Rubbermaid TakeAlongs & Sharpie For The Holidays - Giveaway!

'Tis the season for baking cookies, and bringing home holiday party leftovers too!


If you're like me, and whipping up batches of cookies and fudge to give as presents and hostess gifts this holiday season, you know it can be tough to figure out how to present your goodies and make them look good, while not worrying about whether you are going to get your nice containers back, or spending a fortune on new containers to give away. That's where Rubbermaid TakeAlongs come in! They are cheap to purchase - you can even find 2 or 3 packs at places like the Dollar Store for just $1! - and the gift recipient can re-use them for storing holiday leftovers in them when the cookies or fudge have been all gobbled up!

The Rubbermaid TakeAlongs even have a "Quik Clik" Seal so that the lids stay in place after being closed - which is great if you are shipping your gifts, or if you are doing a lot of traveling - you won't have to worry about your TakeAlongs opening in the car. There is even a convenient 15 pack available so you have a variety of sizes to package different things in. All of the containers are dishwasher safe (top rack), microwaveable, and freezer safe too, so no matter what food item you're planning to store in them, you should be alright.

If you are willing to share your favorite recipe you're whipping up to gift, pick up some card stock and Sharpie markers in different colors, and decorate to your hearts content! You can also use the Sharpies to write the date the food item was packaged up on the Rubbermaid containers and decorate them, too.
