If you’re looking for a creative and heartfelt way to say thank you, this DIY S’mores Gift Caddy is the perfect idea!
This thoughtful gift is simple to put together and fun to personalize. Whether you’re dropping it off at your local station or giving it directly to a police officer you know, it’s sure to bring a smile and a sweet moment of gratitude.
What’s in the S’mores Gift Caddy?
We filled a sturdy black metal caddy with all the essentials for making the perfect s’mores—plus a little extra sweetness! Here’s what we included:
- Marshmallows – A s’mores must-have! Consider various flavors too.
- Graham Crackers – Classic and crunchy.
- Fudge Stripe Cookies – A delicious twist to replace graham crackers.
- Hershey’s Chocolate Bars – The OG chocolate layer.
- Hershey’s Carmel Chocolate Bars – these NEW chocolate bars are so good.
- Ghirardelli Squares – Because everyone deserves a little indulgence.
- Reese’s Cups – For that extra wow factor of peanut butter and chocolate.
You can easily customize the contents to match your favorite brands or add in roasting sticks if you’d like to go all out.
Presentation Tip: Thin Blue Line Inspired
To give the gift a touch of law enforcement appreciation, we used a black caddy as the base and wrapped a strip of blue tape around it—a subtle nod to the Thin Blue Line and a stylish way to tie in the theme. It adds a simple but meaningful visual element that instantly sets the tone of gratitude.
Free Printable Tag:
To tie it all together, we created a FREE printable tag that reads:
“We need s’more police officers like you!”
Attach it to your caddy with ribbon, string, or even a mini clothespin for a polished, homemade look.
Assembly Tips:
- Choose your container – A black metal caddy works great and adds a sleek look.
- Add blue tape – Wrap a strip of blue painter’s tape or vinyl around the center or top edge.
- Arrange the items – Stand items up neatly and use tissue paper or paper shreds to keep them in place.
- Add the tag – Print, cut, and attach the tag somewhere visible to complete the gift.
- Optional – Add a handwritten thank-you note or a small American flag for an extra patriotic touch.
