DO PEOPLE GIFT EACH OTHER ON HALLOWEEN?
October is one of my favorite months because of the fall leaves and Halloween! Our family has made some super fun traditions that my kids love to participate in. Although gift giving is associated more with Christmas, our family has actually tried serving and doing nice things for others all year round, and even around Halloween. People can always use a pick me up, right?
So, this year I decided to come up with a super cute Halloween Pop Box Gift. I’ve made them in the past for Valentines, Christmas and Birthdays, and they’ve alwas been a hit. Why not a Halloween version?! It can be given to your child’s teacher or just to a family who needs some extra cheer. It’s even great for the hubby!! This gift is easy and perfect for anyone.

It is certainly not expected to bring a cute halloween gift to your Halloween party host or hostess but can be a nice gesture if you have been invited over to a Halloween party!

HALLOWEEN GIFT IDEAS POP BOX INSTRUCTIONS
1. Begin by emptying your pop bottles and washing them out and letting them dry completelyFrom there you will paint your Pop Box. I spray painted mine black. Let dry.
2. From there you will fill your pop bottles with candy. I did Candy Corn, Indian Corn, Black & Orange Sixlets, Fall M&Ms, Black Licorice and Reeses Pieces.
3. From there you will print out your Halloween Pop Box Printables. To get the PDF click on the image above or go HERE.
4. Cut out all your printables.
5. From there you will cut out 6 pieces of scrapbook paper. I made mine about 3 inches by 9 inches. Wrap and tape around pop bottles. Add your pop bottles circles to the front of your bottles with tape or glue.
6. From there I added some ric rac and ribbon around the tops of the bottles. I also added the pumpkin heads to the tops of the bottles. Add your bottles back to the box and be sure to add your front printable to the box that says “No Tricks, Just Treats”.
Now you have super cute and easy Halloween Gift to give to anyone. I love to have my kids help me cut out the labels and glue them on to the bottles. Or if your kids are old enough this is a project they can do mostly on their own expect for the spray painting.
These make a super cute, easy and unique gift idea! A fun way to gift halloween treats to a party host, teacher, neighbor and more! They also make great halloween gifts to hand out as a halloween party favor too.
These halloween candy bottles would be fun to add to some larger halloween gift baskets if you want to give a halloween gift that is a little more involved for extra special occasions. You could add a fun Halloween t-shirt or hoodies, gift cards, some halloween decor, a clay ghost, some fun plastic spiders or a treat bag to go along with your halloween themed gift.

It is really cute huh? I think I am making one for the kids teachers this year. Thanks Kristyn for the fun idea!
You are so cool! I don’t think I’ve truly read anything like that before.
So nice to discover someone with a few original thoughts on this subject matter.
Seriously.. many thanks for starting this up.
This web site is something that is needed on the internet, someone with some
originality!
How did you get the caps back on? I’ve seen crafts like this before, but there is no way that I know of to get those caps back on. (I use the Starbucks frappacino bottles instead for that reason.)
If you carefully twist the caps off with a rag and pliers you can get them off undamaged which will allow you to be able to put them back on.
So cute iam going to use you idea for Halloween in three days
