Thanksgiving is my very favorite holiday. I love preparing every bit of our family’s meal (except for the homemade pumpkin pies my sister bakes) and reveling in all the fall details. I even have a binder where I keep track of all of our menu’s and how long the turkey takes to cook. So, if I am that obsessively passionate about cooking then hopefully it might not seem too peculiar to want to send home cute packages of leftovers.
Are Thanksgiving leftovers as big of deal with your family as they are with mine? We all pack little meals to take home and enjoy over the weekend. And then, maybe, another container or two of our most favorites. By the end of the night our fridge is packed with bags containing each of our guests pile of leftovers. This year I decided to purchase big packs of containers to have plenty on hand to fill up…
Then I got out some fabric, stamps, and patterned paper to make those packages a little bit more fun to open later…
Even something as super simple as an office tag, twine or washi tape can quickly make a plain container cuter.
I also designed a little tag that can be printed and punched out to identify what’s packed inside. You can save the tag and print it out as many as you need…
And then don’t forget a bag to tote it all home.
Hope your Thanksgiving is filled with lots of good food, family, and some leftovers too!

Oh how cute!!
These are so cute! And since this is the first Thanksgiving that I don't live at home where I have unlimited access to the leftovers {and by that, I mean stuffing and pie for all three meals}… I need these in my life to bring some home with me!

Hi Courtney and Megan. 🙂 I found all of the containers at Smart and Final.
Love the idea but have never heard of that store…will have to search the stores we do have! Dianntha
smart and final is just a store that sells restaurant and business type products along with groceries. hopefully you have something like that near you! 🙂
I too love the containers-need em just in general…cute way to use the washi and the tiny tags-simple but elegant!

I love this idea! I'd also love to know where I could get that wood grain heart – whether it is a stamp, printable, or something else. Thanks!
The woodgrain heart stamp is made by Savvy Stamps and I ordered it from Impress Cards and Crafts.
