Christmas is here and I wanted to share a fun tutorial for easy and inexpensive DIY Christmas gift baskets for your friends and loved ones.

Earlier this year, I made a bunch of scented pine cone fire starters — and I wanted a unique way to give them out as gifts for the Christmas season.

I found a unique way to give my homemade pine cone fire starters as gifts for the Christmas season.

These S’more Christmas Cheer baskets are ideal for the backyard fire lover… and as a last-minute surprise gift exchange!

We also made a bunch of these gift baskets to give to the teachers at my son’s Parents Day Out program — because they have always been so creative sending my son home with his very own handmade crafts.

 

My Gift Card For These DIY Gift Baskets

I created a little Christmas Cheer poem to go inside each card that I attached to each gift basket.

Here’s what it says:

⭐️S’more Christmas Cheer⭐️

Invite over some friends and light the wick…

These scented pine cones will start a fire🔥 quick!

Roast the marshmallow to a gooey sweet,

And nestle between the chocolate treat.

Wishing you S’more laughter and cheer…

Merry Christmas🎄and Happy New Year!

With Love❤️, from the Jaggers

 

Materials Needed For DIY Christmas Gift Baskets

These are some of the items I used to create these holiday gift baskets. (Most are from dollar stores.)

Here’s a list of the supplies I used to create these holiday gift baskets. Many are inexpensive from Dollar stores:

  • Computer (I used font variations from the Microsoft Word program)
  • Color printer
  • Tri-fold Christmas cards
  • Christmas foam stickers
  • Cellophane gift wrap
  • Christmas ribbons
  • Scented pine cone fire starters (I made my own)
  • Large marshmallows
  • Chocolate covered graham cookies
  • Christmas boxes, trays, bowls, tins, etc.
  • Regular scissors and decorative edge scissors
  • Glue stick
  • Cellophane loot bags (the perfect size for the pine cones)

 

How To Make These Holiday Gift Baskets

See the steps I used to create these Christmas gift baskets.

These are the steps I used to create my S’more Christmas Cheer Baskets this year:

  1. First, determine how many Christmas gift baskets you want to make.
  2. Then, purchase and gather all of the materials mentioned above.
  3. Print out the Christmas Cheer poem in a neat font. (I chose to use computer fonts because I do not have neat writing, nor did I want to write out the entire S’more Cheer poem for every card.)
  4. Cut out the Christmas Cheer poem from your printed copies, then glue one onto each tri-fold Christmas card.
  5. Put the Christmas cards into their envelopes, then glue a generic “S’more Christmas Cheer” message on the front of each envelope.
  6. Place 3 pinecone fire starters into their own cellophane loot bag.
  7. Place 1 bag of chocolate-covered graham cookies, 1 bag of marshmallows, and 1 bag of pine cones onto a Christmas tray, box, or platter.
  8. Place a completed Christmas basket in the center of the cellophane gift wrap, then cut the right amount off the roll for each one.
  9. Cut some ribbon — to tie the corners of the cellophane wrap together for each gift basket.
  10. Use Christmas-themed foam stickers to secure the tri-fold Christmas card and envelope onto the front of each cellophane-wrapped gift basket.

I used Christmas-themed foam stickers to secure the card and envelope onto the front of each cellophane-wrapped gift basket.

 

The Bottom Line…

I really enjoyed making these fun and simple Christmas gift baskets.

Although not everyone has a fireplace or a fire pit, the pine cones are still festive — because they’re scented and decorative. Chocolate covered graham cookies and marshmallows are a fun snack anytime, even if they can’t be roasted over a fire as intended.

Overall, these DIY gift baskets cost less than $8 to make (if you make the pine cone fire starters yourself).

I hope you’ve enjoyed this holiday gift basket tutorial.

Merry Christmas!

I’m a first-time mom. I work from home and write — mostly about my outdoor adventures, DIY projects, newly discovered products, and helpful tips as a first-time mom. I also like to share details about the alternative choices I’m exploring, as I enjoy this journey called motherhood. My family includes a toddler, 2 stepchildren, 1 dog, 1 cat, and a wonderful husband. My pre-pregnancy life was full of freedom and adventure, so I have a fresh new perspective when it comes to walking away from a career to become a full time stay at home Mama.

About Me

AvatarIf there is ONE thing I like... it's C H A N G E! The four seasons and major holidays are my favorite times of the year to recharge -- and redecorate. I mostly like to share frugal DIY ideas for seasonal home decorating and party planning (for both, indoors and outside). Because who doesn't enjoy entertaining at home?! But even if you don't host many parties, I think you'll appreciate my DIY hacks and clever ways to decorate your house for the major holidays including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Because those are the times when people tend to have the most visitors and overnight houseguests.
