This is is the time of year I spend a lot of time baking. I love making Christmas cookies, chocolates and more! Although we of course keep some for ourselves, what I love most is to give them to family and friends. The only problem is...I've never come up with a great way to package them up so they make a nice gift for people. Thankfully, Rubbermaid and Sharpie have got me covered this year!
If you're looking for a unique, fun, creative, personalized gift to share with the ones you love, Rubbermaid and Sharpie have come up with a great idea! Simply make up a batch of your favorite cookies, fudge or other goodie and package them up in a Rubbermaid TakeAlong decorated with some Sharpie Markers!
If you're not familiar with 15 pk Rubbermaid TakeAlongs, here's a little info for you:
- Contains the perfect variety of sizes to suit everyday storage uses including sandwiches, leftover, crafts, gifts and yummy goodies
- Every container has the Quik Clik Seal that ensure the lid clicks in place to secure the contents
- The bases have graduation marks for easy measuring and the lids are ridged for easier stacking
- Priced right so there is no worry about giving them away or accidentally losing them
- The containers are microwave, top rack dishwasher and freezer safe
- TakeAlongs are available Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, grocery stores, drug stores and clubs.
- 15 piece set of TakeAlongs
- Sharpie Stainless Steel Permanent Marker
- Set of 8 Sharpie Retractable Markers
- Set of 3 Sharpie Pen Retractables
- 2 Sharpie Paint Markers (Silver and Gold)
When I told Kaelyn we were going to sit down and make gifts for people, she couldn't have been more excited. She helped me decorate several of the Rubbermaid TakeAlongs and even my hubby got involved.
I really enjoyed trying out the different Sharpies....especially the Sharpie Retractable Permanent Markers. The red and green colors really helped make our packages that much more unique and Christmasy looking. Here's a little information about each Sharpie product:
Sharpie Retractable Permanent
- Easy, one-handed operation.
- Assorted set of eight Fine Point colors let you click away with the color of your
- choice.
- Available wherever office products are sold
- The first-ever refillable Sharpie with a sleek, stainless steel barrel, etched logo,
- and Fine Point tip
- Black ink keeps your marks simple and chic
- Available wherever office products are sold
- For everyday writing that won’t bleed through paper with one-hand click convenience.
- Available in three colors: red, black, blue.
- Available wherever office products are sold
Win It: One lucky reader is going to win a Sharpie and Rubbermaid Holiday Gift pack which includes a 15 piece set of TakeAlongs, a Sharpie Stainless Steel Permanent Marker, set of 8 Sharpie Retractable Markers and a set of 3 Sharpie Pen Retractables.

Very nice! My favorite treat to make for the holiday's are oreo cake balls, and chocolate chip cookies! We plan to bake for our families and some friends. My fiance and I are on a tight budget so winning this would enable us to decorate some containers to put the cookies in and help us save some money! Thanks for the opportunity.
