OK so yesterday's post was all about the Business Traveller's last minute gift...today we are switching gears to The Sweet Tooth's Last Minute Gift. Like yesterday's PTY ( Put Together Yourself) gift this one can be assembled with easily attainable items with little effort and a little help from your kids,  perfect for today's busy parent.

Where you need to go :

Grocery Store -  Candy aisle and  food storage aisle.

What you need to get :

In the food storage aisle grab some small mason jars used for canning.

What you need to fill it with :

Get the family size bags of candy and fill the jars. Put the filled jars back in the box they came in ( usually 3, 6 or 9 jars per box) and wrap. YOur kids can help by sorting the candies, measuring the amounts and filling the jars. Just watch for little hands eating all the gifts!

Bonus:

Toothbrush and floss tied to the gift tag as a tease about what's inside.
