26. Mason jars are very "in" right now.

They are for sale in all the craft stores. They are regular or painted, normal size or really small. All kinds of special lids so that they can be made into little lites.

Pretty amazing marketing really. Now that people don't can very much any more

One woman on Etsy sells them with solar lights and they are really cool.

Men weren't nearly so creative. They just used them to put nails and screws in.
