Christmas Day is almost here and I’m still thinking about Christmas Neighbor Gifts.
Let me show you a super cute idea, our Ginger Bread House Kit.
OK, I confess I haven’t given anything to my neighbors yet
and if you are as late as I am you may like this tutorial that I shared over at Tatertots and Jello last week.
Every year as part of our Christmas tradition we love to make
Homemade Ginger Bread and of course build with it our Ginger Bread Christmas Village.
This year we made an extra house to give to one of our neighbors as a building kit.
It was really simple to put the kit together.
First make your ginger bread, cut and bake the houses.
{ I am sharing the recipe and templates for the small house here}
Making the houses is our favorite part!
After your house has cooled down hold it together using baker’s twine.
Then put a bunch of candy to decorate the house inside of a clear treat bag.
You can find the bags over at Wal-Mart and Craft Stores.
Assemble the kit putting the house and the candy inside of a box and add
a little tag or Christmas Card to it. You can even add the recipe for the Ginger Bread
to the kit so your neighbors, family and friends can have it as well.
{ You can print the recipe here. }
Such a simple and cute way to wish a Merry Christmas to those you love!

Hi Desirée. Oh what a wonderful way to spoil wonderful neighbors. I have never seen a ginger bread kit, so genius idea. I have actually never tried baking a ginger bread house (I know I am a bit imbaressed), maybe I should give it a try and try your kit, it’s the most joly idea this Christmas. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day.
Aww! You are so sweet! Thank you for the visit… I love your work as well.
This is such a fabulous idea! I’ll have to remember this for next year seeing as I already gave out gifts. This is awesome, I love how it’s wrapped up in twine. I love twine. 🙂
So adorable!!! Love this idea especially since my new neighbors are into giving food gifts.
This has to be one of our children’s favorite projects to do or should I say, EAT!!! I think they eat more of the house in it’s building process then the actual building itself 🙂 I LOVE how you presented it 🙂
