My daughter taked me into helping with a craft fair. I am trying to find some simple things I did several years ago and can't find them. Can you all help? They were the sayings for little simple gag (sort of) gifts that sold for 50 cents. They were:
snowman soup (hot chocolate)
reindeer poop (marshmellows)
reindeer food (rolled oats)
Here is a sample of one I did find: It is a baggie with cotton balls in it and a typed note saying "So the holidays are here and here's the scoop! You have been naughty so all you are going to get is SNOWMAN POOP!!"
Is there a website would I could find some, possibly?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.
doglover.

Make some cereal snack mix and bag it as reindeer kibble.

One I particularly like is to package a few batteries with a note that says "Gift not included." :)

I knew I was asking the right people. Wonderful ideas. I have spent most of the day reading and doing and I think my daughter and I will have many fun things to keep the children busy while the parents shop and plus these items will be cheap enough the children can purchase them.
Thank you again for helping me.

Very cute poop sayings!
Snowman Soup!

Assemble in a gift bag, gift mug or small zipper food storage bag:

1 individual pack hot chocolate mix
3 Hershey's chocolate kisses
10-15 mini-marshmallows
small candy cane

Snowman Soup

Was told you've been real good this year.
Always glad to hear it!
With freezing weather drawing near,
You'll need to warm the spirit.
So here's a little Snowman Soup
Complete with stirring stick.
Add hot water, sip it slow.
It's sure to do the trick!
