Cleans Up Well Gifts In Jar For Men

This men’s mason jar gift is called Cleans Up Well. It is filled with men’s toiletries, including a moisturizer and scrub!

Yesterday I shared five gifts in a jar, and one of them is called Cleans Up Well. I decided to make this mason jar gift for men after making so many gifts in a jar for women and after hearing that some of you wanted me to make one.

This jar needed a post in addition to yesterday’s Gifts In A Jar Homemade Gifts Ideas post because I want to share the recipes for the men’s moisturizer and scrub so that you can make it yourself!

Men’s Moisturizer

For the women’s mason jars, I’ve made Coconut Body Butter and Peppermint Body Butter. But for the men’s jar, I didn’t think that body butter was fitting.

So, I simply called it men’s moisturizer and made it using the same recipe as the body butter. To add a scent to the moisturizer, I purchased Bath and Body Works Twilight Woods lotion.

For the scrub, I simply mixed together sugar and body wash like I did when I made the Sugar Hand Scrub for my spa party. I used Bath and Body Works Twilight Woods body wash so that it smells the same as the moisturizer. This scrub works well to get the grime off your hands, and you can also use it in the shower.

Men’s Scrub

I used the same small containers that I’ve used for my other jars. You can find these containers at Family Dollar and spray-painted the lids silver.

Next, I added simple labels to the containers, and you can print them here: Moisturize Labels and Scrub Labels.

In addition to the moisturizer and scrub, we added ChapStick, a razor, Kenneth Cole Reaction and Black cologne, C.O. Bigelow shave cream, Gillette face scrub, and a grooming set.

Assemble the Jar

I took all of the items out of their original packaging, including the grooming tools, and carefully fit everything into the jar.

I put a Cleans Up Well label on the mason jar lid. You can print the label here: Cleans Up Well Labels

This side of the jar helps show how you can see how I fit it all in there.

I’ve got to admit that Brian’s first reaction to a men’s gift in a jar was that it was “dorky.” But I went ahead and assembled the jar anyway. After seeing the jar, he has changed his mind and thinks it is pretty cool.

My son wants this jar, but Brian is keeping it. So, while I can’t promise that the guys in your life will squeal with delight like your girlfriends do when you give them a gift in a jar, they will appreciate the items in the jar!
