Simply put the colorful candies in a mason jar. You must be having a spare or old one in your kitchen’s cabinet. Don’t you? So, just find one and put the lovely looking candies inside of it. The transparency of mason jar makes the candies visible which gives the gift an adorable look. However, give it a finishing touch by tying a knot with striped ribbon or pasting a holly on it. In case you don’t have a mason jar, even a baby food jar, candy jar or a jam jar can serve this purpose. In fact, such packaging materials will not even burn a hole in your pocket. All in all, it is a pocket-friendly yet appealing approach to make your special person happy this festive season.
- Hunt for Easter-Themed Gift Boxes

Little pouches made with cardboard looks really pretty and can be winning when adorned in the right manner. You can easily find them in any craft store. On the flip side, you can even make them on your own by having cardboard, scissors and an adhesive. In order to make them more attention-grabbing, embellish them with colored tapes, ribbons or tags.
