Mini theme - mini oreos, mini candies and mini pretzels
Made 55 for about $60 including the bags (amazing savings is the best!)
We were going to bake mini cookies or muffins but half of the people we give won't eat it anyway so it's not worth the effort

Blistering barnacles! I haven't read that in a long time. One of my favorite books.

And, pretty good idea.

Is it הידור מצוה if you make a theme? Do you get more שכר?  ;)

The more people you confuse on Purim, the bigger the mitzvah ;D

Saw this on someone's status. The most creative idea I've ever seen. Even the label!

Added benefit is that if someone is upset they didn't get one, you tell them you left it outside the front door and someone must have taken it

I give out a fresh bagel and a little container of cream cheese with a J&J iced cap

Some other things that I appreciated receiving:

A veggie platter with a small container of dressing in the middle.
A packet of dried salami with a packet of melba toast.
Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.

Reminds me of going as a bachur right after purim shachris with a bunch of other guys from yeshiva to the bagel store and swapping each others meals for shalach manos.

In general, I'm always looking for real food as the shalach manos come in to tide me over until the seuda. We've been doing soup/croutons/grape juice for the last bunch of years.

TinTin and Captn Haddock (with a baby can also have snowy)
Tompson and Thompson etc.
Did this last year. My 11 and 9 year olds were T&T, 6yo was tintin, 4yo was snowy, and I was Haddock.

This year I made about 3 gallons of strong, cold coffee (rum-flavored), added a mini-halva bar and a muffin. Total cost: under 5 shekel each person (including the heart-shaped container for the coffee - about 100ml). Making and pouring the coffee took me about an hour (my wife helped by taking the whole family elsewhere).
Message says "What will it take for us to wake up?" and Simchas Purim from our family. Deliveries were about half-done (about thirty) before 8AM, as part of the theme is for people to have it early. I helpfully had a psak from Rabbi Berkovits that the coffee could be drunk before Shacharis  8).
I have a reputation for coffee-related things so it was on theme.

PS Why couldn't we bump this BEFORE Purim?

In our shul , the rov mentions by krias megilla (day) that people should have in mind mitzvos hayom. Don't know if that's required though.
