How to wrap food gifts in easy, but a special way. These gift bags can also be used when giving food gifts to a hostess, family or friends.
Last week I stirred things up at my house by having a midweek dinner party to say good-bye to a few good friends.
We didn’t let the state of our house – “moving box decor” stop us. It felt nice in the midst of packing up the house to take some time out for one last get-together with neighbors who over the course of 22 years have become dear friends.
All I needed to do was get a few serving dishes and pots out which have not been packed up yet to heat up a few frozen starters, side dishes and entrees in no time. No cooking from scratch needed.
My friends brought the wine, a salad, and a dessert. I made place cards on my computer and printer to mark what each entree being served on the island was.
If you have leftovers, send your guests home with them in style with these Asian inspired leftover carry home bags.
How to Make Leftover Carry Home Bags or Gift Bags
These doggie bags also are a fun way to give food gifts to your friends and family.
supplies needed:
- paper lunch bags
- chopsticks
- paper hole punch
- computer printouts with names of food items. I used the font: Graphite Std Bold Wide
- paper cutter
1. Open bag and fold top half over 1 – 2 inches.
2. Using a paper hole punch, punch two holes in the fold as shown in the photo above.
3. Slide chopstick through holes to close bag.
Optional: Create simple tags with the names of the food items you prepared by printed them using your computer, printer and paper cutter or scissors.
4. Punch a hole in one end of the tag and slide over chopstick.
5. Place an Asian takeout style container that you can buy at the crafts store inside the bag full of the leftovers with a set of chopsticks.
Now your guests can take home any leftovers in style.

I have never heard of WokWednesday! However, I have one of the P.F. Chang dinners in my freezer right now, so I think I’ll serve that for supper tonight. Who needs an excuse to celebrate, right?
Yep…Life is too short not to celebrate more often. Ofthe entrees I bought, I liked the Honey Chicken the best. Enjoy your dinner. :-)
Love the take home packaging! I think I will do thanksgiving style ones.
Love this and I would have a neighborhood get together. Our neighborhood isn’t that big and we love a good excuse to get together.
That is such a GREAT IDEA! Maybe I’d have a “mama party”… which is where are the ladies from playgroup or tennis or school or maybe everyone! get together for a kid-free, wine and giggles filled night.
I would have my daughter and fiancee over for a fun meal!
