This year I decided to give out homemade treats to friends and family for Christmas and like a lot of people this year- we are on a budget. So I came up with a fun idea for packaging that is VERY inexpensive. Cookie Tins and bags can get pretty expensive when you are trying to give lots of gifts out- so with cost in mind I thought of a great cheap idea for bags, in the isle with plastic wrap and tin foil there are packages of 100 brown lunch sacks for $2.39 - so then I think - how can we make these look good - Got it - Stamps.

Next were the tags -
And some of the bags I used a great punch by Martha Stewart to add a fun edge to the folded over part of the Bag
Now for what goes in the bags -
I used paper grocery bags to print these tags on - wanted to keep the same theme. The circle stickers on the top of the jar I got at Paper Source they were a little more expensive but I will find lots of other uses for them.

I used cellophane bags to put all the treats in - a pack of 100 was $1.75 at Cash and Cary, and natural twine to tie the bags. Now I just have to put all the bags together !
I added a piece of cardboard in the bottom of the bags to stabilize the weight of the jar of jelly.
