Fillmore’s Favorite Things – A Gift Guide for Last Minute Shoppers + a Giveaway
Christmas is almost here and the number of shopping days left until the big day is dwindling. We’ve put together some of our favorite things in hopes that you’ll find something perfect for those still on your list.
- JarBox
The JarBox is a specially designed plastic container to help preserve your preserves by keeping them safe, secure and easy to transport or store.
- 4 oz. Tapered Jars
This size jar is perfect for small canning projects, storing spices, desserts in jars, and baby food.
- One Piece Plastisol Lids
These lids come in so many fun colors – silver, black, red, yellow, green, white, and gold. A great way for any jar lover to deck out their jars.
- Candle Wick Trimmer, Bell Snuffer & Wick Dipper
These handy tools will help keep candles burning their best and are essentials for any candle fanatic. They also make a perfect hostess gift!
- Cuppows & ReCAPs
These Mason jar lids turn any mason jar into a travel cup, sippy cup or a dispensing lid for mixes and concentrates.
- Elite Ball Canning Jars
A great jar size and style for sharing jams, spreads or treats in jars. This jar is also a hot item for our Mason Jar Meal friends and our DIY bath & body fans.
We can ship any of these items directly to your special someone, saving you time and money on shipping.
If these items don’t fit the bill, take a look at our Products We Love board on Pinterest.
Of course, in celebration of our Season of Sharing we have to giveaway one of our favorite things! We love the Homemade Living: Canning & Preserving book by Ashley English. This guide provides all the practical, hold-your-hand basics along with plenty of step-by-step photos to make jams, jellies, pickles, chutneys & more.
The Elite Ball jars…both sizes 🙂
I’m pretty new to canning, but jams are my favorite. Blueberry lemonade jam and onion jam. Next summer, I want to preserve more fruit and veg for winter.
I love anything canning or even candle making, and possess most of them, but would love to win something more. Wish wish wish. 🙂
The jarBox would keep the jars I want to give as gifts a lot cleaner.
I’m hoping Santa brings me some cuppows!
The cuppows!
The Elite Ball Canning jars, and more of the ReCaps!
i recently made some mini pumpkin pies in some 4 oz, and some hand lotion in some….and i like to give gifts in them….im going to make some lanterns out of them next week
My favorite things in jars is money. I love collecting coins in jars.
I love filling my jars with homemade goodness to bring a bit of summer to a dreary winter day.
The Ball Elite Jars are on my personal wish list this year!

I REALLY want the Food in Jars book on your Pinterest page!
Cupppows! I need one!
My grains!
I like the re-caps so that I can store sugar in a half gallon jar and have easy access. The storage boxes are also cool.
The Elite Jars
Love the elite ball canning jars. I think one of my favorite jams this year that I made was strawberry vanilla jam- yummy!
Cuppows!
I would love some cuppows! How handy!
Such cute and useful products–love them!
The plastisol lids and the cuppows are my faves 🙂
Just wandering if anyone would know why I am getting white type spots on my container candles. I’m using dye with the wax & the color has white spots after curing??? I just recently switched over to Nature Wax C-3. I used another soy type wax from another company for 10 years. It worked wonderful, but I also like this wax and want to perfect the look of the finished candle. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you
Hi Kathy,
Having a high resolution photo of the white spots and a detailed process description of how you process your candles will help us make more specific corrective suggestions, but we’ll start with a few standards. Assuming this is “bloom”, the first objective is to control your cooling process. Experience says it is probably from cooling too quickly, so you could try heating the glass a little or pouring at a slightly higher temperature. Make sure to heat the wax higher than 160°F and keep it there for at least 15 minutes before cooling to add fragrance below flash point and then to pour temperature. Cure at room temperature or slightly higher.
Email photos and process to csr@fillmorecontainer.com for more specifics, and let us know if the suggestions yield your desired finish or not. Thanks for reaching out, and thanks for your business!
I want to get the 12 oz. bottles and caps because I just bought a Soda Stream and want to make soda in bottles. I also want the 8 oz. straight side jars to use for pies in a jar, to store leftovers and chopped veggies in! I love meals in jars!
