Gift Bag

Look out folks, I'm gettin' creative over here. Better sound the alarms... Martha has some competition...

But, seriously, take a look:

To celebrate one of my colleague's birthday I decided I'd make her some treats, and rather than settle for the gift bag de rigueur, I wanted something different.

I stepped outside 'the bag.'

And came up with the idea to use a trick-or-treat pumpkin ($2.49--roughly the same price as a paper decorative bag). I thought it would be cute, and that my friend could reuse it (as in, probably give it to her 6 year old.)

What, might you ask, do you put into a jack-o-lantern gift bag? Well, you put these into it:

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies, of course!
