Candy can be a place of nostalgia for many people. The sights and smells of an old-fashioned candy store bring back a flood of fun memories of simpler times. If you want to surprise your loved ones with classic and thoughtful candy, try putting a new spin on it!
Today, we’re sharing nine fun gift ideas that any sugar lover will appreciate.
1. Candy Bouquets
If you’re tempted to gift flowers for an occasion like Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day, consider a bouquet of candy instead! This edible and delicious twist on a classic gift is sure to be a hit for the candy lover in your life. You can purchase candy bouquets in a specialty candy store ormake your own!
To tackle this DIY project, you’ll need:
- Some of your loved one’s favorite candies in various sizes
- Candy hearts
- Ribbon
- A mason jar
- Wooden skewers, straws, or lollipop sticks
- Hot glue or super glue
Simply glue the candy packages and bars to the sticks. Once they’re all assembled, fill the jar with candy hearts and tuck the sticks inside. Add a ribbon around the top, and you’re good to go! The best part of this DIY gift is that it will give you some leftover candy to munch on.
2. Treat Towers
If you want a surefire way to impress the receiver, treat towers will help. A treat tower is like a jewelry box filled with candy instead of trinkets. It consists of three or more boxes, each slightly smaller than the other, stacked on top of each other. The boxes are filled with candy, stacked, and then tied together with a ribbon. This offers a unique twist on a birthday cake.
3. Personalized Candy
Personalized gifts are always a hit, so why not apply that to sweets? Try reprinting candy bar labels to customize a meaningful message. You could also use candy bars to spell out a messageas a poster. Some companies also offer their own unique customization options, too. No matter your direction, a personalized gift will show how much you care.
