Here is a food gift idea that is perfect to give to anyone – a co-worker, neighbor, teacher, pet sitter or anyone else on your list. This is what I used for my basket:

Everything you need for this basket can be purchased at Dollar Tree! I put it all in a festive tin with lots of paper shred and popped it in a basket bag.
Customize your basket however you want – use your favorite chocolate, add festive napkins or swap out the graham crackers for a different cookie. Dollar Tree always has lots of fun candy options this time of year!

For around $5 you can put together a really fun gift basket! These are great to do in bulk – if you have a lot of teacher or co-worker gifts to put together, you can easily knock them out in a few minutes.

I went with a gingerbread theme, but you could do snowmen, Santa, elves or the current trend of gnomes! There are some really cute patterns at Dollar Tree right now. Have fun with it!
I included links to Dollar Tree in this post – even if you don’t purchase anything online, it’s helpful to know what might be in your store when you’re shopping. The good stuff is sometimes buried or pushed back on a shelf, so knowing what you want makes your shopping trip more successful!

My Simple Christmas Planner is on sale right now for only $4! I created this 3-page planner to give you the basics you need to keep on top of your plans, gifts and budget. Head over to Etsy and grab one while they’re on sale!

I have only seen the price increase in one store so far, but even then it won’t keep me from shopping there. 🙂

So cute!! I love the gingerbread theme and that the person you gift this to will have a cute Christmas tin to decorate with or store treats in after their s’mores are gone.
