Where to Buy Fancy Jars....

Mutantk

I've already got to thinking, like many of you I'm sure, about what I'm going to make for christmas. I mean things like pickled onions, pickled cabbage, soaked apricots and jams etc....

I wonder if anyone knows where I could buy the lovely jars to put them in to make gifts with. I'm after the sort of jars that have metal fastening arms on them - like you might get on tea/coffee/sugar cannisters.....HELP!! Does anyone know what I mean.....Thanks in advance!!

IKEA they do different sizes too

matalan do quite a good size one for £2

bet wilko or pound shop might be cheaper if you get 2nd hand ones cheap clean them up and just buy new rubber seals for them

The kitchen dept in John Lewis have them in different sizes, too, and are quite "price competitive".

Also, our local hardware and kitchen shops have them.
