Gift Packing Ideas: Five Ways to Package Edible Gifts

It is that time of year again!  Gift giving season is upon us.  We have 5 gift packing ideas on how to package edible gifts for you today.  A few supplies will have you packaging up small or large amounts of delicious treats for  neighbors, friends, and more.

5 Gift Packing Ideas for Edible Treats:

Gift packing ideas #1: Mason Jars.

First we have a pretty mason jar holding a few cookies or maybe even your homemade fudge.  For this one you will need:

• Wide Mouth Pint Mason Jars
• Gold Tissue Paper
• Chalkboard Labels

Put your edible gift on the inside of the jar.  Add a few circles of the gold tissue paper to the lid before adding to the top.  Screw on the band and add a chalkboard label to the center.  Write in your recipients name for a fun gift idea in minutes.

Gift packing ideas #2: Mini baskets.

Next is a mini basket overflowing with edible delights.  For this one you will need:

• Wood Favor Baskets
• Gift Basket Wrap
• Kraft Paper Tags

Add your cookies or other treats to the basket.  Cut a smaller piece from the large gift basket wrap.  Set the basket in the center.

Pull the gift basket wrap around and tie with the ribbon on the kraft tag.  This one is ready to brighten someone’s day this holiday season.

Gift packing ideas #3: Chinese food boxes.

Go simple with some mini Chinese food boxes.  For this one you will need to get:

• 8 oz Chinese Food Boxes
• Large Gift Tags

There is really nothing to this one y’all.  Just add your treats to the container and fold closed.  Tie on a gift tag and head out the door with a fun mini edible gift.

Gift packing ideas #4: Wedding favor boxes.

I am sort of in love with wedding favor boxes for gifts like this.  The next idea uses:

• Window Favor Boxes
• Chalkboard Labels

Just add your treats so that they are visible from the window, close, and add a chalkboard label.

Gift packing ideas #5: Pastry Boxes.

Most of the above ideas are intended for enough edible treats for one person.  Need to gift more?  Maybe a gift for an entire family?  Try this next idea!  Grab the following items from Consumer Crafts:

• Chalkboard Labels
• Pastry Window Boxes

Just fill the box until your heart is content and top with a chalkboard label.  So simple and so festive!

Be sure to grab supplies from Consumer Crafts for one of more of these ideas to package edible gifts.  Your gift recipients will love the treats you pass out this holiday season!
