Breakfast In A Box

Sep 012011
 

 

Break­fast in a box, the per­fect party favor! Imag­ine going to someone’s home for din­ner, a cock­tail party or per­haps a beau­ti­ful wed­ding and get­ting to leave with break­fast for the morn­ing. I’d say that is hos­pi­tal­ity at it’s finest! The ideas are end­less, but to get your cre­ative juices started I’ve come up with my own sam­ple of an easy, but classy break­fast in a box. My ver­sion comes with scones and lemon curd, pack­aged in a restau­rant style take-out box, with sparkly rib­bons and rus­tic, but cool, mini clothes­pins. (Just add cof­fee)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

USES:
  • wed­ding guest favor
  • gifts for workmates
  • teacher appre­ci­a­tion day
  • get well pack­age (in lieu of flowers)
  • din­ner party favor to take home
  • to show grat­i­tude for your babysit­ter, mail­man, pool guy, doc­tor, UPS dri­ver, neigh­bor, dry cleaner, gar­dener, accoun­tant, etc…
  • for your sig­nif­i­cant other (sneak it bed­side the night before)
  • cock­tail party gift (I guar­an­tee it won’t make the ride home!)
  • anniver­sary gift
Add ons:
  • add a Star­bucks gift card inside
  • include cof­fee mugs (be sure to buy a box big enough)
  • include cof­fee beans or tea bags (sug­ars, stir sticks, honey too)
  • home­made jam

Tuto­r­ial and more pho­tos here.

    “Grat­i­tude in a Box” with a thank you note, per­haps a mini jour­nal and engraved pen or a framed photo of the guests with you at some point in your friend­ship. “Hap­pi­ness in a Box” filled with treats. “Favorite Things in a Box”…perhaps small things you enjoy as a COUPLE… To be hon­est I’m stuck on the “Break­fast in a Box” because it’s had so much suc­cess with so many peo­ple I know. You can change up what goes inside by putting maybe cof­fee or teas with pre-packaged mini dan­ish or some­thing. :-)

    What are some other things you could put in this? It is a won­der­ful idea and I think it would be per­fect for my wed­ding favors!

    I got my boxes at a store called Smart and Final. You def­i­nitely could buy some on-line through a bakery/restaurant sup­ply. Michaels crafts might have them as well but they would be a lot more money than a restau­rant sup­ply store. Just pay atten­tion to the dimen­sions when you’re buy­ing them so they’re the size you want. :)

    where do you find boxes like that??  I love this idea and want to use it for my wed­ding, just don’t know where to find the boxes!

    Often, when we go to a large pot luck party, where you just know there will be way too much food, I will take a batch of cin­na­mon buns for the host­ess to serve the next morn­ing. I think the host­ess deserves break­fast, not the guests! ;)

    Depend­ing on the house, I will either take already baked, or home­made frozen, with direc­tions on thaw­ing and bak­ing, so they can be freshly baked the next morning.

    What a bril­liant idea, I am absolutely in love with this! Thank you SO much for the inspi­ra­tion! I’ve been stuck for a gift idea for my boss, and now I know exactly what to do.

    oh my word, I would LOVE to leave a party with one of these!  What a GREAT idea!!!!!  You’re awesome.

    Cool idea! :)
    They would make great xmas or new year gifts for the neighbours/hostess too.

    That is an awe­some idea — how very thought­ful of you!!
