Anyone?
TIA

Your majesty, this Purim theme
Seems to cause you stress!
Can, I, perhaps, poor subject
Endeavor to clear up the mess?

Do you need an idea
To make your package a bit more trim
While maintaining the standard
Of "Al Shulchan Melachim"?

Are you stuck for contents
That won't leave your treasury bare?
Are you trying for a bit more simple
That won't make everyone stare?

Or is it the packaging
That leaves you in a tizzy
To ensure not every servant
Will need with it to be busy?

May I suggest, your highness
That on a crimson velvet stand
You place a bottle of wine
The finest in the land

Surround it by gilded chocolates
And other metal-wrapped sweets
To symbolize the gemstones
That are lying at your feet

Wrap it with finest plastic
And affix your royal seal
Add a note, saying "Happy Purim!
Please enjoy this at your meal."

Your subjects will be most grateful
At this stunning show of grace
And will surely show utmost honor
When they chance to see your face.

When my sister's kids were kings and a princess, she did something really beautiful.
She loves crafting and being creative.
She took a bottle of grape juice/ sparkling grape juice/wine, depending on recipient, and wrapped a small piece of velvet, trimmed with gold as a cape. She then put a gold cardboard "crown" on the cover.
She hung a few small mesh bags filled with I don't remember on the bottle.
Was a sweet and royal look.

Any cookies with “royal” icing
Chocolate coins
Candy rings
Wrap a grape juice bottle in a purple velvet or felt cape with gold ribbon . Top the cover with a mini gold crown.

You can purchase those gold plastic crowns colored jewels and put it on a round plate for a base , then stuff the opening of the crown with purple , red or royal blue tissue paper . Place the food items on top of the tissue paper. Wrap in cellophane and gold and purple, royal blue or red ribbon.

You can also do a treasure box with chocolate coins, candies that look like “gems” , candy jewelry and write something about Achashveirosh offering “Ad Chatzi Hamalchus”.

Those are amazing ideas. Thank you. (I was hoping you would read this thread and help out Hi Not worthy [there's no thank you emoji??])
My earlier post was for the 2 before you.
Thanks again.

Update:
I actually found a great container with crowns on it.
What should I put inside? Besides jewel themed candy etc?
It's not really purim story kings and queens, more general...
Thanks!

Any other ideas for this thread?

Op- can you link the container you found?

I was thinking of a gold mini pouch with chocolate coins inside and maybe a gold plastic necklace chain. I’d rather not give out a glass bottle of anything (so I don’t have to worry about it breaking)

When my kids were English queen & drum soldiers I did that, plus tea bags, drums made from large marshmallow dipped in choco & red crystals & thin pretzel rods for drum sticks.

Packaging was a gold tray box holding 3 clear squares. Each item was in different box. I placed a pic of my queen in center box & soldiers at two sides. From box tray there were two ribbons coming over the clear boxes into a bow. In center of boe I placed a foil wrapped crown shaped choco.

The entire packaging came together. I bought it by Toys 4 U.

I did that theme quite a few years ago, so forgive my vague recollections.

I used cardboard/paper treasure chests from a place like Oriental Trading, fluffed it up with red tissue paper, and put in some gold coins and a mini crown royal, IIRC. (It's expensive though - was my budget that generous? I don't remember...)

I also made (or bought?) mini round cake pops covered in gold sprinkles on a stick, as a "scepter."

When my dd was queen I bought treasure boxes online (cardboard ones) filled them with gold coins. The. I added a lucite box with a 3D cookie crown (they had advertised how to make it then in the family first)... cant remember if I added anything else, wud have to check my pics for that if u want... but I remember it being very royal
