A Neat Gift Idea

The theme for our Women of Worth meeting this month was "Candy Cane Christmas".
This was one of the door prizes. You can use most any candy for the top. This has fake snow and peppermints in the base of the Sunday dish, then a styrofoam ball which fits right on top. The peppermints on top were glued onto the styrofoam ball with hot glue. The curly ribbon (the curly ribbon on this one is white with the words Merry Christmas in red) and red pom pom is in the middle at the top with the two straws. Gift shops sell these for around $15.00. If you can find an inexpensive sundae dish, you can probably make one for approximately $5.00.

This is so adorable! Of course, I hate peppermints, but the people on my gift list are not all like me. I can definitely see this going to a teacher to have on her desk and she could use for herself or as incentives for the kids.

I don't really care for peppermints either. I've seen these with other types of candy and they still look cute. I've been placing these in the cellophane bags with ribbon at the top and they turn out nice.

I was trying to imagine it with cinnamons but I bet even butterscotches would be cute, too.
