I'm pretty new to all of this but have recently taken a few stabs at bath bombs with the intention of giving a few sets as gifts. I'm quite happy with the recipes I've come up with but have hit a bit of a hurdle when it comes to finding suitable packaging.
The bombs I've been doing are 2.5 inches in diameter - I've shrink wrapped a few and it works well enough to seal them so I don't need to worry about much moisture but this wont work on some of the more delicate ones as they are pretty heat sensitive.
I'm thinking I'm best off going with cupcake containers because of the inserts but I've yet to find anything remotely usable on amazon... I found two but neither are shipped by amazon or they want like 10 dollars per cardboard box. Maybe I'm not creative in my packaging thoughts but I can't think of much else that will look good as a gift and will keep the bombs from rolling around and getting damaged possibly.
Here's the batch I made today. Shrink wrapping them will melt the coco butter off the top into the plastic and looks really bad and the 'chocolate sauce' is a bit brittle if you were to let it roll or bounce around in a box...
