Not only would this make a great Christmas gift, but a lovely hostess gift as well. By the way, even if you don’t make this for someone else, it’s a great DIY project to get all your winter hats, scarves and mittens organized. Either give these individually or combine them with other little gifts. You can find succulents that are pretty cheap or you could always use fake ones if you want.
During this year’s round of get-togethers, how about raising the stakes and giving an amazing gift? The premise of being an instant millionaire sure is more compelling than a lousy Facebook invite.

Almost every dollar store sells baking ingredients—salt, baking soda, and sugar. Stock up on bags of the sweet stuff to make jars of minty sugar scrub. This scrub is luxurious, it smells great, and it really works for smoothing rough skin on heels and elbows. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun to give people luxury items and fun gifts they would never buy themselves.

I was able to stuff the dishes in the bags, swirl them closed, and twist the little thingies around the bag and nothing fell out! It's best to get an assembly line going when putting the bags together. I made 30 candy filled ring holders putting a certain number of each kind of candy in each dish then stuffed the ring holders in the bag and tied it up. Now that I had everything the next thing to do was fill the ring holders with candy. I decided I needed more candy so I raided our leftover Halloween candy pulling out all the red wrapped Kit Kats.
Add smaller items in between until you are happy with the look. The photo above shows how the basket looked after I got it together. Very Uptown for less than $15 and such nice items, fun and useful. I added some festive ribbon and a few sprigs of greenery to the basket. In this basket, include items like a mug, a candle, mittens, socks, a scarf, twinkle lights and chocolate. You can personalize the mug with your Cricut using this Cricut project file.
