Use a miniature "Sports Bag" filled with kernel popcorn; sport related wrapped chocolates or homemade roasted peanuts to create a guest favor that will surely be a hit!

Fold and place in this adorable miniature "Sports Bag" for a totally unique presentation. Use the small pocket on the outside to include "Admission Tickets" to the Sporting Event of the Year!
