This is when I brainstorm for next year but didn't see anything really original or adorable this year.

Did you?

Would love to see if my theme came up here but I didn't give to too many people to begin with and many aren't likely to post here...

I saw a pic on Facebook of a family dressed up as Ups deliverers and their mishloach manos were in authentic looking Amazon prime boxes. I liked it since getting Amazon packages delivered to my house is my fave!

My baby 😀

I just realized you said theme. I thought you said thing.

In that case it was my cousins dressed up as Wendy and john and their baby girl dressed up as Michael. Coincidentally, my baby was Peter Pan.

Funniest I saw was someone put together a series of tweets from Donald Trump as if he was reacting to the Purim story. It was hysterical!

I got a shaloch manot that was really creative.
The theme was when life gives you lemons
The container was a glass jar with the spout on the bottom, for lemonade.
Inside was Country Time lemonade mix, lemon cookies, lemon candies and gummies, a stack of yellow cups, yellow and white stripe straws, napkins with lemon motif, a lemon squeezer, a long wooden spoon and 2 lemons.
The note was simple
When life gives you lemons
Make lemonade
Purim Sameach from the ------ family.

Most creative costume
2 teenage sisters dressed up as black and white. One was all in black, the other all in white. They held a big and half black and half white.
Don't know if their Shaloch Manot matched their costume.

In my opinion the prize for the most used theme was Dr Seuss. I got at least 8 with that theme. (Mg apologies if that was yours. It was cute just a lot of people used it.)

Family dressed as yeshiva bacurim and seminary girls. Tzitzis flying, girls in long skirts and pink oxford shirts, high ponies. They looked adorable

Not a theme but I thought this was very cute. One of my friends took those mason jars that have a handle like a mug, and layered in hot cocoa mix in the bottom, layers of chocolate chips, marshmallows and cookies. Instructions said to remove everything but cocoa mix,and fill mug with hot water, add chips and top with marshmallows, drink with cookies. The layers looked pretty and it was something different.

Cookies, marshmallows and chocolate chips are all ready to eat. The fact that one might use them as an ingredient doesn't change that.

Sorry, I saw it in someone's home that I was visiting. I can't remember exactly, but imagine using real things Trump said and applying it to the Purim story. Like calling Vashti a nasty woman and Haman a bad sick man and saying impolite things about Esther and comparing Esther's beauty to Ivanka. Oh, and comparing himself to Achashverosh with his ego coming out on top.
