Memory Jars for Valentine's (or Galentine's) are here!
Each gift box comes with a glass memory jar of your choosing, heart or round, a gift pouch with 60 little scrolls, and sparkly tissue paper.

How they work:

• Write down a memory together - a trip you took, something you appreciate about each other, an achievement, a milestone, anything you’ll always want to remember - and the date. It’s more fun if you don’t tell the other person what you’re writing!

• Roll your scroll back up and mark the outside with an initial or symbol to tell who wrote it.

• Put it in the jar!

• Open the jar a year later (or on an important date like an anniversary, birthday, New Year’s) …and read each other’s scrolls together!

• Start fresh for next year! Save all your scrolls for a milestone celebration.

Our first sale on Etsy! We don't advertise being on Etsy much as we have our own website you can also shop through www.elmandemberdesigns.com but it was nice to see someone willing to take a chance on a little Maine company with no ratings! This was the first rack we made together, and I will always love these little octopuses. We still have 1 or 2 nautical coat/towel/key racks both on Etsy and our site, with nice solid iron anchor hooks. Perfect for a lil beach house, or if you're land-locked in Utah, we'll send a little Maine coast to you!
