Yes, canning jars actually make great souvenirs.
Well, maybe they aren't technically souvenirs. Maybe they were just too much of a bargain, and I couldn't pass them up.
Some travelers leave a little extra room when packing their luggage, in case they find a pair of shoes or an outfit they can't live without....but me? I end up with a fancy 4-pack of 8.4 oz. Italian-made jars and one bright red "Made in the U.S.A." canning funnel!
It's really not so surprising, is it? Preserving food appeals to my frugal side, so why wouldn't I want to take advantage of box of discounted Bormioli Special Edition jars?
Canning equipment & supplies...always in style.
They say ALL the cool kids are buying them ;)
