With beautiful Mason jars all lined up and pretty - no worries! Oh, wait. I do live in earthquake country. But I’ll put the little guys back in the boxes they came in and that’ll help with that ;)<<<

Good planning.

Curious thought of “what if you bought an old foam rubber mattress and set the boxes on that?”

Putting them in the shipping box is actually an extremely good practice... Not only does it make them more stable (as far as falling over), but it also helps shield them from light too.

Mattress might be a bit expensive, but foam carpet underlayment would probably work great and is inexpensive (even free) - just talk to a carpet installer for remnants or used from one of his jobs.
