Gingerbread House Neighbor Gift

 This gingerbread house neighbor gift was created as part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias®.

Christmas is starting to sneak into my mind and I’ve been working on a few fun projects!  Every year I give my neighbors a simple but sweet little gift and this year they’ll each be receiving a gingerbread house neighbor gift … filled with delicious Gingerbread M&M’s!

 I love trying all the new seasonal candy flavors and my family and I love Gingerbread M&M’s {found exclusively at Walmart}!  They taste like big chewy gingerbread cookies and instantly remind me of Christmas.  They’re the perfect treat to hide inside a whimsical gingerbread house!

 To make this cute little house, I used chipboard and scrapbook paper and cut a house template using my Silhouette.  If you don’t have a Silhouette or another cutting machine, you can find a template online and cut it out with a craft knife.

 Once the house was cut out, I used a glue gun to attach it together …

 … and added the fun decorative elements, like a cute little wreath for the front door …

 … and glittery window frames.

Doesn’t it look cute?

I stuffed it full of Gingerbread M&M’s {I placed them loosely inside but you could also put them in a plastic bag and place it inside before gluing the roof on}.

 The final touch is a cute little sign on the back of the house alluding to the treats inside.

 I’ll be stocking up on Gingerbread M&M’s and delivering these whimsical little treats to my neighbors next month!
