Thank You Gifts Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the Thank You Gifts Blog Hop hosted by http://www.joyslife.com/ - you are in for a real treat today and welcome to CJToo's blog.  This blog hop is all about making Thank You gifts for those who may be overlooked and need some holiday cheer.  If you arrived from Theresa's blog you are on the right trail - if you're starting here you can see a complete list of blogs participating in the Blog Hop below.  :)

In this season we get in such a hurry and forget about "this" person or "that" person or really need a little inspiration to make some treats in a hurry.  Here are 3 ideas I have for you today and I really think these turned out adorable. 

I found these packages of tags at Hobby Lobby in the gift wrapping aisle.  You get anywhere between 10 plus tags in a package - perfect for the base of my Thank You card for my treats.  It already has the To: & From: on the card and all you have to do is fill in your name or your child's name. 





The red/white stripe tags have the most adorable scalloped square on pop dots and perfect to create some goodie bags with Hershey's candy tied with curly ribbon and jingle bells.

The Merry Christmas tags with Santa is the perfect size to attach a candy cane.  Just punch 2 holes big enough to slide a candy cane into.  These tags are super duper cute and don't need anything but your name to say who it's from. 

The last one is my Santa Peppermint Treats using plastic punch cups and some other "stuff" (see supply list below along with instructions). 

You could put any of these treats together in little time flat!  I hope it gives you some inspiration to share and say THANK YOU to lots of lovable people who take care of you or  your family.
