Putting Together a little Something for the Grands!

We are long-distance grandparents and try hard to use everything at our disposal to stay in touch and foster a relationship with our grands.

One of the things we do is send them things through the mail ... they love getting G & G (grandma and grandpa) mail.

While we don't go in for the scary aspect of Halloween, we do put together a little something for them and send it on their ways this time of the year ...

These little baggies of goodies will surely bring a smile to their precious faces and let them know that grandma and grandpa are wishing them a happy Halloween.  We also included a little mad money with instructions to their parents to take them to their favorite 'happy meal' place on Halloween!

Contents of the bags ...

a few pieces of candy

pumpkin stickers and

small glow sticks

That's it!  It didn't cost a lot of money, and it sure was fun planning and putting together!

The bags I buy in bulk about every other year at a non-electric Mennonite store and the ribbon was purchased after Halloween a couple or more years ago on a clearance sale.  I likely paid $.10 to a quarter for each roll, and it didn't take a whole roll of any of the colors used.

Last year I made them BOO bags that looked like this ...

I hope this has inspired you!

Until next time ...
