Gift for Him: Dollar Store Candy Sampler Gift Box

May 18, 2021

How to make an easy candy sampler gift box.

Candy Sampler Gift Box On Rockwood Lane

Welcome to the May Pinterest Challenge! The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate us to not just pin, but to make it happen!

This month’s challenge is Father’s Day.

Candy Sampler Gift Box On Rockwood Lane

I’m sharing a sampler candy box that I made my husband for his birthday a couple years ago. It would also be a great birthday gift, graduation gift, and so much more!

My inspiration comes from the Father’s Day Candy Tackle Box from Coffee, Pancakes and Dreams. I also really like this fishing one on Pinterest.

You can find more great gift ideas for him in my Seasonal: Father’s Day board.

Let’s Make a Candy Sampler Gift Box!

I used one of my plastic storage boxes that I got at JoAnn’s for my beads, like this 10 slot one from CharmsAlotJewelry on Etsy, but mine has 20 slots.

I just emptied it out, and told him I needed it back when he was finished with the candy – haha!

Then, I took a trip over to my local Dollar Tree, and picked up different candy packages of his favorites. One thing I will recommend is to measure the size of the slots because I didn’t, and ended up buying too much candy – though, is there really such a thing?

And I just started plugging in candy here and there. My husband likes pickles, so I thought this pickle card was fitting.

    This is such a fun idea! My husband has such a sweet tooth, and a sampler gift box would win me a lot of brownie points, haha.

    Yum! We did something similar one year making it look like a tackle box and filling it with Swedish fish, gummy worms, etc. so that everything looked like lures and bait for our fisherman. We’re traveling this Father’s day and I’ve been trying to think of a fun surprise for him on the road– I may have to work on putting something like this together with all his favorite road side snacks! Pinned.

      The tackle box and corresponding snacks is such a great idea! My husband needs a new tackle box. Perhaps I will do something like this again for his birthday with the different snacks and goodies inside – definitely some Goldfish!

    What a fun and creative idea! My son would love this. School is almost out for us and this would be like a dream come true with all of the candies for his last day of class!

    That’s such a cute idea. I have a bunch of flat card boxes – you know the kind that you keep because as an adult you come to appreciate a ‘good sturdy box’ . I could repurpose one of them for an idea like this, create some simple card dividers maybe. My brother’s birthday is coming up and he’s impossible to buy for normally! Thanks πŸ™‚

      That’s an awesome idea! You are so creative – I would mostly likely just wrap it up in a pretty paper. Haha! But I love that idea. I have a few of those boxes you speak of.

      It definitely is fun and different, and you can fill it with so many different things, especially if your container has the removable dividers to open the spaces up.

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind On Rockwood Lane and EyeLoveKnots! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden orΒ re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.

When I received this black Ouges brand top in my September Amazon Wardrobe box, I was pretty happy. I have a similar top that I received in an earlier box that is the same brand, and I love the fit of it. I think the raglan style gives me a sort of confidence. I am a 42β€³ bust wearing the size Medium. There are several other colors available too!

It's lip balm season, and these lip balm holders are excellent! They come on a swivel hook that can be attached anywhere for easy access, and to make sure you don't lost your lip balm at the bottom of your bag. I personally have one of these. The quality is great, and Candace is lovely to work with! PLUS they come in 11 colors!
