I plan to do my holiday baking this year for friends around the
country that I will not be able to see during the holidays, as I do
every year.

This year, however, money is tighter than usual, and I'm finding that
buying tins to send to each person is a little pricey, especially when
the size I get (usually 9" x 9" x 2.5") is usually $3-ish, and I send
out roughly 10-20 of these.

Are there any suggestions on festive, inexpensive packaging for
cookies/brownies? I use the Priority mail packaging, which is 12.125"
x 13.375" x 2.75" - so the limiting factor here is height. I can sew
and craft, but if someone knows a pre-fab idea I'm up for that too.
(Yay timesaving.)

TIA for suggestions.

Happy Holi-daze,
Sara

At "Big Lots" I got a package of 4 Christmas boxes (similar size as your
tins) for
1.99. I also purchased Glad and Ziploc Christmas reusable plastic containers
at the grocer
for appx. 3.00 per box of five.
