Last Minute Food Gifts

Time is running out and Christmas is literally right around the corner. I’m usually always doing last minute gifts, cards, and decorations—so I thought I’d share this quick and easy last minute food gift idea using the goodie bag die from Lawn Fawn. If you can’t already tell—I’m obsessed with that die (click here to view) and I just love how adorable the boxes turn out, whether I’m using pattern paper or directly stamping onto the box—either way is so cute and so much fun to make. But if you ever wondered what sweets might fit in those boxes here are a few ideas:

Hershey’s Kisses—you can’t go wrong with chocolate and you can stuff about a handful of these in each box.

Amaretti Cookies—These Italian cookies are so delicious and I also love the vintage style packaging they come in. You can fit one cookie in each box so it might also be nice to include a few little extras with those cookies.

Mini Gingerbread cookies—I bought these from Trader Joe’s but I’m sure you can also find these at your local markets since these are popular Christmas cookies. You can fit a few of these cookies in each box.

Peppermint Pretzel Slims—these are so tasty and you can fit a good handful of these into each box. I also purchased these from Trader Joe’s. However, these types of treats can also be found in lots of other stores this time of year.

Candy Canes—of course, you must have candy canes. They’re slim and they look so cute peeking out of the boxes. These are definitely a must have for Christmas.


Lastly, I purchased a box of Taste Test Caramels. This is definitely for a chocolate enthusiast AKA my dad. I’m going to simply wrap that gift up and place it under the tree. I thought it would be a cute little gift because he absolutely loves chocolate. 

I hope these ideas helped!
