You can give candy as a stylish gift in an empty jam jar. Look through your yarn basket for scraps in Christmas colors, crochet the lid, and decorate it with a hand-crocheted Santa figure. You can also add an extra little surprise to the bag—a greeting card with a few kind words or maybe even a small bill. Once the candy is gone, you can fill the jar with an LED string of lights to create a festive Christmas decoration.

The little ghost was crocheted around an empty Kinder Surprise egg shell. The best part: it glows in the dark! The glow-in-the-dark yarn is white in daylight. If you “charge” it for a while by shining a lamp on it, it begins to glow greenish in the dark. You can hide a piece of candy or another little surprise inside the ghost. It’s a little gift that all kids will love.

And here’s another figure from my
Kinder Surprise collection: a drake that can lay chocolate eggs 😆. For the duckling, all you need are a few scraps of yarn in green, brown, beige, orange, white, and blue—and, of course, a surprise egg! And what will you put inside your duck’s belly?
