Well not quite, but the containers sure are useful.
I put together this in about an hour. It makes a great way to present caramel popcorn, or other homemade goodies to a friend or family member.
All you need;~ Strawberry or other plastic woven-type basket
~ Decorative paper
~ Ribbon
~ Glue
It's simple enough to make, just cut the paper to the width and length you'll need to weave around the basket. Glue ends together.
Do the same for the ribbon. You can also add stickers, dried flowers, glitter, anything your imagination wants. This would also make a great rainy day activity for the kids as little to no supervision is required.
Have fun =)

I bet you’d like to make a splash on your next gift giving occasion but don’t want to spend a fortune? Try my super secret gift giving technique called “The Gift of Three” and make your gift giving experience more personal, affordable, and memorable. Better yet, the Gift of Three strategy is fun and easy…anyone on any budget can do it!
1. *Think of an experience that you would like to give rather than a specific gift. For example, if you would like to give the experience of relaxation to a special lady on your list, you can begin you build a theme around a home spa or pampering experience.
2. *Choose one central gift that will be the foundation or centerpiece of the gift experience. Remember, you are building a gift with three crucial components. This gift should be the main focus.
3. *Choose two smaller gifts that will tie the theme together. To save major moolah, consider making gift items by hand, baking gifts from your kitchen, or pull from your emergency gift stash. Re-gifting is OK, but make sure the item is in excellent condition or has a clear sentimental value. Just make sure they fit in with your theme, and you’ll be amazed at the results!
For Example: The Gift of Family Time
Gift One: A family friendly DVD the entire family can watch together
Gift Two: A board game or jigsaw puzzle the family can build together
Gift Three: A disposable camera to take pictures throughout the evening and capture precious memories at the same time!
