Growing up, one of the highlights of my Purim was watching my Uncle Shmuel N. knock down the Haman (and sons) cookies at the end of the day. Every Rosh Chodesh Adar, my aunt Shoshana baked the cookies and hung them from her chandelier, where they dangled until they met their “demise” during al
hanissim.
Whether you use this idea as a centerpiece or hang the cookies from your chandelier, they will definitely create memories that will “hang around” for a while! Bake cookies and decorate them on any level - with chocolate chips, sprinkles, royal icing, fondant, and everything in between!

For years, I've been toying with the idea of a circus-themed Purim Seudah. With all the fun and action in abundance, it would certainly capture the spirit of the day. However, after much research on circus tent centerpieces, I did not have much to show for it. Thankfully, the Stamp Studio was able to carry out  my vision with the creation of these adorable tents featured below. 

Here's a modern twist on the traditional famous Purim hamentashen.

“Reel in” some Purim fun! Don’t worry, this isn’t as fishy as it looks! Fill a fish-design pencil case with some fish-themed items. I used herring, but you can “scale” back and use a tuna pouch instead. Your friends will be hooked. After all, mazal Adar dagim!

I love the versatility of using a pail for packaging. I used pails here to create three entirely different themes. The ideas are endless! You can design a wrapper yourself, use a professional graphic artist, or simply line the pail with pretty scrapbooking paper.

Plastic tubes are inexpensive and can be used in various ways. Insert a simple paper to create a finished and professional look.

 Less headache as to how to package cream cheese frosted muffins-more fun for the recipient as they get to decorate their very own muffins.

Who doesn’t love to see or hear a good quote?!?!?

Cute, funny and cheerful quotes lift spirits and make people happy. What better time is there than Purim to  make people smile?

Use multiple  quotes as presented here, or choose one quote to build your Mishloach Manos around.

Paired with these zesty  pita chips and beautifully packaged in these neat jars, the “what am I, chopped liver” expression, may become a thing of the past!

What’s more fun than an adorable family of little girls?

My daughter’s all-girl bond was the inspiration for this ballet slipper mishloach manos. You can fill the box with anything you choose and then seal it with a chocolate square. Pirouette, anybody?
