The boys are away this weekend
so I spent yesterday wrapping presents
to put under the tree to surprise them
when they get back this afternoon
Besides wrapping the family gifts, I made party favor bags
for the boys and their cousins
Every year our extended family gathers for a luncheon on Christmas Eve
Between my sister-in -law and I, we have 5 children and 11 grandchildren
I always make a little favor bag for all the grands to take home
This year I filled ziplock quart size plastic bags with Cookie Pop,
Candy Pop, chocolate peanut butter pretzels, peppermint bark,
Hershey’s Mint Chocolate Kisses, and a candy cane
I tucked each filled bag into a holiday gift bag
I made Santa Snacks tags and put one on each bag with the child’s name
I made printable gift tags if you want to print them
for making your own treat gifts
You can download them here
I made a few extras for a couple of friends
and the little girls that live next door
So even if you don’t have time to bake a batch of cookies,
a few things from the grocery will be a nice surprise
when packaged in a festive bag~
A few years ago I made the children Reindeer Food
Reindeer food is simply cereal
with a peanut butter and white sugar coating and M & Ms
You can see the recipe here
You can download the reindeer food printable tags here
Snowman Poop is fun to give children,
it’s just a bag of marshmallows for their cocoa or for roasting
You can download the printable here
There’s still time to whip up some fun party favors
for your holiday gathering!
Merry Merry!
