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.

    What a neat idea!  I’ve seen all sorts of party favors, but NEVER break­fast in a box.  This is a nice new twist.   ;)

    Thanks for link­ing to Time Travel Thursday.
