Sometimes you want to give a special handmade gift, but there's no time to make something completely from scratch. Here's a fast and easy idea for packaging a store-bought edible gift in super special handmade way.
Dollar Tree has a lot of inexpensive containers that make perfect serving dishes for candy and nuts, which is where I found this cute star-shaped container. For this edible gift, I purchased 1.25 lbs of Imperial smoked nuts from The Fresh Market, which taste fantastic, and placed them inside a cello bag fitted inside the star dish.
I made a simple hand-cut tag with a rubber-stamped design. Normally, I would stop right there, but I needed to include a special note with this gift that couldn't be missed. I created a coordinating tiny note card with the same ribbon and orange paper as the tag.
As you can see, it's simple without a lot of fuss, but it was made with lots of love nonetheless.
Wouldn't this be perfect for a hostess gift or teacher gifts!

I love this idea!! It looks like a very special gift and I certainly wouldn't have thought 'cheap' when I saw it.
