Why is it that everything is cuter when it’s small? Puppies are completely irresistible, babies can win your heart over in a minute, and pumpkin pie in a little tiny jar with a miniature spoon? I’m hooked!

Really, there’s just something sweet about things in miniature, and these mini desserts for Thanksgiving are just so cute! It’s a very easy dessert to make-graham cracker crust layered with pumpkin pie mousse and topped with Cool Whip. All packed into a teeny little jar and topped with a cute tag.

I love the idea of taking one of these to a friend for Thanksgiving all packaged up with a cute ribbon or twine, the Grateful tag on top and a tiny spoon tied to it. It’s a fun little Thanksgiving gift idea to tell someone you are grateful for them and their friendship.

It would also be darling to put on of these at each place setting on your Thanksgiving table. A mini dessert ready to be eaten right away! (Then maybe you can save the full dessert for later. Two desserts is ok right…?)

Mini Dessert for Thanksgiving:

Pumpkin Pie in a Jar Recipe

Print Recipe

• Author: Fun-Squared
• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 10 minutes
• Yield: 12 Mini Desserts

Ingredients

• Graham crackers
• 6 Tbsp of butter
• 1 small box of cheesecake pudding
• 1/2 C half and half or milk
• 1 C pumpkin
• 1 tsp pumpkin spice
• 3–4 C Cool Whip
• Cinnamon
• 4 oz. Jelly jars

Instructions

Start by crushing a package of graham crackers until you have crumbs. You want about 1 1/2 C of crumbs. Add 6 Tbsp of butter and mix.

Layer the graham cracker mix at the bottom of the jar (about 1/2 inch to 1 inch thick).

To make your pumpkin mousse, start by combining your box of pudding with 1/2 of cold half and half or milk. Mix.

Then stir in your pumpkin and pumpkin spice. Fold in 2 1/2 C of Cool Whip.

Layer this on top of your graham cracker crust in the jars leaving room to top with Cool Whip.

Top with a layer of Cool Whip and then sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.

Seriously-this stuff is GOOD! I had to eat my work of course after I made these!

Thanksgiving Gift for Friends:

Now if you want to package this up all cute so that you can give it to your friends as a little Thanksgiving gift or if you want to put them on your table, I have this cute and simple Grateful gift tag for you to print and use.

All you need to do is right click and save it to your computer and then you can size it how you want and print. (Do this in a program like Word or Pages.)

Or, even better, I have a PDF with 8 of these gift tags ready and size just the right size for the top of the jars I used.

Everyone knows that Halloween is a witch’s busy season, and I don’t want any of those good witches to start to look frazzled.  It takes work to keep that green face glowing and the frizzy hair under control.  So, let’s bust out those cauldrons and start to fill them with all things needed to keep the witches in our lives flying high on their broomsticks.

If you need a cute gift idea for a friend this time of year, it of course needs to have a fun Halloween flare.  This could not be simpler to put together and you will get extra cool points for creativity.

I started with a plastic cauldron (easy to find almost anywhere this time of year), and loaded it full of fun witchy items.

It’s also a great party favor or prize for our fun Witch’s Night Out Party!

Cute Witch’s Halloween Gifts:

Here’s what we included in our kit:

• Nail Polish
• Striped Socks
• Green mud mask
• Chocolate
• Pop Bottle
• All in a cauldron (get them at party stores)

Here’s a peek inside:

The most important thing to remember when giving a gift is who you are giving it to.  Think about the recipient…what does she like, what things make her happy?  And start to build your perfect present.

I have a fun tag for you to use, but within these categories personalize anything you can.

Here’s the printable tag:

Here’s a PDF that you can use to print it or you can right click and save to your computer, size it how you want in a program like Word or Pages:

When I say Diet, you say Coke…Diet Coke!  Am I the only one who gets excited about my favorite drink?!  I would gladly trade in a baked cake for this awesome Diet Coke Cake any day of the week.  Don’t get me wrong, I love birthday cake, but I think this Diet Coke Cake is such a fun twist on a classic birthday cake.  I’m celebrating my birthday week this week and this Diet Coke Cake is the perfect addition to the party…I love how it turned out.  And even better, I love having this baby at my house!  So, if you know someone celebrating a birthday soon, find out their favorite drink and start making them a “cake.”

Diet Coke Cake:

How fun is this?  I love the way it turned out and it was super simple to put together.

Supplies Needed:

• Soda Cans (29)
• Ribbon
• Card board to place each layer on (I used cake boards 6, 8, and 12 inches)
• Bow
• Hot Glue

Here’s How to Make This:

Step 1-

Start with the bottom layer and place one can in the center of the 12 inch board.  Place 6 more cans around the center can, making a circle.

Place 12 cans on the outer layer to complete your bottom layer of the cake.  Make sure all of your cans are as close together as they can be.  Wrap a ribbon around the circle and hot glue it together on the back side (pull the ribbon as tight as you can get it).

Step 2-

Put your 8 inch board on the top of your bottom layer.  Place a can in the center of the 8 inch board and then place 6 more cans around the center can.  Wrap a piece of ribbon around this layer and secure it in place with hot glue.

Step 3-

Place your 6 inch board on top of the middle layer and center 3 cans on it.  Wrap the ribbon around using hot glue to secure it.  Top your cake with a bow and you are ready to go!

This is simple and quick, and a perfect way to say Happy Birthday!

Have FUN drinking Diet Coke!
