If you’re looking for a playful, inexpensive holiday favor or gift, this Reindeer Poop treat idea is perfect. It’s simple to assemble and fun for kids to give. I’ve created printable bag toppers to make packaging quick and affordable. My children enjoy making small holiday gifts for friends, and last year’s Reindeer Hot Chocolate gifts were a big hit. This year we wanted something different, so we tried this Reindeer Poop concept — and it was a winner.
Reindeer Poop
My kids have a great sense of humor, so they loved making these silly treats. My teen son laughed so much that the moment was priceless — a reminder that simple, lighthearted projects can bring a lot of joy. These Reindeer Poop bags are ideal for classroom exchanges, stocking stuffers, or as a cheeky adult gag gift.
The treats are quick to assemble and budget-friendly. I buy clear cello bags at discount stores for a dollar or less. You can find similar party favor bags where gift wrap and party supplies are sold. I used Whoppers candy that I picked up in small boxes, but you can substitute any round chocolate or malted milk candies to achieve the same look.
Ingredients
10 oz Whoppers (or similar round chocolate candy)
4 clear party favor or sandwich bags
Printable topper labels (print on cardstock for best results)
Directions
1. Print the topper labels on sturdy paper or cardstock and trim. Leave a small unprinted white strip at the top so the topper can fold over the bag.
2. Fill each clear bag with about 2 1/2 ounces of candy (roughly a small handful).
3. Fold the topper over the bag opening and secure by stapling through the topper and the bag. Alternatively, use double-sided tape or a small hole punch and tie with ribbon for a different look.
These little gifts are quick to assemble with kids and make cheerful, humorous presents for classmates, neighbors, or coworkers. They’re inexpensive, easy to personalize, and a fun way to spread holiday cheer.
