Simple, neat, and to the point, these wine bottle boxes make a terrific addition to any bottle of wine, schnapps, or even water! They can be filled with so many different things, from candy and nuts to chocolate, beef jerky, cookies — you name it! Top it off with a fun mini hat for a funky Purim look. You can also purchase extra hats to place on all the wine bottles at your Purim seudah!

You will need:

• bottle of wine, schnapps, water, etc. (The water bottle pictured here is from B&B Party Goods in Lakewood.)
• wine bottle boxes (widely available — I purchased these from Amazon and Nashvillewraps.com)
• assorted candy or nuts, mini cookies, etc.
• mini hats (available on Amazon — search “mini sombreros,” “mini felt hats,” “tea party hats for little girl,” and “mini hat clips”)

Fill wine bottle boxes with candy, nuts, or any nosh of your choice. Place over your bottle.

Add a coordinating hat.

Note: I couldn’t resist the “Man with the Yellow Hat”! That particular hat came in a package of assorted colors, used here as an example of how to coordinate with a costume or use at your seudah.
