I made a batch of our favorite dry waffle mix because who doesn’t love a good waffle mix for breakfast! This recipe is seriously amazing and makes the crispest waffles I’ve ever made…I’ll share the recipe with you later, promise!
I placed the mix in a mason jar with some twine, a paper doily, and a simple kraft tag I made using a paper punch. On the backside of the tag I wrote the ingredients needed to make the waffles, just add in and stir…so simple!
We love, love, love using unsweetened coconut flakes at our house. I thought this would be a fun waffle add-in to include….they are soooo good toasted and added in to pancakes or waffle batter…or just to eat plain, yum!
I used a clear food-safe bag, tied it with twine, and placed it in a cute little berry basket I found on Etsy.
I filled food-safe glassine bags with mini chocolate chips and mini marshmallow bits for more fun batter add-ins. Just tape the bags closed with some Washi Tape and they are ready for giving!
I filled two Kraft paper bags with some gourmet tea bags and a packet of Italian Roast coffee…those are definitely breakfast must-haves in my opinion!
Then I clipped each bag with a paper doily, a little tag, and a mini clothespin.
I bought some fun muffin mixes and just wrapped them in a paper doily and twine to make them look fancier then they really are, ha! I also added a few cute paper muffin liners I found over at Pick Your Plum…love that website!
And, since this is Housewarming gift, I included a few Chalkboard Dipped Wooden Spoons using this tutorial.
And a Rustic Chalkboard Easter Egg made using a wood slice from this tutorial here.
Then I packaged everything up in tissue paper and sent it on it’s way.

This is the greatest idea, I love the attention to detail you put on each object, and the Washi tape on food bags is definitely something I am going to be doing from now on! Having just moved cross country with school starting next week, I feel your sister’s pain!
Maggie says
Thank you Meredith! Isn’t wash tape the best!!! Good luck in school and hope you are all moved in and feeling cozy in your new home!
Lindsay says
This is such a great idea! And I love your presentation! I’m going to pull together a package for my brother and sister-in-law who just moved away!
Maggie says
Thanks Lindsay! How sweet, I bet they will love getting a package from you! Doesn’t it stink when family moves so far away?
