Easy DIY Candy Jar Gift

As much as I wish I was that person who makes gorgeous homemade treats all the time, the fact is….I’m not.
Oh, I have my moments, of course. There are days when I throw back to my cake decorating era and go wild with gorgeous sugar cookies and drizzled treats. But sometimes you need a break. You need something fast. And you need something CUTE.
That’s where this homemade-ish Christmas treat gift comes in. You only need five supplies, and five minutes to work your magic. It’s ridiculously simple, but makes a stunning presentation!
Supplies Needed:
- Pretty cupcake liners – I collect mine from Michael’s dollar bins and after Christmas sales
- Empty mason jar with lids
- Christmas candy
- Baker’s twine or ribbon
- FREE printable tags
The Project:
Step 1: Clean a medium size mason jar and fill with Christmas treats. I used mini Hershey bars and mini Snickers, Twix, Milky Ways, etc.
Step 2: Place lid on top of jar, and cover with a pretty cupcake liner. Screw band on top of lid and liner.
Step 3: Print treat tags on sturdy card stock, hole punch, and thread with a matching ribbon. You can download the treat tags HERE.
And you’re done!
I keep a few of these jars on hand for party hostesses, to bring to a secret Santa exchange, or as a simple “thank you” gift that goes above and beyond the typical card. They’re so easy, you might just want to give them to everyone on your list!

This is a great easy gift! I love making homemade gifts.
Homemade gifts are really fun. Sometimes coming up with the idea is the hardest part. 🙂
What a cute idea! I love giving homemade gifts too, and this one seems quick and easy – right up my alley! I love the idea of using a cupcake liner for the lid to make it festive! You could even put something like popcorn, chex-mix, or little cookies in there! I like to give out cookies but I usually put them in those little dollar store Christmas bags. I love this idea much better though, thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome, Katherine. The cupcake lids are so easy and they give the gifts that extra bit of cuteness.
