This weeks Thrifty Gift Friday are these cute containers or treat bags filled with chocolate kisses with a holiday poem attached.They are the perfect super easy, no stress gift tfor giving away to teachers, co-workers, neighbors, or sunday school classes.
Back in August during back to school sales I picked up these small pencil cases for less than 50 cents each, in anticipation of using them for filling with cute holiday treats to give away.
Jan's Tip: Celebrate Chanukah? (or have a friend/co-worker that does?)
Or need a non-religious poem?
see my alternate poems at the bottom of the post for ideas!
Do you want to make a lot of small treats?
Just use less kisses (one of each color/kind in the poem) in small cellophane treat bags and attach the poem as a package topper:
The color of the Kisses wrappers correspond with the colors in the poem:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
The world is in need of “KISSES” the whole year through.
So here’s a little sampler with notes on what you can do.
The spirit of Christmas is MINT to be shared throughout the year.
CHERRY CORDIAL means this year to be more cheery and cordial to all you meet.
RED, GOLD, & GREEN are the colors the season rings, which stands for Compassion, Joy, and Charity which we should give no matter what life brings.
Purple is a special color of royalty to remind us to make everyone feel special as we are all Children of God.
Just as the world needs kisses, make sure to share “HUGS” too.
And in this season, remember in your heart and in your mind, of what the Savior did for you and for “Almond” kind too!
PRINTABLE POEM: LARGE SIZE

Long ago the little oil burned
and for eight days there was light
To commemorate the miracle of oil
I give you these kisses shiny and bright
Happy Chanukah!

Of miracles and happiness,

I give you these eight kisses,
One for every day!

Grinch Kisses
The Grinch was mean and stingy
He never wanted to share
Til a little Who in Whoville
Taught him how to care
Now the Grinch is filled with love
And sends Grinch Kisses to you
He hopes you have a Merry Holiday
And a Happy New Year too!
Gingerbread man:
The Gingerbread man is very fast,
Very fast indeed,
But he did stop long enough,
To share some Christmas glee!

In hopes you will enjoy,
And wishes Merry Christmas,
To every girl and boy!

Frosty is full of magic,
Full of love and joy,
And wants to share his happiness,
With every girl and boy.
He sends out these sweet kisses,
In hopes that you will find,
The Christmas Joy this holiday,
And not be left behind.
Alternate Frosty version compliments of SallyIndy:
Frosty is full of magic,
laughter, giggles and fun
And wants to share his happiness,
With just about everyone

Angels:
Angels led the shepards,
To the promised one,
Sang to all his glory,
Gave hope to everyone.
They send you these sweet kisses,
Full of Hope and Love,
To remind you that this season,
Is about God's only son.
ANGEL KISSES
I saw an angel flying by granting Christmas wishes
And I thought you could use some of these angel kisses.
Angel kisses have God's blessing and the special power to
cheer you up and make you smile when you're feeling blue.
Just one angel kiss will make your troubles disappear,
and suddenly everything will become crystal clear.
Just reach right in the bag to receive your angel kiss,
and soon you'll feel a sense of warmth and happiness.
