I am hosting my 2nd cookie exchange this year. Last year I gave away large baskets for everyone to carry home their cookies in. It was my gift to them. They were fairly inexpensive and I embelished them with Christmas ribbons. I would like to do something different this year, but I'm having a hard time finding something suitable. They need to hold about 5 doz. cookies each and costs $5.00 each or less. Any ideas?  |

What about going to a store that sells boxes for cakes. Place a dollie in each one and possibly write their name on the top. Also, check out the dollar stores for containers.
