I am now ready to present the sample wedding favors I made last night and early today, using the materials we bought at Chocolate Lovers yesterday.
Our inspiration? Ferrero Rocher chocolates!
We’re not really big fans of these but we do love getting them as gifts hehe!
Here are the choco balls, ready for their dress up!
Armed with the plastic square boxes, I came up with this:
Prototype #1: I placed 9 choco balls in the mini-box which is just right, but my mom said it looks "bitin" . Especially since the top cover is still too far from the base so you can see the empty space in between.
Prototype #2: What I did was I literally "popped" the plastic base upward using my hands so that its convex-shaped mold is turned into a concave-shaped one. When I placed the chocolates there (adding 4 more, making it 12 choco balls instead of 9), the top cover no longer looked "too high" from the base of the mini-box.
Side-view of Prototype #2:
See? The "dome" doesn’t look so high anymore.
Packaging the little box went easy. I just used the left-over monogram stickers we have, and some of the silver ribbon we bought at Chocolate Lovers, to come up with this:
Yikes! I made a photoshop blunder, hence the choco balls look "jaundish" instead of "shimmery gold".
And the cost? Here’s a rough estimate:
– Mini square box – P3.50
– Chocolates (about P0.87 for each choco ball, if bought wholesale) – P10.44 for 12 chocoballs
– Ribbon (each roll is 33 yards long and I can already make 139 pcs. of 8.5-inch ribbons with it) = P0.43
– Sticker paper and printing (cost is negligible since I’m using left over monogram stickers)
Total = P14.37 or P15.00 per give-away! Yehehey!
What do you think? We are liking prototype #2 better than #1, how about you?
![[ Long story ahead] π Yesterday evening we checked on GG2 and found that 2 kitties were missing. We don't know where she put them because her area is already fenced to avoid the kitties from wandering off.
Turned out we are now at that stage where the momma cat is transferring her kitties because: (a) the birthing box has gotten too small for them though we put them out of the box already and fenced the area, (b) the area is dirty and OC si GG2, or (c) the area is too exposed and too bright for them.
After looking around with flashlight, we found the 2 kitties under the other plant stand just outside our door, walking at different directions and if not for the flashlight ay baka natapakan ko na π¬ We hurriedly put them back in their original box muna with their other siblings, and placed kraft paper in this potential '2nd home' under the plant stand in case GG2 transfers them again.
True enough, she transferred them back there - at midnight. We woke up this morning at the sound of meowing GG2. She is telling us that her babies want breakfast na so it's time to feed her as well π
Now I know why nag lipat bahay sya. Gusto pala nya mas malapit sya sa amin π Isang sigaw or meow meow lang nya, nakasilip na kme sa kanya π.
Haaayz, who knew that having a momma cat and newborn kitties would be this stressful - and entertaining π
