DIY S’mores Kit with Free Printable

A few years ago, my husband asked me to help him come up with a little treat he could gift his mortgage clients as a thank-you for referral business. I immediately thought of a DIY s’mores kit for a family night.

It felt like the perfect summer gift. Simple, thoughtful, and something the whole family could enjoy together.

With the help of a favorite designer, Harper Gray, we created an adorable card and gift tag to include with each kit. I added a few of our favorite s’mores combinations to the card and a simple thank-you message to the hang tag.

Then I gathered all the good stuff: graham crackers, marshmallows, lots of different chocolate bars, s’mores sticks, and canned s’mores heat.

To pull everything together, I found cute striped towels that held all of the supplies perfectly. I love that the towel becomes part of the gift instead of using a basket or container that might get tossed later.

These DIY s’mores kits are incredibly easy to put together and make such a fun gift for families, neighbors, clients, teachers, or anyone who deserves a sweet little surprise.

Why I Love These DIY S’mores Kits

I love a gift that feels thoughtful without being overly complicated.

These s’mores kits are:

You can make one for a neighbor or assemble twenty for client gifts. The idea works just as well either way.

What to Put in a S’mores Kit

The best part about making your own s’mores kit is that you can keep it classic or add as many fun extras as you’d like.

Here’s what I included in mine:

Graham Crackers

Classic honey graham crackers are always a favorite, but chocolate or cinnamon graham crackers are fun options too.

Marshmallows

I used classic marshmallows, but jumbo marshmallows or flavored marshmallows can make the kits feel extra special.

Chocolate

This is where I like to have a little fun.

Some of our favorite chocolate options include:

Giving everyone a few different chocolate options turns regular s’mores into a fun little taste test.

S’mores Sticks

Reusable roasting sticks make the kit feel complete and can be used for future campfires and family nights.

Canned S’mores Heat

Adding canned heat means the recipient doesn’t need a backyard fire pit to enjoy the kit.

Always follow the manufacturer’s directions and use the heat source in a properly ventilated, safe location away from children and flammable materials.

How to Assemble a DIY S’mores Kit

Once you’ve gathered your supplies, assembly is easy.

Start by laying your striped towel flat.

Arrange the graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate bars, s’mores sticks, and canned heat in the center of the towel.

Fold the towel around the supplies to create a little bundle.

Secure everything with twine, then attach your printable s’mores card and gift tag.

That’s it!

You have a thoughtful, ready-to-gift family night in one adorable package.

Try a S’mores Taste Test

One of my favorite parts of these kits is including different kinds of chocolate.

Instead of making the same classic s’more every time, turn family night into a s’mores taste test.

Try combinations like:

Classic S’more

Graham cracker + marshmallow + milk chocolate

Peanut Butter Cup S’more

Graham cracker + marshmallow + peanut butter cup

Cookies & Cream S’more

Graham cracker + marshmallow + cookies and cream chocolate

Caramel S’more

Graham cracker + marshmallow + caramel-filled chocolate

Peppermint S’more

Graham cracker + marshmallow + peppermint patty

Let everyone vote for their favorite at the end of the night!

When to Gift a S’mores Kit

While I originally made these as client gifts, I’ve realized there are so many occasions where a s’mores kit would be perfect.

Try them for:

I especially love the idea of leaving one on a friend’s porch with a little note inviting them to have a family night together. 

Turn It Into a Family S’mores Night

You don’t need a camping trip or a big party to use these kits.

Set up a little s’mores night in the backyard, put out blankets and pillows, turn on some music, and let everyone create their own s’mores combinations.

You could even pair the kit with an outdoor movie night or backyard campout.

Sometimes the simplest activities are the ones everyone remembers.

I still love this gift idea just as much as I did when we first put these kits together.

They’re simple, useful, and give someone an excuse to slow down and spend a little time together. Plus, it’s hard to go wrong with a basket full of marshmallows and chocolate.

Make one for a neighbor, put a few together for client gifts, or surprise your own family with a backyard s’mores night.

And don’t forget to download the free printable tags before you start assembling your kits. They make the whole gift feel pulled together with almost no extra work.

Happy s’mores making!
