These cute little gifts are perfect for stocking stuffers or as inexpensive gifts for co-workers, friends, service workers, neighbors and kids. You can choose which you would like to make, depending on whether the person you are giving one to has been naughty or nice. The naughty gifts make great ideas for gag gifts, too.

Snowman gifts are really nice (even the naughty ones) because snowmen always have a way of making people smile.

Let's start with the naughty, just because that can be a little bit of fun.

Snowman Poop

Snowman poop is so easy to make. Just place a handful of mini marshmallows in a small Ziploc or other zippered storage bag and attach a little poem you can print out or write by hand on a piece of card stock. Kids love this one, especially little boys who may taught each other by saying "You're eating snowman poop!"

I hear you've been naughty,

so, here's the scoop...

I'm running short on coal this year,

So you get "Snowman Poop"

Love, Santa

or

You've been naughty

Here's the Scoop

You're getting nothing

And for the nice, there is a much more pleasant alternative.

Snowman Soup

Place the following items in a Ziploc or other zippered storage bag, or a pouch or a holiday mug.

1 individual packet of hot chocolate mix

3 Hershey's chocolate kisses

10-15 mini-marshmallows (you can warp them in aluminum foil and a attach a label that says "Freeze-dried snow" on it.

With freezing weather drawing near,

You'll need to warm the spirit.

from the snowman to you.
