Mini Glass Apothecary Candy Jar Favor*
Present your guests with a gift they will appreciate with this Mini Glass Apothecary Candy Jar Favor. At 2.75"W x 4.25"H it is small enough for a place setting and heavy enough in the hand to feel like a real object rather than a party throwaway, with the round belly, narrow neck and lidded shape of an old apothecary jar. It is ready to be filled with five ounces of tasty treats, and this customizable party favor is appropriate no matter what you are celebrating.
The front is etched in-house by HansonEllis, in business since 1999, with three lines of up to 12 characters each. That is room for two names and a date, or a short phrase such as the "Happily Ever After" wording couples use, and a ribbon ties at the neck to finish it. Etched glass catches candlelight down the length of a reception table in a way printed labels never manage, and the wording does not peel off.
This adorable jar will add a splash of color and fun to any table, and can serve many uses in the years to come. Fill it with a treat of your own choosing, or with lavender seeds potpourri for a relaxing escape for your friends and family. Guests take it home for the candy and keep it for the jar: cotton buds in a bathroom, thumbtacks on a desk, loose change, a tea light, a single cut flower.
The Mini Glass Apothecary Candy Jar Favor suits a wedding, a baby shower welcoming a new baby into the world, an anniversary dinner, a milestone birthday, or employee appreciation gifts handed out at a company event. Show your gratitude by offering a useful and cute present to take home when guests leave your gathering. These tiny glass jars will find many purposes throughout the years, all whilst reminding your loved ones of a day that was very special to you.

Care and use
- The jar is glass and small at 2.75"W x 4.25"H, so pack the jars with padding between them when you transport a full guest list to a venue.
- Etching is cut into the glass surface rather than printed on it, so the wording cannot peel away the way a label can.
- If you are filling the jars yourself, do it close to the event; five ounces is the fill the jar is built around.
How the Mini Glass Apothecary Candy Jar Favor is personalized
- Type your three lines in the personalization field on this page, up to 12 characters on each line including spaces, then set your quantity.
- HansonEllis etches the front of each jar in-house and ties the ribbon at the neck.
- The jars ship insured by UPS, FedEx or USPS with tracking emailed to you, ready to fill before the event if you are filling them yourself.
Ideas for what to fill it with and what to etch
- Five ounces of a treat of your own choosing, with both names on the first two etched lines and the wedding date on the third.
- Lavender seeds potpourri, for a relaxing escape for friends and family rather than something to eat.
- The "Happily Ever After" phrase across the three lines, which is the wording couples come to this jar for.
- A baby's name and arrival date for a shower, so the jar becomes a nursery keepsake afterwards.
- A company or team line for employee appreciation gifts, with the year underneath.

Which one should I choose
Favor shopping comes down to whether the container is part of the gift or just the wrapper, and how much wording you need on it.
| Mini Glass Apothecary Candy Jar Favor, etched | Choose it when the jar should outlive the candy: etched glass with three lines, a ribbon at the neck, and a second life on a shelf at home. |
|---|---|
| The same jar with no etching | Choose it when the table styling does the talking and nothing needs a name or a date on it. |
| A paper or cardboard favor box | Choose it when the favor only has to survive the evening; nothing is etched and nothing gets reused. |
| A cellophane bag of candy with a printed tag | Choose it if the treat is the whole gift and the container is meant to be thrown away. |
If you want guests to remember the day every time they open a bathroom cabinet, the etched glass jar is the version that stays in the house.
Ordering the Mini Glass Apothecary Candy Jar Favor for weddings and events
Favors are ordered by the guest count, and there is no minimum, so order one jar per seat plus a few spares for the gift table. If each jar should read differently, order the full quantity and email your list to [email protected] after ordering, keeping every line to 12 characters; most hosts use one wording for the whole event and vary only a name. Company logos for a corporate function are a custom order: send a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected], where a logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be etched onto curved glass. Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days of US shipping, and for a wedding order 3–6 months ahead so there is time to fill and set the jars. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
