Feline Cuisine (cat toys by the 'set')
We have a restaurant supplies place in our city called Boelters which carries packs of take out containers with clear lids. The usual amounts are 150 sets for a good chunk of money, but they did have sets of 50 for $27. I know I couldn't go through 300 but I did get myself a stack of 50 bottoms and lids. I wanted to make a grouping of cat toys for one set price and the take out containers were perfect for a good presentation. The picture is a bit small but this is what it looks like. 
I made up my own labels with the title on it -- Shrimp With Broccoli Feline Cuisine -- and included a picture of a cat, a list of the foods descriptions (shrimp, broccoli florets, rice ball and fortune cookie) and they all filled up the container pretty good.
They wholesale at $5, pretty much $1 per toy, the small broccoli were .50 cents each, and retailed at twice that. Apparently they sell pretty well, everyone loves the 'rice ball' since I used a great fuzzy fabric for that!
I suppose I could do up a home cooked meal kind of set too with chicken leg, mashed potatoes and corn on the cob or such. Or a bakery selection with éclairs. What the whole point to it is that the person gets to buy a set of coordinating cat toys for their kitty. And so far it's gotten good feedback. I've already gone through my entire first stack of take out containers. Yeay!
