13 Nov Candy Cane Gift Box

We’ve got a sweet little Christmas project that’s sure to make someone feel extra special! 

This week, we’re using an adorable candy cane-shaped Christmas gift box from Hobby Lobby and filling it with all kinds of holiday happiness! Think cozy Christmas socks, chocolates and peppermint treats, goodies that pamper, a few of your handmade ornaments, or even a delicious assortment of homemade baked goods. It’s super easy to customize one for your mom, best friend, sisters, kiddos, favorite teacher, … and it makes the perfect hostess gift!

Wrap it all up in festive peppermint cellophane, top it with a big striped bow, and you’ve got a DIY Christmas gift that’s almost too cute to unwrap. Almost! 😉🍬

Here are the supplies and some fun ideas for fillers…

• Candy cane shaped gift box
• Set of Christmas socks
• Aloe infused fuzzy socks
• Ghirardelli peppermint hot chocolate mix
• ChapStick candy cane flavored
• Hammond’s chocolate bars
• Dionis goat milk hand cream
• Lindor peppermint truffles
• Starlight mints
• Gift cards
• Christmas cellophane gift wrap
• Gingerbread snowflake ornament
• 1.5 inch peppermint striped ribbon
• Scissors

1. Add the largest items first. Anything too tall to fit completely inside the box, might do best at the bottom of the candy cane.
2. Continue filling the box, making sure to place bendable items around the curves. Then tuck a few truffles and mints into the open spaces.
3. Cut a large piece of cellophane (big enough to wrap the entire box). Place the candy cane box on top of the gift wrap and gather all the edges of the cellophane together into a single bunch. Tie it off with the peppermint striped ribbon and trim any excess cellophane, as needed. 
4. For a fun embellishment, add a cute ornament to the ribbon and secure it with a knot. Extra points if the ornament is handmade by you!
   

This candy cane-shaped box can easily turn into a peppermint-perfect Christmas gift that’s packed with personality! Add in a gift card or two, some cozy holiday goodies, or a few homemade favorites. Whatever you choose, it’s sure to make someone’s holiday a little merrier.
