Last minute gift idea
Monday, December 21, 2009 at 10:03PM 
Short on cash and time? Need a last minute hostess gift for the fifth holiday party you've been invited to this year? No worries! Just hit your local grocery store, pick up a few items and you'll be on your way to creating this very easy DIY S'mores Kit that's sure to be a hit with kids of all ages!
You'll need:
- 1 box of graham crackers
- 1 bag of marshmallows
- 1 big chocolate bar of your choice
- bbq wooden skewers (optional)

Supplies:
- Cellophane bags, Michaels or Party City
- Glassine bags or parchment or wax paper
- Baker's twine, nicepackage.com
- glue stick or double-sided tape
- large round punch or any object that you can trace to make a 2" circle
- pens/markers
This kit includes 9 marshmallow pieces, 1/2 bar of hazelnut chocolate and 1/2 bar of milk chocolate, 9 large pieces of graham crackers and 9 wooden skewers.

We used a mixture of cellophane and glassine bags to repackage all of the items. If you can't get your hands on glassine bags, you may also use parchment paper or wax paper to create a protective sleeve/band for the chocolates. The crackers I purchased came with two ready-packed bundles!


The labels are simply punched out of kraft paper using a 2-inch circular punch, embellished with a red dotted border (super fine red sharpie) then attached to the packaged goods using a glue-stick.

Enjoy!

P.S. If you will be giving a similar gift (using repackaged food) it is best to include a list of the ingredients for those who may suffer from allergies, or to save the wrappers in case they are needed.

Major cute! That is so much better than those flashy, dork-tastic American grocery packages. Great project!
my Mom is addicted to smores. She will love this great little diy kit. Thanks for the idea!
Love this idea!! I always make and give chocolate truffles, which turns out to be a ton of work, when you're making batches of 60 at a time.
This would be perfect for the kids in the group.
So, so much more beautiful
I love this idea... I've actually been thinking about doing a smores kit as a wedding favor.
Easy and beautiful! I love it !:)
presentation is everything and you ladies are so very talented at the art of presentation! lovely
I love it! Beautiful and practical. As I read through the instructions, all I could think of was how happy my niece and nephews would be to open this up if I gave the kits to their families!
Simple & beautiful!
