I think we are always on the hunt for the perfect package for little treats.
Do you have a long list of people you want or need to give a little something to this holiday season? Even if you don’t have a long list, you are going to love this treat idea. It is sure to make people OH! and AH! over the simplest of gifts, any time of year.
There really is such a thing as “It’s the thought that counts!”, so why not let everyone know you are thinking of them, in a way that is affordable?
I have just the quick treat holder for you!
Did you know that if you purchased the Lolli-pop Along © Template, you have an entire new use of JUST the base template? Let me show you how.
I’m certain as the years pass, the list of people in our life grows, but our finances don’t! With 3 kids now in school-and some of the extra services they get, I like to acknowledge everyone who impacts my children’s lives. Like everyone else in the world, we are on a tight budget, so this year (like the past 3 or 4) I am mainly making gifts for all our family and friends.
I love gourmet chocolate, and it can make a really nice gift. You don’t need to spend a fortune on it either.
I whipped up 16 of these gifts, and it only cost me $1.20 each!
I went the the Lindt Chocolate store and purchased 2 large bags of truffles (48 in each bag). Regular price $12. But if you purchase 2 bags they were on Sale for $10. So I purchased 2. That is 96 truffles for $20. Which means they are 0.20 cents per truffle.
My little treat holder, holds 6, so I was able to get 16 gifts, for a mere $20 purchase. That means I spent $1.20 for each gift!!
Side view-
I want people to know I appreciate all they do, but not break the bank doing it. I think I accomplished that this year, for much cheaper than I normally do, and without having to bake a thing!
Also consider that many people have “food issue’s”. Meaning people are a bit leery of food prepared from someone’s home. They have no idea how clean your kitchen is! Packaged items are always a great way to go, and if they hate these truffles a re-gift is definitely OK.
So lets get started shall we?
Print Lollipop Along ©base on white cardstock.
Cut and score bottom as directed.
At end panels, score at 1/2 inch from edge. (As seen in photo)
Then stamp sentiment from Snowfall Additions in right corner in Spring Rain Ink
Use long rectangle nestability (or a ruler) to trace a rectangle window, on front panel.
Use a hobby blade to cut out window.
Stamp a piece of acetate, in white StazOn with snowflake cluster from Snowfall set. While wet, sprinkle on glitter of choice.
Adhere window to inside of holiday-Lollipop Along © window
Then put sides of box base together.
Photo of -Window in place, box together
Now add a little white bag filler for “snow”. Then fill the box.
Now inside this box you can easily fit 6 Lindt Chocolate Truffles!
The snowman ones are milk chocolate, with white chocolate centers! YUM!
Make sure you have the snowmen turned to the front of the window.
It’s a perfect treat to let someone know you are thinking of them this winter season. Plus its easy on the wallet!
Now for the tag-
You want to use the snowflake punch , and punch a shape from Spring Rain cardstock.
Stamp the snowflake image onto punched snowflake using the Glue Pad, then sprinkle on glitter.
Now layer a smaller punched snowflake from vellum cardstock (mine is Martha Stewart), and add a bling sticker to the center.
Then punch a hole in one corner of the snowflake, and string it through your tied ribbon.
Isn’t it the perfect little tag?
Everything is better with a little bling.
So there you have another treat idea using My Timeless Templates ©! There is still time to make those last minute gifts 😀
After Christmas I plan on sharing my Valentine’s version of this idea 😀
Thank you for checking in ♥

