I'm cheaping out and making stuff for folks this year. I've gotten to be pretty good at making pasta, so I thought that would be one gift. I also have a dehydrator, so I can dry up the noodles.
They aren't excessively fragile, but if I just tie a bow around a bunch of long noodles, they aren't gonna make it (some have to drive a long distance, and one set has to fly in a box). So my next thought is some long cylinderical glass containers. That sounds very nice, but the whole point is to cheap out, and I'm thinking if I go to Michaels, these are going to go from $4-10+ a pop (and I'm gifting to 4 families). And even then I'd consider it, but the chances of this container being appreciated after the pasta is gone is probably pretty low - so I don't want to spend anything that's going to get chucked or clutter up someone's house for no good reason.
Any other ideas?
