My best friend turned 40! This is a man who neither needs nor wants anything so gifting can be a challenge. I pride myself is not getting gifts just for the sake of getting something. It needs to be meaningful.
The best part of this gift is the price tag, a dozen chocolate bars will run you around $12 (Go to the dollar store) plus another $1.50 for the sticks.
He copuldn’t tell me what his favorite chocolate bar would be so I simply biought 12 different ones. Originally I intended each chocolate bar to be on it’s own stick but it didn’t take long to realize.
That’s a lot of chocolate on a stick.
It becomes shockingly heavy fast.
I used a cleaned out peanut butter jar and a piece of pool noodle as a base while assembling. Also stuck some glass beads in the jar to help balance out the weight (seriously.. it gets heavy)
The chocolate bars were:
Coffee Crisp
Mars Bar
KitKat Crunchy
Caramilk Bar
Snickers
M&M’s
Aero Bar
Hershey’s Cookies & Cream
Hershey’s Milk Chocolate & Almonds
Reeces Peanut Butter Cups
Twix
Toblerone
Once they were all secured on their sticks (some doubled up) I removed it from the jar and wrapped it in some brown paper and a white ribbon I had kicking around to keep it cozy.
Voila! A delicious and practical gift for under $20
