Snowman Gum
"Turn ordinary gum into snowman gum! Great for stocking stuffers, gift toppers, or pop one into your neighbor’s mailbox! These are so incredibly easy and they make a really fun gift for kids to make for friends. Snowman gum makes a cute stocking stuffer that literally anyone can do. My only tip for this is to make sure the marker is dry before adding it to a gift. This super easy idea is awesome for last minute quick gifts. Great for handing out to friends at school. "

These make great little gifts or decorations for your own tree.
2. Santa's Sleigh Gift Boxes: Transform small matchboxes into Santa's sleigh! Paint the matchbox red and add details like gold glitter for a touch of sparkle.
