Silk Fortune Cookies - On Sale!

But what exactly are "Silk Fortune Cookies"? Updated our featured gifts page at Centsible, I came across these and was curious enough to take a closer look.

3 1/2" in length and 2 1/2" wide, this little silk brocade pouches are actually kind of cool! We can think of lots of potential uses for these too.

• packaging for a gift card
• packaging for a gift of money
• packaging for a piece of jewelry
• spare change pouch
• travel pouch
• keepsake pouch

The list of potential uses can go on and on. And these were just kinda cute we thought!

These Silk Fortune Cookie Cases are lined with silk and available exclusively through Gardeners' Supply Company. They come in a set of 3 and are normally priced at $16.95. As of January 31, 2010, they are on sale for just $11.99. That's $3 per case.
