If you read my post on holiday drink boxes you already know I have a love hate relationship with Dollar Tree. However, with fun gift giving idea’s it is a great place to start.
I enjoy giving people gifts that are thoughtful and not just more clutter, so food/snacks/special treats are always a good go to. This candy bouquet is a great way to create an easter basket, birthday “flowers” or even a Valentines gift. The occasions are endless and the variety of candy you can choose from make it perfect for a specific person.
You start with four boxes (all the same size) to build a base and then fill it with all of their favorites. I went with beef jerky, candy, cookies, I was able to get everything at Dollar tree which also made it cost effective!
In total this specific candy bouquet cost less than $20
This concept can be changed and used for similar ideas that are not candy related like:
