yourself if you want something tasteful :)

    Outline designs with Pebeo Cerne Relief and then paint with glass paints. Use as candle / nightlight holder

    Fill with home made jams or chutneys.
