Pill Box Treasures

What you will need

1 small plastic pill box with 7 compartments for each day of the week.
7 small trinket and thoughtful gifts.
Red or green tissue paper.

How to make it

This craft is a wonderful gift to give kids or a special person before Christmas.  For each of the seven days before Christmas, the recipient is allowed to open the corresponding Day's Compartment.  In each compartment, a special little gift awaits them! (Note- put a little star or Christmas sticker on the Day's compartment from which they are to start).

When choosing the pill box, try to pick a red or green one.  If these are not available, then pick a white/clear one.

Open all seven compartments of the pill box.
Cut small square pieces of tissue that will be large enough to wrap the trinkets in and enough layers of it so you can not see the trinket through it.

Wrap each of the trinket gifts separately, and place each one into it's own separate compartment....and Voila...a special little gift to give!!
The following are some ideas for older children.  Of course modify them or be inventive for adult gift giving!
