Here's how we did it on the cheap: I bought glass cookie jars (yep the ones that look like the jars your grandma had in her kitchen) at JoAnn Fabrics and Michaels using the 40% off coupons they have every week on the front of their flier. I purchased two each trip and made a trip about once per week until I had 8 of them. Seems like a lot of work but I really didn't have to do much, just stopped on my way home or at lunch. Then we had 8 of our closest family and friends pick their favorite cookie to make or eat, and they made about 48 half-dollar sized cookies. We had my grandma who LOVES to bake make up the rest. Then we labeled the jars with "Aunt Mindy's Chocolate Supreme" etc. We put out Chinese takeout boxes which we bought for 15 cents apiece at the local Chinese restaurant. The family loved being a part of the day and the guests loved the cookies!
