I love to think of fun ways to package holiday candy gifts for my kids, family and friends. It’s simple, festive, fun and oh, so tasty! 

So, I thought of my favorite candy gift package ideas,and put together a collection that not only includes the candy itself, but the gift packaging can be re-purposed in other ways too!< 10 Clever Ways to Package Holiday Candy Gifts

Candy-filled cookie cutter

Glue a doily onto sturdy cardboard backing. Fill a small treat bag with candy, tuck it inside a cute holiday-themed cookie cutter and tape or glue to doily. To finish, add a pretty ribbon on top.

Candy Pouches

These are easy to find at holiday time, and they only cost me 50 cents each. After the candy is gone, they’re super cute for storing post-it notes.

Candy Jar

Fill a decorative candy jar and tie a pretty ribbon around it.

Gift Boxes

Look for colorful boxes or bags, and then add holiday die-cuts or notions to the front.

Stocking Stuffer

Slip your sweets inside a mini stocking, and dangle some tiny decorations from it to dress it up.

Treasure Box

Paint a small hinged wooden box in festive colors, and add a cute holiday sticker to the top. Tuck your candy treats inside.

Holiday Cups/Mugs

A candy-filled cup or mug is a classic favorite.

Ornaments

Fill clear plastic ornaments with colorful candy, and then either tie a pretty bow around the top or attach ribbon stickers. They can be hung on the tree or if you can’t resist the candy, go ahead and shake it out!

Treat-sized Bakeware

Fill a mini loaf pan, ramekin or pie dish with candy. Wrap it with cellophane and some holiday ribbon.

Fabric Bags

Choose a drawstring fabric bag in a fun holiday pattern and tuck a whole bag of candy inside!

All of my ideas were created using Haribo Sour Gold-Bears. They’re brand new, and since so many people, including my kids and I, love sour gummies, they make a perfect choice for a holiday candy gift.

Haribo sour gummi bears

The original gummi bear found in signature gold bags across the country is announcing a new flavor roll-out: Haribo Sour Gold-Bears.

Flavors include Pineapple (clear), Strawberry (green), Lemon (yellow), Orange (orange) and Raspberry (red)m and they taste fresh, fruity and uniquely sour – but not too sour.

Haribo Sour Gold-Bears will hit U.S. shelves in 5-ounce bags this month at a suggested retail price of $1.09 – $1.69.

    A+ for presentation! You know, I bought several pieces of a chocolate brand that were pre-boxed for Christmas. I just noticed it would have been cheaper if I did any of the thing you mentioned! 😀 I think there’s still time to do it, I’ll probably do the canister. 🙂 Thanks, really!

    These are all excellent gift giving ideas. I like to invent ways to package candies and cookies to gift out. I find mason jars are a cute way, but using them could get expensive. There are so many inexpensive Christmas items we can use like the gift bags from the dollar stores. I enjoy making homemade gifts. 🙂

    This post was very helpful- I have one friend who is obsessed with candy- and so I am always having to find ‘semi-clever’ (which means not at all clever, because I am not that creative!) ways to disguise the gifts I give her. With Christmas coming up, I have candy coming for her, so this was a great post to see! You have helped me tremendously, thank you!

I have so many boxes and washi hanging around, that it’s not hard for me to find those. Keeping gummy bears for any amount of time is trickier since I eat them like they’re going out of style. 😉

    These are such cute ideas! I love making my own candy and giving them away for Christmas but your ideas of containers that you can reuse is awesome! Can’t wait to try some of them!

    My mother has always done these kinds of fancy schmancy things for us. I love the gift jar idea because then you can reuse the jar when the candy is gone!
