1. “Mistle-Toes” Cozy Sock Pedicure Gift
Spoil your girlfriends, teens, teachers, and anyone else who would enjoy a little extra pampering with cozy socks and pedicure supplies. Keep your eyes open for the Kiss brand Gel nail polish (typically priced much higher than $1 at other stores), as I was able to snag mine at Dollar Tree!
Supplies needed:
- plush socks
- mini nail care kit
- foot file
- nail polish
- ribbon
- “Mistel-Toes” gift tag — get the FREE printable!
Directions:
- Stack the nail care kit, foot file, and then nail polish on top of the sock. Use clear packing tape to make sure each item is securely taped to each other.
- Tie a piece of ribbon tightly around the sock and nail polish.
- Print the “Mistel-Toes” gift tags, cut them out, and attach the tag to the bottom of the foot file using tape.
2. Baking Supplies “Baking Spirits Bright” Gift
Prepare for holiday baking! Dollar Tree always has a nice selection of baking supplies, pot holders, and oven mitts to choose from, including festive holiday styles. I found these adorable gingerbread-themed sets in-store at my local Dollar Tree and paired them with some measuring spoons and cookie cutters for a fun holiday gift!
Supplies needed:
- 1 oven mitt and 1 pot holder
- measuring spoons
- cookie cutter (available in-store only)

Directions:
- Thread the ribbon through the measuring spoons and cookie cutter and tie all the items together.

3. Santa Candy Cane Sleigh
Glue candy in the shape of Santa and his sleigh as an adorable holiday treat! This is a fun project for kids to put together for their friends. Dollar Tree has a large selection of Christmas candy and you can even re-purpose any leftover Halloween candy for this idea, too!
Supplies needed for one:
- 2 candy canes (available in-store only)
- 1 Kit Kat bar or similarly shaped candy
- 2 individual-sized Hershey’s bars or similarly shaped candy
- 1 small wrapped chocolate Santa (available in-store only)
- 3 Rolos or similar shaped small wrapped candy
- small bottle brush tree (available in-store only)
- ribbon
- hot glue or tape
Directions:
- Glue the Kit Kat to the top of 2 candy canes. Make sure the candy canes have the curve shape facing up, like a sleigh.
- Glue the 2 Hershey’s bars to the top back of “sleigh”.
- Glue the Santa towards the front of the sleigh and the Rolos on the back as the “presents”.
- Glue a small bottle brush tree to the back and tie the sleigh together using ribbon or twine.

The sleighs are adorable! Do the candies/chocolates melt when you hot glue them together?
no – you just need a tiny dab of hot glue.
I love the sleigh idea 😊 We’re you able to find all of the santa sleigh items at dollar tree when you made this?
At the time I wrote this Dollar Tree didn’t have their Christmas candy out, but I saw chocolate Santas the other day, so most of it should be available there 👍
