As the holiday season approached, I was inspired to mix things up a bit with my gift-giving. Typically, I’d rely on the classic jar or box when gifting goodies from my kitchen, but this year, I wanted to create something that felt a little extra special and unique. So, I set my sights on crafting adorable gingerbread doll gift bags!
These little gingerbread bags are not only charming, but they also have a practical touch. Each one has a simple drawstring back, making it easy to slip in a treat—a cookie mix, homemade candies, or even baked gingerbread men themselves. By popping the treat into a small plastic bag first, it stays fresh and ready to go. Then, you slide it into the gingerbread doll, pull the drawstring, and it’s ready to gift.
To add that final personalized touch, I attached a little recipe card or a sweet note to each gingerbread doll’s “hand.” It’s a lovely way to let friends and family know they’re getting something made with love and care. Plus, gingerbread men seem to be everywhere this season—there’s something heartwarming and nostalgic about them makes these gifts extra popular and perfectly on-trend.
Creating these gingerbread doll gift bags was fun and fulfilling, and it felt great to give something that comes from my kitchen and has a handmade touch. So, if you’re looking for a festive, unique way to give gifts from your kitchen this year, try these gingerbread bags! They're a perfect blend of creativity and cozy holiday cheer.
