Peak-A-Boo Elf Mason Jar Christmas Gift

When I worked full-time up to a couple of years ago, we held a secret Santa gift exchange each year in the weeks leading up to Christmas. We had a $10 limit for gifts and it was always a fun challenge to find nice and clever gift ideas within that budget. To this day I still have and cherish some of those thoughtful little gifts given to me by my co-workers. So I thought it would be fun to make a cute little Christmas Mason Jar craft which could be used as a secret Santa gift to make someone smile. They could also be used as a stocking stuffer, a Christmas gift for a teen or older child or simply as holiday decor. I’ve filled these guys with Hershey’s kisses, but you could use colored jelly beans or any other treats you’d like.
