Hey people, just though we could share some ideas on how to maximize your gift bang-per-buck.
My thing is to have 2 lists- a short one with close friends/fam that I shop especially for, and a seperate much longer one for distant fam/acquaintances/coworkers/neighbors/ect. For this latter group the past couple years I've been mass-producing a goody bag that looks pretty, is delicious, and inexpensive:
First, I head over to bulkfoods.com and buy a 15lb box of chocolate covered pretzels, and also a 15lb box of yogurt covered pretzels, total there with shipping is about $70. Then hit a local store for some festive cellophane bags and ribbon to tie em, tags optional, definitely possible for at/under $30 (if you don't already have some lying around). After a day's work of filling (half choco half yogurt), bow-tying, & labelling, I'll have 60 or so supercute goody bags ready for givin', total was $100 so that's about $1.67 per bag. (you can get more or less depending on how much you fill the bags & how much you munch while working!)![]()
