Receiving a homemade gift like this tends to evoke the warm feeling that most of us long for during this season.

And I have good news for you–you can make this gift ever so easily using the printable Holiday Hugs and Kisses gift tag I created for you.

Gift Idea #1

I used a small mason jar, filled it with Hershey Hugs and Hershey Kisses, attached the tag with twine and a ribbon, then slipped in a sprig of pine from my backyard.

That’s it!

Check your list–do you have a neighbor? a teacher? a friend? a co-worker still on your gift list?

Gift Idea #2

I love these boxes that are at my Dollar Tree year round. At 2/$1, they make happy packaging.

First, I slipped in red and green tissue paper and filled the box with both Hugs and Kisses.

Then I wrapped the box with red cello wrap (Dollar Store), tied it with curly ribbon, attached the printed Merry Christmas tag, and threw in a candy cane for good measure,

Now, how is this for festive presentation?!

Hostess gift anyone?

***Don’t forget to use this FREE Holiday Hugs and Kisses gift tag I created for you!***

Easy steps for creating the Merry Christmas tags:

1) Print the tags 2) cut them out 3) mat them with your choice of colored paper 4) adhere the matted X and O to the tag 5) punch a hole in the tag 6) run ribbon through the hole 7) tie into a bow

Gift Idea #3

Either of these–the jar or the box–would make the perfect wrapping for a gift card.

Just slip the card in between the Hugs and Kisses and watch the pleasure on the recipient’s face when the bonus gift is discovered!

And there you have it–three gift ideas, all overflowing with Hugs and Kisses.

    Love these and will definitely be making some for Christmas gifts! When I try to print out the gift tag, the ‘Merry Christmas’ isn’t there.
    Thanks so much for posting these ideas!

      I’m sorry, Maureen–I don’t know why the Merry Christmas isn’t printing. I’m wondering if other people are having the same problem.
