This year we only have a couple of graduation parties. Usually I like to fill up a laundry basket with things a new college student would need (tylenol, alarm clock, paper, etc...) but that won't work this year as one is graduating college and the other isn't going on to college. So, I've decided to just make up cookie bouquets and throw some $$$ in a card. Don't like to give just cash. Anyways, I'm thinking of doing just traditional grad cookies...maybe some stars, diploma, caps, etc...but I'm stumped on what to put the bouquet in. Any good container ideas? TIA.

a coffee cup with a saying about studying or maybe their school logo? Or one of those crockery jars that say "college fund" or something like that?

I'm using a chinese take out style box that is decorated with little graduation hats. I've made one and have one more to go. I found it at A.C. Moore for only $1.00.

Thanks for the ideas! I think I will have to make a run to the store and see if I can find a couple of take out boxes...I'm looking for cheap (yet cute). Thanks again. Jodie

I used a terra cotta pot in the one in my pics..I know- not too original- but I painted it black- and it was cheap!

How about omitting the sticks for the bouquet and individually wrapping each cookie and placing it in like a trinket box or a nice lunch bag that they can use at work..........
