Anyone have any recommendations for a simple nicely packaged MM? I have to make a lot so I’m not too crazy about baking. I was thinking maybe yogurt with granola or soup and croutons but I don’t know how to package nicely plus how I can assemble before hand.
I live oot, so if you have any links to specific containers where I could order online, that would be great! Also, where can I order inexpensive custom stickers? Thank you!

Love both of those ideas, I would do it in Mason jars n put it in your fridge the night before.
Or you can do cut up veggies with ranch.

I do rolls and dips every year. I ususally make the dips too, but this year I think I'm going to buy sabra chummus singles and put some olives into a container to cut down on even more prep time, especially since dips cant be made too far in advance. I put the rolls in clear self-seal cellophane bags. Put everything in craft paper boxes with some paper grass on the bottom, stick a label on it and done.

Following.
Any simple MM that can be made/prepared ahead of time? I’m due Purim time so I’d like to prepare within the next week. I can’t rely on fresh foods.

Huh? There's still a mitzvah to give 1...
Be careful that you're sending 2 foods, and not 1 food and 1 tafel item. Croutons that go in soup I wouldn't think is considered "choshuv" enough to count as the second food item.

A local school does a fundraiser purim time. You pay $5 per person you want to send shalach manos. They send one shalach manos to each person with the names of the people who are sending to them. For example, if 6 people send to mr. X, mr x gets a nice shalach manos with all 6 names.
We usually do that and then choose an additional one or 2 people to give to personally.

I know I’m not mechuyav. But if it’ll be enough before or after the baby and we’ll be home, I’ll want some MM to reciprocate.

I’m planning on making 25 and then re-packaging if I need more
In a wine bag I’m putting a mini bottle of beer, a hamantash pre-pack, pistachio nuts, candies
I will sub a bottle of grape juice for those that I know can not have alcohol
Everything except the beer I got from amazon
I only give pre-packed stuff and I live OOT.
If I got home made stuff it would go to the garbage. Sorry but it’s the truth.
Also, I went on vista print and made personalized business cards to use as tags
I made them super modern/fancy
I will tape them on the outside of the bags

I ordered elegant empty plastic juice bottles from Amazon and will fill them with homemade iced coffee. I got customized stickers from Vista Print to stick on, and will tie together with a coordinating chocolate bar. Pretty easy, looks classy, and cost is about $3/each.
The mishpacha had a recipe with soup in similar plastic bottles, customized labels and tied with breadsticks. Looked yumm.

Our ideas for simple MM that can be prepared ahead of time :
1. When life gives you lemons : plastic pitcher , small water bottle , sugar packets , plastic wrapped hamantash , 2 lemons added a day before
2. Have a very beary , beery , berry purim : package of chocolate bears, bottle or can of beer, package of strawberry looking candy and wrapped hamantash.
3. Fishes / Adar : can of tuna, pack of shells noodles , bottle of water , pack of jelly fishes and wrapped hamantash , all wrapped in net like plastic, like the one flowers are wrapped.
4. 5 oclock tea - british tea packets, british tea bisquits , small jar of preserve , pic of Buckingham palace with purim greeting on it

Sure. There's all different sizes and styles, but this is what I got:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.....title
I printed gold labels from VistaPrint, but if you have a printer you can make something nice yourself.

These are so creative!
I just want to reiterate what Hashem_Yaazor posted above about having two substantial minim. For example, in #1, the water doesn't count as a min, the sugar packets aren't a min, the lemons may very well not be a min (because you don't eat them on their own), and then you're left with a hamantash as your mishloach manos. Similarly in #4, the tea bags aren't a min, the preserves aren't a min (because they're only eaten together with something else) and you're left with only the tea biscuits. (In #3, the noodles and water don't count, but you should be good, at least if the portions of jelly fish or hamantash are big enough.)

I send Greek yogurts (2) with packaged granola. This year I found a nut mix on sale so giving that instead. I have a second fridge so for me it’s easy to do in advance. (I already bought the yogurts at a great sale). I just package in a cellophane bag with pretty ribbon and label and cute widen spoons because I don’t like spending on packaging.
Many years I’ll look out for which yogurts are in sale. One year gave a fancy chocolate yogurt with choc bar.
This link showed a nice way to package yogurt. https://betweencarpools.com/wa.....tion/
Another yogurt idea: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/...../#amp

If you're really in a rush, you can just give fruit. One of my favorite shaloch manos that I received was a banana and another fruit. One of my son's favorites was a small applesauce with a small candy. One of my daughter's
favorites was an ice cream cone prepared with ice cream with a cookie. The main thing is not to stress.

I should add as well, I'm not sure if the iced coffee counts as a second type of food. I am also making a cheeseboard mishloach manos so I will be yotzei with that. I ordered a wooden cheese board on Amazon, and iyH will put 2 types of nice cheeses, crackers/flatbreads, honey, almonds and grapes/dried mango. This is obviously more expensive so only giving 1 of these.
