Any creative suggestions to wrap/package these to gift?

I'm a bit stumped other than cellophane over the spoony bit & a nice bow which is not exciting me very much 🤷‍♀️

Any other ideas? So they're not instantly recogniseable? (There is a tenth one but it has the recipients name on it)

To wrap individually? Make a cracker out of card, wrap tissue paper around that to form the end, seal each with a piece of ribbon?

Wrap them individually, and tie them at each end, so they resemble a cracker.

Fold a piece of card over them to make a triangle shape staple and decorate to look like something triangular. Ice cream cone 🍦, pizza 🍕, cheese 🧀?

They’re very nice. Did you paint them, and who for?

Could you make a little paper flower 'sleeve' to go over the spoon bit and then stand them up in a pot or jar then cellophane around?
So that they look like a little vase of flowers?
Sorry I can imagine it but can't describe what I mean very clearly.

@Riverlee yep, I did, and they're for my class teacher who's leaving us at the end of term. He asked me to paint him a set months ago, and offered to pay, but hasn't mentioned it since so I thought he'd appreciate them.

I'll have a rummage and see what I can find that would make a cone or cracker around them all; that's a good idea. Not sure I cba, or have the time, to do them individually.

Ah, I assumed they were individual gifts. I think the pizza idea is a great one. Could you get a pizza box and place them inside? Only other simple thing I can think of is a shoe box, then wrap the box.

I think if you top & tail them a round cardboard wine bottle gift boxes could work?
No wrapping required and neat presentation. 🙂

I'd suggest making them look like a bouquet of flowers. Green crumpled tissue around the spoon handles to look like foliage, white or similar around the outside & finish with cellophane & a ribbon bow

Get some florists oasis *the green spongy stuff) and use that as a base.

Tie some hessian round the oasis and secure with a ribbon
