Easy Gifts with HERSHEY'S KISSES + Printable Santa Gift Tags
First ... have you seen the new HERSHEY’S KISSES Santa Hat Chocolates yet?! You can find them at Target or on Amazon and they are dressed in their holiday finery with a Santa hat foil and a HO HO HO plume!
The cuteness!!
They are brightly colored and perfect for these three easy gifts with HERSHEY'S KISSES! Here is a list** of what I used to make these sweet gifts:
- HERSHEY’S KISSES Santa Hat Chocolates
- Red paper lunch bags
- Pretzel bags
- Red Santa tumblers - here are a couple of options: plastic Santa belt cups / plastic Christmas cups / festive Christmas tumblers
- Cello bags
- Red/white twine - I love this set with 3 different twine color combinations
- Hole punch
- Printable Santa tags (below)

First, you will need to print the tags! I've got two sizes that you can print depending on which gifts you are going to make. Each page has both the "Merry Kiss-mas to All" tags and the "Happy ho-ho-ho Holidays" tags. Pretty perfect for giving sweet gifts of HERSHEY'S KISSES this year, right?
Just click on the link below for the correct size and print on white card stock.
- Printable Santa Tags LARGE - 4 per page - for the paper bag gifts
- Printable Santa Tags SMALL - 8 per page - for the tumblers & pretzel bag gifts
Once you have your tags printed, you can start assembling the gifts. Let's start with the paper bag gift ...
First, place a bag of HERSHEY'S KISSES Santa Hat Chocolates in the red paper lunch bag. Fold over the top of the bag and punch a hole through the fold. Punch a hole in the gift tag and use red/white twine to thread through the hole in the bag and the hole in the tag and tie a bow!
Easy right?! Now, let's make the pretzel bag gifts.
Pretzel bags are basically long thin clear cellophane bags that are traditionally used to package chocolate covered pretzel rods. (Or in our house, these chocolate covered cookie sticks!) But we're going to fill them with HERSHEY'S KISSES instead! Simply fill the bag about ¾ of the way full with the HERSHEY'S KISSES Santa Hat Chocolates and tie it closed with twine and a tag.
The third gift might just be my favorite (but don't tell the others!). While I was shopping for the HERSHEY'S KISSES Santa Hat Chocolates at Target, I found red plastic tumblers with a Santa face on them ... perfect for one more gift idea! If you can't find a cute tumbler, grab bright red paper cups or even a festive Santa mug!
First, place a cellophane bag inside the tumbler and fill it just over the edge of each tumbler with HERSHEY'S KISSES. Then, tie the bag closed with the red/white twine and attach your tag.
I made a big batch of these gifts with a friend of our niece's and she loved punching the holes in the gift tags, filling the bags with HERSHEY'S KISSES Santa Hat Chocolates and of course, sneaking a few HERSHEY'S KISSES to nibble while we worked! This truly is the magic of the holiday season!
Keep these easy gifts with HERSHEY'S KISSES on hand for last minute gift exchanges, hostess gifts and stocking stuffers!

Bonnie says
Where did you find the red santa tumblers?
Keri says
Hi Bonnie - at my Target, they were on an end cap by the dishes/kitchen section. They were $1.99 each. If you can't find them, I bet there is a pail or bag or something equally as cute in the Dollar Spot.
Thanks So much for stopping by Shaken Together!
Leanne says
