The Holdster Mason Jar Mug

In keeping with the awesome new trend of finding alternative uses for the ubiquitous Ball Jar, the Holdster will help turn your jar into the coolest of drinking vessels. Each Holdster is handmade from genuine vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, and secured at the seam by either copper rivets or a cross-stitch.

Not only will The Holdster keep your mason jar secure and easier to handle, but it will help insulate, and will have your drinking hand smelling of rich leather all day. The Holdster is currently sold out on its site, but more extensive production is planned and looking for funding on Kickstarter.

Turn a Canning Jar Into a Travel Mug With Cuppow

If you have some extra Ball Jars laying around from the last time you made pickles, and want a cool travel mug — Cuppow is here to help. The simple attachment takes advantage of a canning jar’s spill-proof seal, to create a coffee on-the-go — or maybe you just like to drink your artisan jams on the road. Either way, Cuppow is available here.
