Im doing truffles for xmas presents for my kids teachers and scout leaders etc...
What can you suggest that I package these in to make them look nice?

I use a round of clear heavy plastic - heap them on and then bind with a nice ribbon and add a small card before tying it.

You could get some mini patty cases in red & green (or any colour really) to place each truffle in. Also then you could put them in nice little boxes tied with a ribbon and a little card. That would seem a lovely gift if I were on the receiving end. Lovely idea to do truffles for the teachers and others by the way!

I make fudge and purchase cellophane bags - and put them in there with a ribbon...
but I like mortleg-gl's idea better

Last year the supermarket had square plastic plates (with the other paper plates etc).They came in 3 sizes I think and the smallest (sort of pudding bowl size), was great for 'token' gifts.I put in plastic bags and tied with curly ribbon.

Sheets of coloured cellophane are available at book-stores and the greeting card sections in supermarkets, The Warehouse, etc.. cut it into squares, place your goodies in the centre, then bring the corners together and tie just above the goodies with curling ribbon.. you can use your fingers to shape the ends into a nice not-crunched style.. red or green looks great for Christmas gifts..

you can get glass circles from gift shops for about $2 i use these to stick my xmas mini pudds etc on as they end up safer than a collapsing selephane tray, all the time and effort you put into making them you dont want them damaged in the school bags etc, they are just a glass round the warehouse have them as well

I made Gingerbread gift boxes the other day, and thinking about making some for christmas to put truffles in.Obviously a bit more work than buying some packaging, but it looks really cool, gingerbread is 'christmassy' and it's not too much harder than making biscuits with rolled out dough.
