I bought a Netflix gift subscription for my dad for Christmas. It's a great gift idea but kind of limiting because all you get is a certificate to print out. So I'm going to wrap the certificate with a bunch of movie night goodies like popcorn, candy, etc. Now I just need to figure out what I should put the goodies in. My mom suggested one of those big popcorn boxes you get at a movie theater, but where would I get one of those besides... at a theater? I want the package to be cute but not too cute, this is my dad and all. Any ideas?
Blockbuster used to sell these buckets of popcorn that had the kernals at the bottom with plastic over them. Maybe you could use one of those?
The other option is you could ask at a movie theater. Most kids working the snack bar are glad to give you an empty bucket if you ask nicely. Esp if you're on your way out of a movie. (Smaller chains/theaters are more likely to give you a bucket, too.)
