While fresh in everyone's mind can you please recommend classic and inexpensive mishloach manos . Something you could see yourself giving each year if you don't want to re-invent the wheel each year.

Also a recommendation for something to give teachers and those we want to show hakoras hatov to particularly that LOOKS impressive and substantial but actually doesn't cost that much.

Mostly looking for recommendations with packaged foods since they are easier and IMO more certainty that people will use them. (Or possibly repackaging some time of candy or chocolate). But not interested in including homebaked goods.

Also something non perishable that can be packed well in advance.

Hope to get lots of good ideas here!

In a shallow basket: stand a bottle of wine/grape juice (mini is fine) and a package of water rolls in the 2 back corners. Lean a bar of decent kosher lepesach chocolate in front of them. Wrap nicely with cellophane.

Somebody gave us a little tin with chocolate liqueur and individually wrapped chocolates. Yum! The chocolates were KLP so they're being set aside. The liqueur we had with dessert at the seudah.

I’ve made liquor
Give it in small bottles with chocolates

I wanted to do this but couldn't find leak-proof small (2-4oz) bottles. Where did you purchase yours?

made in advance and no need for refrigeration
fancy gold wine bottle bag with drink inside can be wine, or any other drink that fits with fancy gold small bag filled with candy draped on neck
label
voila! can be inexpensive-- elegant easy and fulfills the mitzvah

I got some very pretty mishliach manos that we oohed about how pretty it was. But I would never give it bec I give real food.

Example: square plastic box (very cheap thin type but pretty) rectangle thin box inside with line of large colored gum balls that fit perfectly. Thin shmerling chocolate. And a square cellphone bag of repackaged caramel popcorn.
The whole pkg was beautiful.

I give Morahs every year reg size grape juice and good quality pesach choc bar in cellophane bag.

If you go for real food, I've gotten a square box with a package of Melba toast, a 2 oz guacamole and a 2 oz chummus, and some grape tomatoes.
Also a plastic box (takeout style.). A nice napkin, 1 bagel, single serving of butter or cream cheese, grape tomatoes and a mini orange juice.

If you're ok with more nosht, the classic I've gotten is a box of mini wafer rolls or individually wrapped danish with mini grape juice or boxed iced cappuccino.
Packaged in half-size mesh or paper wine bags.
These are great because they're shelf stable and can be packaged a few days in advance.

Yes, I looked there. Nothing that I found that was food grade also said leak proof.

Do you have a link?
