a little gift idea...

gumball_jars_revised1

I created this project for Making Memories - my assignment was to create a gift for $10 or less.  You can read about it here, on the Making Memories blog

There's a cute little shop in Midway that sells gumballs in jars (among other things, of course).  I love the way they look on the shelves...so bright and colorful and fun.  I was also inspired by my friend, Hilary, who has created tons of cute gumball gifts.

MM listed this project as a gift for teachers...but I think it would be a fun neighbor gift - or a fun gift for the kids to give to their little friends as well (of course, I'd change the papers and embellishments to something a little more bright and playful if it was for a little kid).

I ordered the cutest boxes to hold my neighbor gifts this year...now I need to decide what to make for the inside of the boxes.  Any suggestions?  What are YOU doing for neighbor gifts this year?

  1. These are adorable- where did you order the gumballs from?

    My neighbors gifts always include chocolate, usually homemade fudge :)

  3. gumballs are just so festive! I love the look of these.

    What about peppermint bark, or cream cheese/chocolate truffles, ala Kraft magazine?

    I make chocolate banana bread for my neighbors, but I usually make a few other goodies too, just for fun.
