Are you still looking for a good last minute gift?

I think the best way to give a neighbor gift is to cook up your favorite treats and give it away to dear friends and family.  This way you are giving a bit of your hard work and love with each bite.


But I admit, while those super cute neighbor gift plates are amazing, what do you do with them after Christmas?


So instead, I made up a few plates of goodies and used a glass plate from Walmart with one of these cute Christmas gift plate.  You just cut out the 4 inch circle and glue it to the bottom of the glass plate.  Then your neighbor can just throw away the Christmas insert and use the plate all year long.


A double win, right!


Here's the free printable if you still need a last minute neighbor gift.

Did you get your Christmas cards out?


I am so bad.  I haven't done cards in years.  I always felt like they needed to have the "what we did this year" letter in it, but I could never write one well.  For a few years, Dear Hubby wrote the letter and we mailed out the cards, but then we moved and were in the hotel during Christmas. 


We never got back into the swing of it again.


So instead of giving cards out at Christmas, I like to give Candy bars.  Who won't forgive me for not having "THE" Letter if I give them chocolate instead?  I haven't had any complaints yet.


So today, I'm sharing a fun candy bar that you can give out to all your friends and co-workers this year.


These three JPG files, are perfect for printing out on your home computer and wrapping around a regular candy bar for a fun treat for everyone on your Christmas list.


I hope you enjoy and have a Merry Christmas this week too!

Christmas is right around the corner and it's last minute crunch time.


Have you got all your shopping done?  Your wrapping?  All your stocking stuffers?


I actually finished my shopping early this year, but I always seem to be looking for little things that I can add to stockings.  Especially if those things are candy.


Decorate the candy in your Christmas stocking with these printable stickers.  With snowman, elves, and gingerbread these stickers will bring a smile to everyone on your Christmas list.

It's been a while since I had whirly pops in the house.  When my computer crashed and I lost everything last year, I stopped doing the party suckers in the store.  But being home with my family and their candy store, I started playing again, and made these Christmas stickers for the 3 inch whirlypop suckers.

If you have some suckers in your local candy store, or if you want to quickly order some from Amazon, go ahead and save this jpg picture file.  Then you can use a 2 1/2 inch circle punch to cut out and then some glue or sticker paper to secure them to candy suckers or as gift tags for Christmas presents.

Christmas Nativity Hershey Mini Candy Bar Wrapper Printable

Add a quick and easy stocking stuffer to your Christmas gift ideas this year with this beautiful Christmas nativity Hershey mini candy bar wrapper printable.  It will help you bring a little bit of Christ into your home and Christmas on a busy Christmas morning.



I think the hardest thing about Christmas is coming up with stocking stuffers.  It's easy to spend a fortune and put more money into the stocking than in to the actual Christmas presents.


So I try to find cheap and easy ways to fill the stockings up with candy and treats that I know the kids will like.  I know they all like chocolate, so it was a no brainer to make up these Christmas nativity Hershey mini wrappers.


These wrappers have a cute nativity theme clip art designs on them.  You'll find a Christmas angel, the three wise men, Mary and Joseph with baby Jesus, and a Shepherd and lamb.  I just love how these guys have a raggedy feel to them.


Putting these nativity characters in my kids' stockings will help them remember, if only for a moment or two, about Christ as they go through their Christmas morning.


Hershey Mini Candy Bar Wrapper Free Printables


These candy bar wrappers are super simple to make.  Go to the picture at the bottom of the page.  Right click and save to your computer.  Find the file and print it.  You can print on to just about any type of paper.  I really like to use photo paper, but I've also used Card stock and regular typing paper too.

When you are printed, cut out the Nativity characters.  There are 5 wrappers in each sets with three sets on each page you print.


How to Wrap a Candy Bar Wrapper Mini



To wrap your candy bar, simply place the clip art over the front of the candy bar.  Place it on the "humped" side with the writing on it.  Now fold the top of the wrapper around the back, and then wrap the bottom around the back.  Add a bit of glue to the back of the bottom wrapper and secure it to the top part.  (Is that clear as mud?)




Once the candy bars are all wrapped, carefully slide them inside a pretzel bag (found at any craft store)  I really like using the Wilton bags because the bars slide right in without any effort.


Start with the bottom candy bar, and work your way up.  Use whatever order you like, but I liked it with the scripture in the center above the Christ child.





Now tie your pretzel bag off with a bow and cut off any excess of the bag.


You're done.




Didn't I tell you it was a super easy stocking stuffer or neighbor gift idea?  Gotta love it.  If you did, please pin the project to share with others and then check out my other Christmas mini candy bar wrapper printables available in our download shop.

It's Day 3 of our Blogger Online Christmas Advent, and that means ME!  Welcome to all our new friends that are hopping around enjoying the daily posts.  Today, we are doing something a little different.  Today we are crafting with candy!

Three years ago, when I came up with the Elf Kisses poem for Christmas, I had no idea how popular and in demand that poem would be.  I've seen it used so many ways since then.  And I hope that it has brightened many children's Christmases as their Elf on the Shelf, or holiday friend, brought them a sweet bag of Christmas kisses.

So of course, it was time for the Elf to come back and share a new poem with lots of elf hugs to enjoy with all his Christmas friends.


He's had a little bit of an update in his look (I didn't draw him this time.)  He's trying to get with "the times", but the North Pole is not quite on the fashion scene you know.

But whatever he's wearing, he's back to watch your kids and help them choose the right this Christmas.

His poem reads:
Santa and I are watching you
As you choose to be naught or nice,
So I'm sending you some sweet Elf Hugs
To help you choose the right.


This candy topper would be great to have your Elf on the Shelf bring your kids one morning before Christmas.  Maybe even after a day when they weren't being too good and needed a reminder that Santa's watching and Christmas is coming.

I know I certainly may send myself a few Elf hugs because I know I have a tendency to get a little stressed and grumpy at Christmas some days.  There's nothing better than a few pieces of chocolate to give you a moment to wind down and enjoy the holiday.


As are all of my candy topper printables, the Elf hugs printable comes in four different versions for you to download.  You can use it as a 3x4 inch bag topper (great for classroom gifts), you can use it as a tag (for larger bags of hugs), or as a sandwich bag topper (perfect for Mama bear and her friends.)

You can purchase and download all of the Elf Hugs candy topper here.  And be sure to get your Elf Kisses printable too!

Help your kids to choose the right this Christmas with a fun gift from their Elf on the Shelf.  These elf hugs candy topper printables are perfect to remind them that they need to be nice for Christmas in a sweet way.
