Ten Snack Ideas For Blessing The Needy This Holiday Season

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by World Market, 

but all thoughts and ideas are my own! 

I simply cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by

or the fact that Thanksgiving and Christmas are just right around the corner! 

Holidays are the perfect time to do some special for those in need around us.

Today I wanted to share ten snack ideas for blessing the needy this holiday season.

All of the items are perfect for gathering in a gift basket and giving to someone in need!

1. Fiji water.
One can never have enough water, so this a must have!

2. Fruit Spread Sampler.
This sampler comes with four mini jellies:
 lingonberry, apricot-peach, strawberry rhubarb, and black cherry.
I think these are great because there is a variety of flavors.
They can also be shared and can be used with other items, such as the following two snacks.

3. Sesame seed crackers
These crackers could easily be a great snack with the jelly on top!
They could even be enjoyed by themselves!

4. Pumpernickel bread.
This bread is a guilt free snack made with whole-grains and a bit of sweetness.
Jelly would also be good along with it.

5. Italian dry sliced salami.
This salami is ready to eat and that's why I love it!
You could easily pair it with the crackers or the bread.
It could also be eaten by itself or enjoyed with multiple other items from World Market!

6. Wild Garden Mini Hummus.
Who doesn't love hummus? It can go with so many things!
It could be used on crackers, bread, with the salami as well.
You could also eat it with chips!

7. Veggie chips.
My kids absolutely love these and I don't mind them
because they are definitely a healthier option when it comes to chips.
These would be great with the hummus or on the side of a pumpernickel sandwich!

8. Nutella and go!
Everybody loves nutella, right?
This is perfect because you have just what you need to enjoy this chocolate snack!

9. Hawaiian Macadamias.
These macadamias are such an easy snack! It couldn't hurt to throw these in a gift basket.

10. Ready-to-drink coffee.
The name says it all, doesn't it? This is perfect incase coffee is needed right away!

I think these snack and drink items are perfect for putting in a gift basket
and giving to someone in need because they are ready to be enjoyed!
What would you put in a gift basket for those in need?

World Market & Sharing the Joy

Life can be hard, with so many ups and downs. 

For many, the Holidays can be especially hard. 

Maybe you can bills piling up 

and you have no idea how you're actually going to have a Holiday.

Maybe your struggling to put food on the table, clothes on your back,

or buy gifts for your children.

Maybe your family is far away or simply not there at all. 

Really, the list of what can make the Holidays hard, are endless. 

I knew this to be true for a women in my community. 

I knew the Holidays were going to be a struggle, painful, different. 

I wanted to do something for her, but really was unsure of what to do. 

Then, I heard about World Market's Share the Joy campaign and I knew it was perfect. 

The campaign is about giving back to your community. 

Maybe to a family or organization in need of food or other items. 

Maybe toys for children who otherwise probably wouldn't get any. 

Maybe to teachers, coaches, pastors, youth leaders, ect.

Maybe to someone you know just needs some joy this season! 

We all need a little joy in our lives and some times, 

even the simplest things, like a basket of goodies can lift our spirits! 

I know it would lift mine! 

So, that's what I did, I went shopping at World Market for a basket full of goodies. 

World Market has such a great selection of food and drink items. 

You can't go wrong with their teas and many other drink options! 

I'm a big fan of sparkling grape juice and their selection is different than other stores. 

They also have many adorable mugs and items for the kitchen.

Their Holiday items of decor and food,

including that chocolate above, blew me away!

Seriously, I could have spent way more time in their store putting together my basket! 

So, what are you waiting for? Share the joy with someone you know needs it! 

Also, be sure the enter their Share The Joy Sweepstakes!

You can win a 5,000 American Express gift card + 5,000 for a charity of your choice.

That would surely bring lots of joy!
