Are you done with your Christmas shopping yet? I’m not! This week we will be sharing some simple, inexpensive and last-minute gift ideas on the blog. It seems like there’s always another person I forgot to buy a gift for – teachers, neighbors, and what about that cute little 4 year old boy that lives next door?
Today is all about the boys (because they’re harder to buy/make gifts for, I think…) This 2 dollar gift is inspired by those awesome masking tape roads we’ve all seen on Pinterest. My kids love to do this on bad-weather days when we can’t play outside.
It’s cheap and it will make the recipient’s MOM really happy, too!
What you need for this easy and inexpensive gift:
- a roll of masking tape (dollar store)
- one or two new cars, Hot Wheels, etc. (These cute wooden cars were at Dollar Tree! Score!)
- printable tag found here
Aren’t these little wooden cars I found so cute? Dollar Tree also had an ambulance, police car, school bus and taxi version! My daughter can’t wait to give her best friend the ambulance because his Daddy works on the Ambulance where we live!
Coming Wednesday: a simple and inexpensive gift idea for girlfriends and neighbors!

Great gift idea!
What a great idea! I cannot believe that adorable wooden car was from the dollar store. Score! Megan
Love this! You are so right about little boys being hard to create gifts for. I suggested the masking tape road idea to one of my coworkers and she loved it — this would be perfect to toss in with her Christmas gift this year. Thanks for sharing!
Love this idea, how perfect! I’ve heard so much about your darling blog and now I know why! This is my first time here and I love what I see! Cute story behind the name too!
What a fun idea!! My little grandson will love doing this the next time he comes for a visit!
what a cute brilliant idea! I love it!!!!! my boys will think this is so fun in their stocking!
What an AWESOME idea!
What a perfectly cute gift idea! I have plenty of nephews that this will work for 🙂 Thanks for this idea! (And I love the stocking idea in the previous comments!)
WOW! What a wonderful crafts! My little baby girl will like this definitely.
This is such a cute idea! It is perfect for a rainy day.
I am having trouble opening the document. Anyone else?
I am as well. I’m hoping it’s a temporary issue!! I have everything ready to go for a preschool class. 🙂
Ahhh just got it to work! 🙂
YES! Boys ARE harder to buy for (the bigger ones too). Love this idea (although the cheapo stores here like Hot Dollar etc. are quite a bit more expensive then they are in the US it seems…). Will have to keep my eyes open!
Adorable. I know a 4 year old who might be finding this in his stocking…
is there still trouble opening the printable? i can’t seem to get it to work, but i’d love to put this cute gift together for a couple of lil guys i know. thanks for the great idea!!
oh…i wondered too…did you have a little girl’s gift that was inexpensive like this?
im still having trouble opening the printable. 🙁
SUPER ADORABLE, ladies… HUGS!!
SO much fun!!
These little wooden cars are also in the dollar spot at my Target right now. Cute! I didn’t have any trouble opening the printable using firefox–maybe try a different browser?
Thank you for the heads up! Target is the best 🙂
This is just super cute ladies as usual!! 😉
SO bummed – my Dollar Tree or Target didn’t have anything like this during that time… just a bunch of plastic junk. :/ So cute though, pinning this for next year!
So cute! This would make a fantastic loot bag. Would love to have you share them at my “loot bag” link up! 🙂 http://eastcoastmommyblog.blogspot.ca/2013/08/loot-bag-ideas-link-up.html
I looooove this! What a wonderful, easy idea for friends or favors 🙂
