Christmas Gifts

A big part of the holidays is giving my neighbors a special holiday gift to let them know we care. Sometimes I think my neighbors must think I’m a recluse since I’m always in my shop or working. I promise that isn’t the case! One year I decided I wanted to give Christmas gifts with a little bit of my personality in it, instead of baking cookies or something.  As I am sure you can tell, I love all things vintage, but vintage candy probably wouldn’t taste so great, that is if I could even find some – Ha! I decided to go a different route. My oldest helped me to create all of these Vintage Christmas treats. What a great way to have some mother-daughter time as well as serving others!

Vintage Christmas Gifts – Candy Treats

First, make sure you have all your supplies. Nothing like having to go back to the store 5 times because you forgot something! I bought bagged Hershey nuggets at the local grocery store, holiday section. Then, I wrapped each piece of candy with vintage sheet music that I picked up at my local thrift store. Something that would also be fun is using holiday Christmas music. Once they were all covered with sheet music, I used cellophane to wrap them up in bunches.

Tie some twine around each package and add a cute tag, homemade or otherwise! I attached these awesome tags I found at Shanty 2 Chic for the final touch!

I used a slightly larger size of Hershey bar for these ones, I loved all the fun colored wrappers! To dress them up a bit I went with gold glittered ribbon instead of twine.  I love how elegant they turned out!
