Yes they were lolly/treat bags, great guess Paulette! I always do these now for birthdays, our Christmas BBQ, Christenings etc. I love to be able to say thanks for our friends and family for making the time and effort to come over and it saves sending out thanks you cards later : ) I generally lay everything out and put the bags together the night before.
And here is a glimpse of some of what I included in the bags- just little Christmas bits and pieces.
These were Flynn’s contribution : ) This was just our basic sugar cookie recipe found here. Once they were bakes we decorated them with green icing and then some Christmas sprinkles.
This was the final product. The red and white stripy bags were for the kids and the paper bags were for the adults : ) I think it is a great way to say thank you to everyone for coming to your event and adults always love a lolly bag !!
Wow well this post turned out to be longer than what I thought but hopefully this gives you some ideas for your own little treats bags.
just gorgeous!!! i would love to receive on of those after visiting
merry christmas
Yay!My boys want a dinosaur party on the holidays. I was thinking something similar, but larger that the children can decorate themselves, and put their arts and crafts in (that er do during the party) to take home!Good job.
They look fantastic Jade – I'm sure your guests will love them!
Gorgeous Jade!Are the little Xmas trees fastening the red & white bags pegs? Did you make them yourself or are they store bought? Very cute!
Hi Shayne : ) I bought them from Spotlight in a pack of three.
These look great Jade. I love the pegs , I might have to use this idea for next years xmas paty, we had our xmas with our friends today and did little organza bags with gold stars filled with Xmas choccies they were a hit.
what a sweet idea – Im sure they will be appreciated by everyone!Merry ChristmasNic xxx

Hi Leah, They are from Kikki-k : ) Jadex
Hi Jade, Just wondered where you found your tray from, been searching for a plain one for awhile. Is it plain base as well?
I think the Little Man and I might have to make some of those cookies to go with our Tim Tam balls christmas puddings. Yum!
Yep the tray is just a plain base. I saw similar ones at Spotlight the other day in white, red and green : )
They look gorgeous!!! May I ask where you got the brown bags from??Thanks so much!!
