Neighbor Gift Ideas

The tag reads: "May your days be happy, your heart be light, your Christmas be merry, and the New Year's Bright!" I used SEI & Cosmo Cricket paper to wrap the candles & Just so Scrappy & Shabby Princess digital kits for the tags.

Homemade Carmels & Tags

I made some Homemade Carmels & put them in these fun little tins & gave them for a few neighbor gifts.. I found the recipe here.. http://mysisterskitchen.wordpress.com/2006/12/07/auntie-karens-homemade-caramels/

Yummy Neighbor Gifts!

Candy Cane, Hugs, Kisses & Butterscotch Pretzels!!

I found some Candy Cane Hershey's Kisses at Walmart and decided I better try making these fun looking pretzels. Everyone thought they were so good but the candy cane ones were by far everyones favorite. BEWARE these things are so addicting.

Buy:

1 Bag Small Pretzels (I bought the smallest I could find, They don't work with the bigger ones, Yep I tried.)

Hershey Kisses (Candy Cane, Chocolate, Hugs)

M & M's (I used Regular M&Ms for the Candy Cane & Hugs & Mint M&M's for the regular Chocolate)

Preheat Oven: 170 degrees

Directions: Place pretzels on baking sheet and put 1 Hershey kiss on each pretzel. Then Bake for 4-6 min just untill chocolate is soft. Then take out and press 1 M&M in center of kiss to squish it down. If your doing white chocolate it melts faster than regular chocolate. And watch them carefully as they will burn. Yep did that too.. Put in fridge to harden. If you want to make the butterscotch ones just melt butterscotch chips in double boiler till melted and just spoon it on top of pretzels..(Much more messier than using the kisses)

Snowman Kit

One of my Sweet neighbors made this darling Snowman Kit for my kids last year.. I thought it was the cutest little neighbor Gift. It had a Hat, Carrot for the nose, a bunch of rocks for eyes & buttons, 2 long twigs for the arms, scarf & a corn cob pipe.

Neighbor Gifts??

Run don't walk to Hobby Lobby... These tins are 50% off this week! That makes them .69 cents each. I thought they were just the right size to put cookies or homemade candy in for neighbor gifts..

Chocolate & Caramel Pretzels are my favorite thing to make & give to people at Christmas!

Snowman Poop! Can't tell I love Snowmen!!! Made with all Stampin Up supplies.

Our sweet neighbor Lisa brought this Christmas gift over for our family last year... It had cookies in the bottom and it was cramed full of all kind of Movie Theater Candy & 4 movie tickets for our family. I love this idea!
