I wanted to get a little something, to give the girls in my Girl Scout troop, for Easter. Not much. Just a little something to let them know I was thinking about them.
I have 10 girls and so I have find things that are super cheap or it can start to add up to a lot of money by the end of the year.
I headed out to the Dollar Tree. I found these cute little chocolate bunnies. They are sold chocolate. YUM!
I knew right away what I was going to do with them to make them look a little less "Dollar Tree" looking.
I had some clear bags at home and also some little purple flowers and ribbon.
So, I took the bunnies out of the boxes, put them in the bags, added some pretty pastel M&M's that were on sale at Rite Aid. I got two bags for the price of one. Gotta love a sale!
The M&M's added a little more color...and chocolate. I wanted the bunny to be the star of the gift so I put most of the M&M's in back of the bunny. That way, his carrots were still able to be seen.
I love the little flowers and think they add a little pop of color and what little girl doesn't love flowers?
So, for just a little bit over $1.00 each, I have my Easter presents for my girls. I think they look cute and no one would know these were purchased from The Dollar Tree.
I really like taking things out of their original package and putting it in a cello bag with ribbon and flowers. It always makes the gift look a little nicer and it costs only pennies to do.
