365 Days of Happiness in a Jar
A 365 jar is a jar filled with 365 individual notes, one to open on each day of the year. These notes can be quotes, memories, or anything positive or motivational. They can either be given as gifts or made to be self-motivational. They make great anniversary, New Year's, or holiday gifts for significant others. They also make good gifts for friends or family members who are prone to getting down on themselves. What better way to start the day than by reading notes from a loved one? Personal 365 jars are good tools to make yourself stick to your New Year's resolution. Putting 365 small personal goals or activities (something as small as "play a game" or "get to know an acquaintance better") that will improve your life is in and of itself a great New Year's resolution to stick to. 365 reasons to be happy is another great jar to make either personally or as a gift.
