Part of the Fun is the Package!

So you've finished your holiday baking - but you don't know how to package it?

Some simple ideas that I fall back on look great and are fun as well.
My personal favorite is to package food items on odd ball plates that I find at the thrift store! I am partial to the heavy stonewear plates and the fine china ones- many come in solid colors or seasonable designs.
I also like to buy baskets at the Thrift Store- they can be washed down with warm, soapy water, left to dry, and spray painted if needed, or just sprayed with a bit of glitter paint.
My other all time favorite is to use canning jars- this is one of my favorites because I have so many that I look for ways to get rid of them! Food gifts can be layered in the jars, or mixed up and poured in. The jars can be simple with a bit of ribbon or raffia tied around, or decorated with paints or a design applied using etching ingredients.
So go ahead- mix up a batch of special treats, find a fun container, and gift away!
