Packaging Sweet Gifts for Friends

​Our Coles in WA has introduced cellophane type bags where you pick your bread and then put it in the bag yourself. I saved the bags, which are see through and despite having COLES printed on them. I also save meat and vegetable trays. I wash them thoroughly, expecially the rectangular plastic meat trays with a bit of edge, similar to a small lamington tin. Then, when I bake some muffins or cake or biscuits or scones and I want to share with friends or neighbours I put them on the tray and slip them into the cellophane bag. They look really pretty, they are clean the wrapping doesn't cost anything. Also, your friends don't have to worry about returning plates or trays. My friends all know now that they weren't bought at Coles even though when first seeing "Coles Bakery" written on the bag I did get the comment "I never saw those at MY Coles!"
