Fresh Eggs & Target Dollar Bins Packaging

By ,

Our chickens have been enjoying the sunny weather and have decided it's time to kick it into high gear. Which means, we'll be giving away plenty of fresh eggs in the very near future. 
And, as many of you know, I adore packaging. Simple, inexpensive packaging even more so.

Whenever I pop into Target for random essentials, I try not to go through their dollar bins (which they strategically place at the front entrance) for obvious reasons but….I noticed these pine wooden boxes and thought they would be perfect for the eggs. Que the scene where I pile my red shopping cart up with every last one they had.

I knew all they would need is a nest of fresh hay in the bottom and maybe a simple tag tied with butchers twine. The natural color of everything looked very organic….me likey.

This is now the stage where I proceeded to take about 75 photos of said eggs in boxes. Multiples of every conceivable angle and depth of field. I rarely take so many but I suppose I was inspired.

I put a few in collages so you wouldn't be scrolling through my post until next week. 😉

I'm sure these boxes would come in handy for other uses…maybe inside a pantry for small goods, tucked in a dresser drawer for jewelry or to corral all those little craft and sewing items. Why, I bet Pinterest has a thousand ways to DIY them!

    Love, love, love these! Now I have to go to Target!

    Me too! I didn’t even realize they were $3 until I peeled off the price tags. Target is really sneaky by putting in items that are more than $1. Still, I thought they were reasonable for gifting my eggs since those are “nearly free” daily. 🙂

    Hi Heather,
    Please pin on Pinterest soon, so WE can re-pin.
    What a simple and beautiful idea! The feathers are the perfect touch!

    Lol! I spent hours last night reading through your posts about your chicken keeping adventures and your amazing coop and by the end of the night, after discussing with hubby, I had ordered 7 baby chicks to be delivered in May for our backyard coop in process. You are truly an inspiration!

    These are just so pretty I was in Target and started to grab some Easter basket things but realized it’s still February.

    Love the pics of the fresh eggs. I just received some fresh eggs from my parents’ neighbor who is having so much fun with her flock of chickens. She said she chose her chickens for their beauty, not their egg laying ability.

    I wish I had chickens just so I could make these cute little boxes 🙂 Great spring inspiration as we reach the end of this long winter.

    Wish I was lucky enough to receive that pretty little box with those pretty little eggs! I’m thinking about what type of Easter gift I could do with those perfect boxes for our teachers! Any ideas? Maybe I need to get me some cute chickens;)

    Your eggs and photos are amazing!! I found galvanize pails in their dollar bins last year! Thank you for sharing. Wish I was your neighbor.

    Heather,
    What colorful eggs. How clever to package some so beautifully and share them with your friends and neighbors. I love the images and the little feathers in each carefully packaged box.

    I love the wooden boxes, especially filled with your beautiful fresh eggs! What a lovely gift this would be. (I wish I could go to Target today to pick some of these up… I think the only thing I miss living in the country is frequent trips to Target!)

    Oh so pretty! I wish I could convince my hubby that we need chickens.

    Heather,
    This is such an amazing idea! I know I am going to use this for quick gifts, though I may have to improvise on the fresh eggs… as I do not have chickens… maybe some fresh homemade baked goods instead.

    Actually I have used one of your lovely egg crate pictures for my backdrop on my computer. What a wonderful picture to look at before I start my dreaded day of work. Thank you……..

    Loving this blog display! Its inspiration in itself. The colors, shapes, and that feather on top, wonderful. I agree, i too adore packaging! It is everything and really makes the product that more enjoyable. If I received this bin of eggs not only would i be more inspired but i would savor them more. Just because.
    Your pictures and outlooks are just perfect and I adore them all.
    Thanks
