An Easy and Practical DIY Holiday Gift for Neighbors

Looking for a quick and easy holiday gift for your neighbors that is practical and affordable?

Here’s an idea for you!

Fill a holiday-print oven mitt with candies, and other festive finds. Everyone likes a seasonal oven mitt to brighten up their kitchen for the holidays. Add a practical gift of beverage napkins, some sweet treats, and a holiday scented candle to bring good cheer!

Oven Mitt “Gift Bag” Filled with Fun Finds

What You Need:

  • Holiday Print Oven Mitt
  • Holiday Bell Door Knob Hanger
  • Holiday Beverage Napkins
  • Holiday Candy in a Box
  • Holiday Peppermint Stripe Candies
  • Holiday Hot Cocoa Packets
  • Holiday Scented Candle
  • Gift Tag
What You Do:
  1. Sew a holiday bell door knob hanger onto the oven mitt to embellish your “gift bag”. If you can’t find a door knob hanger, a festive holiday ornament would also work.
  2. Tuck several peppermint stripe candies into the thumb of the oven mitt, then fill in the fingertip area of the oven mitt with more candies. I wrapped candies in fun holiday zip-top bags.
  3. Since an entire box of hot cocoa packets isn’t going to fit inside the oven mitt, place the packets into holiday zip-top bags, then tuck the bags into the oven mitt.
  4. Wrap a small votive candle and slip that into the oven mitt.
  5. Top off with a box of holiday candy and a package of seasonal napkins. I slipped a retro Fortune Telling Fish in the oven mitt as well.
  6. Tie a gift tag to the oven mitt hanger, and you have a fun gift to give!

I put together a bunch of these gifts and hung them in our kitchen on the cabinet handles. I’ll take them down as neighbors stop by to present them with their gift.
