[[just an idea]]
Last night my mom and I went to Walmart, and I picked up a few things to give teachers for Christmas. I bought 4 round votive candle holders, some peppermints [candy], and some wired Christmas-y [fabric] ribbon.
I glued the ribbon around the middle of the candle holders, but instead of glueing it to the actual glass I just wrapped the ribbon around and glued it to itself, that way it can be removed. Then I put the peppermint candies in them, and they look really cute!
I plan on wrapping them up in decorative saran wrap, so the candies don't fall out on my way to school, and giving them to some of my teachers. They look really nice and when they run out of candy they can either put more in or put a candle in. I made the ribbon so that if they don't like the design, or if they want to use it after the holidays they can easily remove it.
I bought the votive candle holders for 47 cents each at Walmart, the ribbon was 83 cents, and the candy was 99 cents. So this only costs a little under $4.