I love this and those chocolates are so cute. Perfect packaging to showcase that.
I could actually do this! LOL Thanks for all of your great ideas. Hey quick question, the Mitch Gaylord tapes, is the only way to buy them is through his website? The shipping seemed super high.
Adorable…like that’s a big surprise 😉
Thanks for sharing!
Can I just say…you never cease to amaze me! I have used your stocking and your desk set templates this week for holiday gifts. If you’d like to take a peek just visit my blog! :o)
This is a great gift idea Lauren & so pretty! Thanks for sharing!!! Wishing you & your family a Merry Christmas!
LOVE IT!!!!! Once again you made me say Wow, that girl is talented. All your creations look like you bought them at a fancy gift shop. Who knew that it only cost you $1.20 to make. I agree with you. It is the thought that counts. When someone goes out of there way and makes me a gift I am elated! They took time out to think of me. That is worth more than anything in my book.
Merry Christmas!
I will be making two of these tomorrow morning. I forgot about the two ladies at the front desk from my little guys pre-school. This is perfect.
Off to buy this template. I have every other template of yours. I thought I could do without this one and then BAM! You show me this. HA!
Hi Lauren!
I love this gift, and the tutorial. You are totally to stinking creative girl!!!!
I also love that you have trouble mailing out stuff too!!! My neighbor and I always have such a hard time getting stuff mailed!!! We can get it created, but have a real hard time getting it out to the person we created it for!!!
It is so nice to know there is someone else out there with the same problem!!!
Well after several weeks of not being able to play along, I finally got time to do your sketch this week!!! I know I know it is almost a week after the sketch, but I did get it done, and it helped me make all these really cute gift sets for the Teachers this week. I made Gingerbread House gift sets!!!
Thanks for the inspiration, it made making the cards for the sets sooooo much easier to work off of the sketch!!!!
I promised myself your Saturday Sketch was one thing I was going to do every week, and since before Thanksgiving I have hardly been able to do any challenges or really many projects!!! I am in major withdrawls!!!!!
Luv Ya Lauren, and Luv your blog!!!!

Hi Lauren

Thanks

Super cute Lauren, love the glittered snowflake…great way to add some sparkle!
Hi Lauren! This is probably my most favorite of your templates so far – sooo versatile and darling, not to mention spectacularly clever!! Your brain must really hurt by the time you figure these templates out – I know MINE would!! LOL I’m off to buy this one, missy – just fabulous!!
Anyone that would regift Lindt truffles is a NUT! LOL LOL
Your package, and idea is AWESOME! You did a GREAT job making wonderful gifts, and at a fantastic price!!!!!!! You never cease to amaze me. Thanks for the great idea, too!!!
HUGS to you ALL!!!! 😀
It’s so cute Lauren! You know without the acetate on the side it looks like a little house!
this rocks….i just love it and all of your ideas…..running over to get this template so i can replicate your ideas….thanks so much …. happy holidays to you and your family…
So cute, Lauren!
What a wonderful presentation and gift for such a small amount of money! So creative!
This is so cute!!!! I posted my first project with your templates yesterday! I used stocking stuffer for my son’s pre-school teacher!
Lauren you out did your self once again. I love this box it is so cute! Personally I think those cute little candies are the BEST! I hate to admit I am one of those people with food issues. When you work in an elementary school you start to develop these little issues, especially when you are the health assistant.
wow! This is FANTASTIC! LOVE this cute gift idea! Thanks so much!
:>
OOh! AAH! What a wonderful gift. I am with you in the presentation of any gift. Truly created with love to share with others. Thank you again for your wonderful templates and your most practical application in using them. YOU ARE A GIFT! Thank you for sharing!
This is such an adorable gift! I’m headed to PTI to purchase the template now. I’ll have to be watching out for something fun to put inside for Valentine’s Day.
Merry Christmas!
Perfect.
Your boxes always amaze me. This is no exception–it’s OH SO CUTE and perfect for your goodies. I came across your stocking boxes yesterday and have made 5 of them so far!! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!! I even made one HUGE to fit a beaded ornament in for my mom. If you get time, maybe you could pop by and see them? 🙂 Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS Lauren!!xx
I guess I have been under a rock, because I have never seen these templates before. I MUST have them! I guess I will show my ignorance by asking this question but…..where do I purchase these? I can’t LIVE without them! HA! LOL!
Can’t wait to find out so I can purchase them ASAP!
Thanks!
Kim
I was really touched by your dau.’s story. I really liked the stamps your friend designed. I’ve been d/abled w/ post-Polio for 22 yrs. We need to be recognized as having abilities not for our d/abilties. Thanks for sharing your story.
I have a FlickR @[email protected]. My cards are on their. They are my sanity valve in my life. I’ll be checking your site for ideas.
Lauren, that is beautiful!
WOW!
So inspirational…. I need a FAST gift today so I purchased, downloaded and printed one of the MTT favor boxes. LOVE IT…… BUT,,,,,,,, I am so not liking the quality of Stampin’ Up! cardstock. My printer won’t run PTI w/o jamming. Guess that calls for a new printer!!!!!!
[…] of what you can do with the base template from the Lolli-pop Along ©. You may remember —>THIS POST. I told you that you could also switch it up to be for Valentines […]
