Gum is pretty much a staple as far as stocking stuffers are concerned. My husband’s favorite gum is Extra Polar Ice (I’m partial to Peppermint), so I picked up a couple packages at Walmart and gave them a festive little makeover before adding them to his stocking. Check out my tutorials below on how to turn a package of Extra Gum into a snowman and a reindeer. These stocking stuffers would also make great co-worker gifts or leave them in a neighbor’s mailbox for a fun inexpensive surprise. I plan on making more to use in place of gift tags on my presents. I’ll just write the “to” and “from” on the back of the package.

Do you just wrap the paper around the gum and leave the ends open? Or…..do you wrap the gum like a present?
I wrapped the paper around the gum and left the ends open 🙂
