you can do white or brown kraft boxes (get them at nashville wraps.com) and coordinate a whimsical ribbon. You can add a tag made of pretty card stock and cut to size.

I did for my sons upsherin very simple pekalach and looked very pretty. I bought sachet bags and filled it with one color it looked really nice and I put it in a nice basket. u can do any color to match ur color "theme". its no tcute like u want but much classier. good luck

You can get white paper bags, holepunch the corners and thread with string and draw two black lines with a sharpie. Cute and simple and you can even write the upsherin boy's name on the center.

I don't offer advice to people who insult people who try to help them. But that's just me.

If you don't like an idea, there's no need to comment on it.

When I saw this I thought you were making upsherin pekelech for kids with disabilities and were just calling them dummies! LOL

Go to the Jewish grocery or search online for upsherin pekelech bags and fill them with raisins, potato chips, a box of crayons and a water bottle. What more do kids that age need?

It might not be cute but it certainly looks classy and kids don't care about the package anyway, only about the content. Package is for ~~dummies~~ mummies.

Kids getting Peklach do not care if the bag is cute or classy, Only that there is good candy inside. Very Happy

They don''t care if it's classy, but they do like cute colorful designs, such as pekelach bags sold in groceries near me - they're not expensive at all.

I think m23 meant that the brown boxes should be dressed up with a pretty ribbon.

you can get clear or frosted plastic boxes in a variety of shapes (pillow style is my personal favorite) and get stickers printed with the upsherin boy's photo/name/birthdate to put on them, looks adorable with colorful nosh showing through.
or, I've seen people give little blue plastic cereal bowls that come with covers, filled with nosh, covered, turned upside down and decorated with paint markers to look like yarmulkes with the upsherin boy's name on them.
they do sell very cute upsherin-themed printed cellophane bags at jewish groceries and party goods places.
ive also seen little cardboard boxes printed to look like tzitzis.

check these places out for more ideas:
