Guest Picks: There’s a Cookie Jar for Everyone
I’m all about cookies. No, really, I am. (See my website, The Decorated Cookie.) But I don’t even have a cookie jar in my small kitchen. I grew up with the classic glass jar with a rubber gasket and the word “cookies” printed on the side. Plain, straightforward and just enough to stick in my memory. But if I had my way, with unlimited resources, unlimited counter space and unlimited storage, I’d be a cookie jar collector.
Cookie jars are one small way you can let your interests, loves and quirks reveal themselves in your home. With all the options out there, you shouldn’t have much trouble finding one that matches at least one of those interests, loves or quirks. Here is a collection of unique cookie jars — and I haven’t even tapped into the world of vintage ones! — Meaghan from The Decorated Cookie
Sweet Tooth Cookie Jar - $49.99I get the sweet-tooth thing, but I can’t help but think this would be a great gift for a dentist’s office.
Pedigreed Cookie Jar, Corgi - $68Aww, a corgi in Wellies — at least I think those are Wellies. Anthropologie also has greyhounds, poodles and bulldogs.
‘Doctor Who’ Tardis Talking Cookie Jar - $23.99I feel like Dr. Who’s Tardis is risky as a cookie jar. It could disappear at any time.
Cupcake Cookie Jar, Strawberry by Fruit Fly Pie - $85It’s a cupcake! But it’s a cookie jar. But it’s a cupcake! This Etsy shop offers other colors too. (And you must see the pig planters.)
UFO Cookie Jar - $74.99The eyes on the alien light up, which is sure to stop any cookie snatching. Light-up eyes are scary.
Sadie Hedgehog Cookie Jar - $39.95This is not just a cute hedgehog, but a cute hedgehog with a cuter baby hedgehog.
Woodstock Container - $28.99For those who live in the woods and want their kitchenware to blend in with the scenery, there’s this log cookie jar.
Elvis Pink Convertible Cookie Jar - $48It’s Elvis! Though he’s looking somewhat disproportionate in this Cadillac.
‘Star Wars’ Death Star Cookie Jar - $59.99Yep, I got this Death Star cookie jar for my brother. It’s big. You can also get R2-D2 and Darth Vader if you have the counter space. And the cookies.
Gnome Cookie Jar With Gold Cap - $68Bring that gnome indoors!
Painted Rooster Cookie Jar - $39.95This is simply a pretty painted rooster.

Westland Giftware ‘The Brady Bunch’ TV Cookie Jar - $49Or maybe this one. Oh geez, I can’t decide.
