I need help coming up with something nice, cute, not too expensive that I can send for MM - but DH doesn't let me bake! Basically I went into labor very early last time I made a bunch of cookie baskets for all my sisters in law and he is scared of me having a major baking blitz.
we are new to town so need to send nice stuff but not too major.
also - DD #1 is being a ladybird/ centipede so if anything can match with that... DD #2 will be whatever outfit she hasn't spat up on by the time we go delivering!! thanks!!!

Does DH mind if you cut up fruit or do other arranging? You can use frosting to glue together cookies in shapes llike houses . . with straberries inside . .

You can make veg salads or fruit salads ..always appreciated.

Fill wine glasses w/ colorful candy, put it in a clear bag w/ wine, tie w/ a colorful/ silver ribbon (can add purple grass if you want)
Nice basket, pretty napkin, fill w/ wine and grapes,
Pretty plate/ basket fill w/ fruit and hamantashan,(maybe you can find a basket/ plate/ cup w/ a garden scene to match your dd,
a box of chocolate and a hamantash.
Choclate dipped pretzels with colorful fruit / candy..............................
You can really get creative w/ the containers............

Why do you need to bake anything?
Since when do MM need to entail so much work?
MM can consist of a bottle of beer and bag of pretzels and/or peanuts. If you want to make it "fancy" put it in a large beer glass.

Personally, I'm soooo sick of people that put the MM inside of a glass or include a mug or some other type of non-disposable package. At first it's cute, but who needs so many extra glasses?

Whatever happened to SIMPLE MM? Can't you just buy a can of coke, candy bar, and small package of cookies and put it inside a brown paper bag?

hope I can describe this well - buy those clear disposable decorators (for frosting) bags - take 1 bag put hot cocoa powder in tie it up place in second bag - now put mini marshmellows & choc chips on top - then tie up with pretty ribbon and give it out with a cup to make it in or some cookies (bought) to eat with it - looks like an ice cream cone -

She’s right – youdon’t have to “prove” anything with your MM. They don’t define youy as a person!
