Attractive Ways to Package Popcorn For Gift Giving
Popcorn, in kernel form anyway, is one of the cheapest snacks you can buy and it comes in handy when you need a gift for any occasion but don't have a lot of money to spend. Just like people make great gifts out of soup mixes, dip mixes, and cookie mixes, you can make an attractive gift out of popcorn kernels. If you like, you can even add a packet of your favorite seasoning blend or include a recipe card for caramel popcorn or popcorn balls.
Jars make the most wonderful gift holders. They come in all shapes and sizes and most of the time, you don't even have to buy them. Just save the jars you normally empty and dress them up with paint, ribbon, and doilies. You can also layer regular popcorn with rainbow colored popcorn or the black variety as well.
Also, keep your eye out for cheap little boxes and buckets, especially around the holidays. You can always find cute containers around the Christmas holidays when people are baking cookies and fudge. Of course, popcorn will probably look better in a glass jar but a box may work well if you would like to take some fresh popped popcorn to someone.
You can also find glass jars and interesting containers at flea markets and garage sales. Sometimes, you can find old soda bottles or other kinds of bottles that would make a wonderful popcorn filled gift. Just be sure and sterilize anything you buy used and use your imagination to dress up the outer container to make the gift look as great as it tastes.
