Sugar Free Present

My Uncle turned 60 yesterday and his parish threw him a surprise party!!

I had no idea what to give him until I was in my favorite store... the dollar tree ~ and saw all the sugar free candy they have. 
He is diabetic.

I had a container that I bought for $.25 (actually I bought several of them) from Dollar General last Christmas
 
I covered it with paper that I printed on my computer and trimmed it with my favorite black ribbon

I also covered some microwave popcorn with this label that I created

 
I took all the candy out of the packages and placed them in pretzel bags and tied them with a personalized tag and curly ribbon

 I also covered the peanuts and nuts with personalized wrappers too

So far so good
 
It is really packed now!!
And here it is all wrapped and ready to go!

I hope he loved it ~ I am sure he will let me know soon!!
