Happy Friday: Frugal Candy Card
Sent from reader, Sarah:
My husband’s birthday was this week and I thought I would share a picture of the card we made for him. My husband loves candy, and I usually give him candy with his birthday present each year. This year, we wanted to make it more interesting! Plus, you have posted so many deals for super inexpensive candy that it was hard to resist! Needless to say, it was a BIG HIT! I figured this style could also work for Teacher Appreciation Day, Mother’s, Father’s Day, and more!
[h2s_box]Dear Daddy –
We were going to give you a Whopping 100 Grand for your birthday, but the money slipped through our Butterfingers. We didn’t have any Extra Whatchamacallit to sell and it wasn’t Payday. We didn’t think a pet KitKat, a trip to New York or an Orbit around the Milky Way would be appropriate. We do wish you Mounds of Almond Joy as you eat this card. We hope it doesn’t make you Rolo-over and get sick, but if it does, we promise not to Snicker. Love, your 3 Musketeers[/h2s_box]
HAPPY FRIDAY!

Too cute! Grandkids & I will have to do this for Pappys B-day. He will love, it he is a chocolate addict!
Very creative!!!
Our daughter did this for my husband for his b’day. At the end it said Love your airheads and put 4 flavors of them for her, her husband and their 2 children. My husband loved it.
very cute.
love it;) my girls both have friends with bdays this week
I was trying to copy this post so I could put it in my idea folder so I wouldn’t forget & when it hit me, DUD, that’s what the Hip List is for! LOL!
A-DORABLE!
We’ve done this for teachers gifts for Valentine’s day last year–there’s lots of ideas on Pinterest to make it for a teacher.
This is perfect! My dad is one of those “What do I get you? You have everything” guys and he’s no help by saying “I don’t need anything” but I want to get him something and he is in love with chocolate! This will be perfect! Thanks 😀
I love it
Love it!!! Thanks for sharing
Love it!!!
I did a “book” like this for my grandpa on his 90th bday. He got such a kick out of it. It had 5 “chapters”. 🙂 It’s a great idea. Good job Sarah!!
So cute! I think I’ll do it for my Daddy!! Thanks for sharing, Sarah!
Anyone have wording for a pregnancy announcement? Just prepping just in case. 🙂
This is so absolutely adorable and as a retired teacher may I say they would love this but not only on teacher appreciation day and sooooo inexpensive. Thank you for this!
Love it! Ya might want to copyright it!
We did this exact same thing for my Dad for his 60th birthday. It was signed Love your, Airheads. Had the big Airheads for me, my siblings and our spouses and the mini ones for the two grand-daughters. He loved it and it was the hit of his party!! Such a fun idea. I work as a school Secretary and got one similar one year for Administrative Professionals Day. So fun!
Love it! I must make one of these for my oldest daughter 15th birthday in january she will love the candy.I love how they blacked out the words.
Oh Wow! I had no idea! I happened to be browsing Hip2Save and saw my own picture! Thanks everyone, he loved it, and I hope your special someone will love it too!
Kids do this all the time at the school that I work at for their teachers. I’ve seen these for years.
Very Cute!!!
I would’ve loved to do this for my grandfathers 78th birthday coming up this weekend but unfortunately he’s diabetic 🙁 Any ideas on how to change up the candy a bit to suit his diabetes?
It Maybe A Little Tricky But Im Sure It Can Be Done Id Say Instead Of Focusing On The Candy Bars Name Its Self FocuS On Parts Of It Like Something With Mint Being Mint ToBe Or One Of The PecaN Or Carmel DelightS Being What A Delight He IS SomethinG With Nuts BEing How EveryOne Is Nuts About Him Etc Just Get Creative Speak From The Heart And Im Sure He Will LOve It Good Luck And I Hope This Helps

I LOVE THIS!!!! What a fun and awesome project you guys did!!! You did a great job and I just love love love it!!!!
I am so stealing…I mean borrowing…this for my hubby’s bithdat in a couple of weeks. I wish I could pin this!
Super cute!!!
Good idea! So cute/sweet and fun.
Love it! I did one like this for Valentines Day.
Have done a few of these over the years. Not as easy as it looks to get the spacing right! For those thinking they will do it, be sure to measure and pre-plan to make sure you get it all on the available card stock – in fact, I would recommend having a backup – and allowing plenty of time to arrange and rearrange!
We did this all the time growing up for teachers, friends and just to say thank you. They are so cute and fun to make.
I think this is one of the best “Happy Friday” shares ever! Love this idea! 🙂
That was so awesome.
Love it! Totally doing this for my husband’s birthday next week! Thanks for sharing!
That is too cute!!!
That is awesome! I love the idea!! Thanks for sharing!!
This could be combined with an Ibotta deal to make it even cheaper. You could add some line about “junior” and use junior mints or the other candies that are massively cheap with Ibotta coupons.
Here’s my referral link if you are interested in the candy deals:
