Creative Candy Gift Ideas
- Give a creative candy gift inspired by an old-fashioned candy shop. Purchase a variety of old-fashioned candies such as peppermint sticks, chocolates wrapped in foil, jelly beans or any other candy the gift recipient would like. Place the candies in clear glass or plastic jars. If using old peanut butter or pasta sauce jars, spray paint the lids a solid color or cover the lids with scrapbooking paper for a decorative detail.
- If you want to impress your friends and family with a unique candy gift, try giving them customized, engraved chocolate bars. Visit the Creative Candy Land website to create a custom design to be engraved into Belgian chocolate. This gift is best for handing out to a group because the order limit starts at 20 bars for a customized design. If you are a boss looking for gifts for your employees, or you want to treat your entire family to a candy gift for the holidays, this is a possibility.
- Add a personal touch to a candy gift by creating a photo candy holder for a birthday, mother's or father's day or a holiday gift. Start with a simple lift-top container of any size or shape. Paint the outside of the box a solid color to match the occasion. For instance, paint the box green for a Christmas gift or pink for a daughter's birthday. Then, print out a photo, trim it to fit the top of the container and glue it on. Fill the box with any type of small candies.
- Get crafty by making a glittery Santa-shaped box to fill with candy for a creative Christmas gift. Using an egg-shaped box, paint, glitter, felt and a few other crafting supplies, you can create a jolly-looking santa claus container to store delicious homemade candy. If you use up all of your creative energy making the container, fill it with store-bought candy for an easy alternative. The glittery exterior is great for children's gifts or as gifts for those who are young at heart. For step-by-step instructions, see "Resources."
