Wow, we're truely among serious talent here...I knew that already but it needs to be stated!
So here's a question--where do some of these people get such cute containers for the cookie bouquets? I've searched online for stuff like that and haven't found anything cute enough but cheap enough. I've just been using 39 cent clay pots!
Why yes!!!!
We should start a whole different thread about packaging ideas!!!
A bakery packaging pageant!
What thoughts do you all have re: "cheap" cookie containers. I use clay
pots, dollar store containers on sale, and mugs.
I've seen paint cans used. Here are some ideas for decorating them.

i love tip junkie! Such a great place for ideas!
I look everywhere for containers/baskets-party stores, dollar stores, garden stores, and hardware stores(empty paint cans and silver buckets)
I try to shop off season so now is a great time to look for planters, pots and such. Stock up after every holiday and you can find things up to 75% off.
Like yankeegal, we purchase at the end of a season for the following year's season when the items are discounted up to 75-80% off. Also try Old Time Pottery if near you. They have interesting product lines that you won't find in Joann's/Michaels/Dollar Store/Walmart type places.

Do you have pics of these? they sound great
You can kinda see them in my cookie gallery www.wordofmouthcookieco.com. Most of the boxes are covered up by the tissue paper, but they are about 8" square and 3" deep.
