Gifting season is here! I'm always on the hunt for clever, personal ideas for all the important people in my life-- especially during the holidays. From family members to teachers, neighbors to work colleagues, the number of individuals I like to shop for is quite large, but... my wallet isn't.
Frustrated with the lack of budget-friendly gifts for large groups, I strolled the seasonal aisles of my local grocery store in search of a creative low-cost solution. Inspiration struck! It all started with the humble candy cane...
Candy canes are not only a cost-effective treat, but they're free from major allergens which is often a requirement for foods brought into classrooms and workspaces. With a simple sketch, a twist tie, and a box of candy canes, I created a world of imaginative Christmas and winter-themed characters from Santa's workshop and the Nutcracker ballet... and you can too!
✔️ affordable ✔️ unique ✔️ allergy-friendly ✔️ eco-friendly ✔️ FUN!
