Don't be afraid to get creative.  If you have kids, nieces, nephews, grand kids etc - they could even decorate or personalize them for you, or you could find yourself having fun creating your own!  I'm one for packaging everything seperate because I am not one for blended flavours, and kinda picky about it SO glass or plastic locklids are what I find works best for me  I am also one for the Frozen Portions.
