CANDY CANE HORSE

It is always easy to find small, cute “girly” present ideas—princesses, crowns, unicorns, and
dolls. But what about those less into ruffles and sparkle? We’ve got them covered, too! This horsey candy cane wrapper is adorable, and the options are endless. Red and white for Christmas, green with your own touches added to create a dinosaur or monster. What would
your little guy love?
