If you know me, you know I love functional gifts. I don’t believe in giving a gift just for the sake of it—I want it to be something useful that minimizes waste. That’s exactly the idea behind this gift!

With just a few simple supplies, you can create the perfect DIY gift in no time. It’s ideal for neighbors, friends, teachers, or anyone who would appreciate the best sponges ever (at least in my opinion). To make it even easier, I’ve created a printable gift tag for you. This project couldn’t be more simple or adorable!

Supply Information

  • Scrub Daddy or Scrub Mommy: You can use any sponge but I prefer the Scrub Mommy sponges. They made an entire Christmas Sponge Mommy and Scrub Daddy collection I found at Target that I used for this gift.
  • Small Bottle of Dish Soap: I found small bottles of Dawn Dish Soap at my local Dollar Tree for $1.25.
  • Small Cello Bags: I used Christmas treat bags from my local party store and they fit just fine. You can find them at Dollar Tree too, I just find those ones are thinner and may rip.
  • Curling Ribbon: This makes it easy to tie the bags shut. You can use any color to match your gift bags.
  • Printable Gift Tag: I made a Free Printable Scrub Mommy Gift Tag for you. Simply print, cut and attach.

Helpful Tips

  •  You can use any small bottle of dish soap you’d like. I just prefer Dawn and love the tiny bottles that Dollar Tree sells.
  • You can purchase Scrub Mommy and Scrub Daddy in bulk at your local Costco or Sam’s Club to save on the cost. I’ve also seen them at my local TJMaxx and HomeGoods stores. Buying this way gets the sponges down to $2-3 plus the $1.25 dish soap makes it less than $5 per gift!
  • These fit into standard size treat bags from your local party store. You can also use paper lunch sacks or any gift bag of your choosing.
