How to make an easy candy sampler gift box.
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.
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.

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.
This is such an awesome idea with fun presentation to gift hubby or Dad’s favorite candies!
This is so cute! What a great and thoughtful gift idea!
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!

Who wouldn’t love a box of candy? Thank you for sharing at Party In Your PJ’s.
I LOVE this Alexandra! My husband is very difficult to buy for, but this is something he would really enjoy I think! It’s fun and different. Thanks for sharing it at Thursday Favorite Things!
