DIY: Chocolate & Champagne Gift

DIY 1 Minute

This clever gift is perfect for Valentine’s Day—chocolate and champagne or wine if you prefer—a housewarming gift or even a baby shower gift, and is super simple to make!

The basic components are:

orange or gold tissue paper

about 48 ferrero rocher candies

greenery for the top (or you can use green tissue paper)

raffia for the tie

glue gun

bottle of champagne or wine

You begin by cutting the tissue paper into squares-large enough to envelope the ferrero rocher candies. Then you glue the candies in the center of the squares and then glue those around the bottle in rows beginning at the bottom and working up.  When you are nearing the top, you glue the greenery (or the green tissue paper cut into leaves) to the neck of the bottle, low enough that the last row of candies will cover the edges.  Then glue on the final row of candies and tie the raffia in a bow.

EASY PEASY!

Alternate Method

I have seen this done using mini cupcake papers instead of tissue paper and covering the bottle itself with tissue paper for easier removal of the candies.

I didn’t include the source for this craft because i have seen many varieties and many websites with the same idea. Some websites use plastic or silk greenery and some sites even used gold wrapped chocolate chunks.

  5. Hi Pat – I love the pineapple gift – especially the one with the tissue paper around the candies!

    In the South, a pineapple is a symbol of hospitality and welcome. I would make this as a neighbor welcome gift – or for someone moving into a new home – or a hostess gift.

  9. I just had a nice long visit with my GS – he only showed up to p/u his W-2 form but at least he did spend some time with me. He is doing well; he and his GF (both of whom still need to get their divorces) are planning on a wedding in October 2026. He has quit everything – vaping, smoking, MJ, drinking, etc., which pleases me. He is doing well on his job as well. He is realizing how expensive it is to raise 3 kids! Welcome to the real world, dude! LOL

      1. He really is! They are planning on staying in their rental house for 2 years at least to get their feet under them before looking for something to buy. Good chance, tho, it won’t be in NE – she wants to work with marine animals and wants to be near a beach. But that’s a long time from now so….her POS hubby agreed to a plea deal – 30 years in Federal prison. Not sure if there would be any parole.

  16. I’ve still seen not even ONE mention of the Putin interview on Fox or Newsmax…hottest potato on the planet right now! And they’re all juggling, trying to figure out how to deal with this explosion! GS said the views on Tucker’s YT channel were over 4 million, IIRC. I didn’t even realize he had a YT channel. When GS told me it was on YT, I figured they wouldn’t let it stay up…this should be interesting!

  22. I am adding a short daily prayer to the board. I would invite each of you, if you wish, to also add one or maybe two of your own liking. I do not want to stifle anyone but please limit yourself to one or two religious postings. here’s one I found that I liked.
