<p style="font-weight: 400;">If you read my post on holiday drink boxes you already know I have a love hate relationship with Dollar Tree.<!--more--> However, with fun gift giving idea’s it is a great place to start.</p>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I enjoy giving people gifts that are thoughtful and not just more clutter, so food/snacks/special treats are always a good go to. This candy bouquet is a great way to create an easter basket, birthday “flowers” or even a Valentines gift. The occasions are endless and the variety of candy you can choose from make it perfect for a specific person.</span>[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text single_style=""]
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You start with four boxes (all the same size) to build a base and then fill it with all of their favorites. I went with beef jerky, candy, cookies, I was able to get everything at Dollar tree which also made it cost effective!</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In total this specific candy bouquet cost less than $20</p>
