tried this at home and had rave review thank you for you idea
i use the plastic ones you can buy quite inexpensively…i think 25 in a “pkg” That way people can take them home with them or i can deliver them to whoever needs a “hug” and not be concerned about getting the containers back! Everyone loves the various mini trifles i have made and given out!
