A Creative Gift Idea: Popcorn and All Things Popcorn

Of course life is bizarre, the more bizarre it gets, the more interesting it is. The only way to approach it is to make yourself some popcorn and enjoy the show. (David Gerrold)

I’m serious. It really is Popcorn Poppin’ Month again! The Popcorn Board encourages every American to “celebrate National Popcorn Poppin’ Month with those you love.” Have you run out of really creative ideas to celebrate the month? Too much of “been there, done that”? Sure, you could take the easy way out; and purchase another Popcorn Tin and just call it a day. But, where’s the love - the energy - the spark of creativity in that?

It isn’t too late to make a gift basket for that special someone in your life. Though, you don’t necessarily need to use a basket. Use an empty popcorn tin, a bucket, a gift bag or a theater popcorn container. It would be best to choose the items you want to include and then pick the container.

So, let’s get those ideas poppin’! Here’s a short list of items that truly celebrate every kernel:

Microwave Popping Corn
Bag of popping corn
Jiffy popping corn
A popcorn popper
Popcorn Fork with built in salt shaker
Fancy Napkins (cloth or paper)
