A gift in the form of sweets for a sweet tooth is always welcome and suitable for any occasion.
And if you connect your imagination and come up with an unusual way of giving, then such a gift will become a real surprise. Let's consider some original ideas.
Gift wrapping
Children are looking forward to sweet New Year gifts with special impatience. But in addition to the long-awaited goodies, parents should pay special attention to gift wrapping, because kids want to receive something very unusual, fabulous and beautiful for the holiday. You can use traditional ideas - filling a Christmas stocking with sweets, wrapping candies in a soft toy or in a brightly decorated magic box from Santa Claus ... Adults can order such gifts in times of shortage on special Internet sites.
It is even better to make a wrapping for a sweet gift with your own hands, especially since it is very simple and entertaining. Made with love, original homemade candy can please not only children, but also adults.
Bouquet of sweets for the New Year
This is one of the most popular and easy-to-make gifts. You need to take a flowerpot, a beautiful small pot or any other low container that you can decorate if you want. Put a piece of foam rubber inside the container, which will serve as the basis for the bouquet. Insert fir branches, cones, artificial flowers between the foam rubber and the walls of the container. After that, take sweets - preferably large, in bright multi-colored candy wrappers, put them on wooden skewers for barbecue or attach with threads, tape.
Each candy must first be wrapped in a beautiful wrapping paper, for example, like flower buds - the paper tightly wraps around the bottom of the candy, while its upper part remains open. Thus, each skewer will be decorated with a cone or bag. Fasten the skewers with sweets in the foam rubber laid on the bottom of the pot. Fill the space between the skewers with cotton wool, small coniferous twigs, colored dragee, cones, serpentine, miniature Christmas balls. Wrap the pot in nice paper. Decorate the top with a small amount of confetti and serpentine. The New Year's bouquet is ready!
Here are some options for decorating such a bouquet.
Herringbone.
To do this, you need to glue a cone made of thick cardboard. Close the bottom of the cone with a tight circle. Place the Christmas tree on the base or make a loop for hanging it. Paint the cone in the colors of the candy wrappers that will be used for the gift. After the paint has dried, glue the candy wrappers to the cone through double-sided tape. The candies should be fastened row by row, moving from the very bottom of the cone upward. Decorate the top of the cone with a star made of foil, and decorate the Christmas tree itself with rain and tinsel. The Christmas tree made of candies is ready! 
It is somewhat more difficult to make a topiary.
To do this, prepare a miniature container, such as a small flower pot. Next, make a base ball that can be rolled out of newspapers, then wrap with threads and cover with PVA glue. After the glue is completely dry, it should become dense and hard. For convenience, you can cut a ball out of foam rubber or buy a plastic ball at a children's store. Then you should make a stick-barrel. For this role, a branch, a plastic tube, a "pigtail" made of thick wire, a wooden rail are suitable. Make a hole in the ball and put it on the barrel. Use superglue or plasticine to fix the ball to the barrel. The next step is attaching the candy to the ball. If the ball is soft (made of polystyrene or foam rubber), it is enough to stick the candy into it using skewers or toothpicks. Candy can be glued with double-sided tape. Next, you should decorate the trunk. To do this, it must be painted or wrapped with colored thread, Christmas tree tinsel or braid. Fix the tree in a container with plaster or plasticine. After that, fill the pot with sweets. The topiary is ready!

Santa Claus cardboard sleigh: step by step
To create a craft, such materials and tools are useful: multi-colored thick cardboard, foil, scissors, paint, glue and various decorative elements.
First, you need to cut out the parts, from which the child will later assemble the sleigh of Santa Claus. The template for such a craft in most cases has a standard look.
They make two identical parts from blue and white cardboard and glue them together. After that, the paper blank is bent along the marked lines and the sled is glued together.
The craft can be decorated with foil. From it you just need to cut out two parts in the shape of the sidewalls, only a little less, and glue them to the base on the sides. You can decorate the sled with paints, stickers in the form of snowflakes, etc.
Such a sled is not the limit, a beautiful fruit stand can be made using thick cardboard, corrugated paper and padding polyester.
First you need to find a suitable template, circle it on cardboard and cut out two parts. Corrugated paper should be glued to one of the copies and the excess should be cut along the contour. In the same way, two parts are pasted on both sides.
The next step is to cut out the bottom of the sled. A rectangle of the desired width is cut out of the cardboard, adding a centimeter on each side for indentation. The part is bent, dividing it into three parts: the base of the sled and two backs (small and large). The indents also need to be bent, greased with glue and glued to the side parts.
Two strips should be cut out of padding polyester and glued on the sides, imitating snow and covering the non-glued edges of the cardboard. Wait until the sled is dry and fill it with sweets or fruits.

Step-by-step execution instructions
Following the instructions, Santa Claus's sweet sleigh can be made quickly and without any problems.
- The first step is to create the base of the sled. To do this, a large chocolate bar is glued to the caramel canes with a glue gun. It should be noted that very little glue is used in this work.
- Four flat candies are glued on top of the chocolate in a row.
- The next layer will already consist of three candies.
- Next, you need to glue two more candies on top. The resulting "pyramid" ends with one candy. To make the sleigh neat and beautiful, you need to select candies of the same size, while the wrappers should be bright and varied.

Making them is not difficult, the work will take little time, but the effect will be irresistible and will surprise everyone.

With the onset of New Year's holidays, all families, without exception, begin the All Relatives marathon, well, this is when visiting everyone, even very distant relatives, is simply a must. But it is not customary to go to visit empty-handed, and even more so if there are children in the house. And no matter how old the baby is - 2 or 15 years old, any child will be happy with the gift.
From my side, there are not so many children in families, but from my spouse’s side it’s just a Klondike. Only one cousin has four at once rush out to meet us with gifts. And so I thought: the price for a ready-made candy set in the store is quite high, but where is the guarantee that the candies in it will be fresh and tasty. Therefore, it remains for me to collect a gift from the box sweets myself, putting everything in a funny bag with a Christmas tree.
This year, an idea came to my mind, quite bright, but what if I collect an interesting gift and even save a little. Break a ton of paperwork online, I figured out how to make a Christmas sleigh out of candy. For me, it is fast and very interesting, I will try to do it myself and I suggest you please your loved ones.
We need to stock up on the following sweets:
- Long roll-up lollipops
- Big and flat chocolate bar
- Small flat candies
- Medium Chocolate Santa Clauses
- Beautiful wide ribbon for decoration
- Gift bow
- Double-sided adhesive tape or glue gun
A little tip: the amount of ingredients for a gift is determined by eye, so you need to try to collect 1 sled and proceed from it.
So, we open at home a factory for the production of sweet gifts:
We take the lollipops and set them in the form of sleigh runners, on top of them we glue a large and flat chocolate bar.
Lay 1 layer of flat candies on top of the chocolate
On top of the gaps between 1 layer of sweets we lay 2 layer - it will be much smaller
We build the third layer of flat candies, about there you get two pieces
Put one flat candy across 3 layers
Take a wide ribbon and carefully thread it through the front and back of our sleigh, then do the same from the sides of the sleigh. At the very top and bottom, the tapes are carefully glued.
We put a bow on the glue on the top of the sleigh, and so that you can see who came to visit - a chocolate Santa Claus is put on the hood of our New Year's sleigh.
