Is it worth looking on sites that do "wedding favour" boxes? You might be able to get them cheaper there?
Or, can you "pay" someone who is time rich but cash poor, to make a few for you? If you can't pay them in money, you could trade one of your pieces perhaps?
Came up with this last night - get a cardboard cover from a CD - the ones given away with newspapers, etc. Fold the open edges together, to form a pyramid shape, staple or stick the opening when you have filled it. I thought it was quite a neat idea, but Royal Mail might not love you too much!

I like the idea, but it wouldn't go through most letterboxes. If I'd ordered something small like jewellry I'd be a bit hacked off if I missed my postie and had to go and collect it when it could've fitted through my letterbox if packed differently.
S'ok - I just haven't got the time to make them. If I made everything I needed I woudn't have time to sleep. Also the stuff I make is quite costly and home made packaging doesn't sit well with it.
I saw those last night (searching again!) and they do look good but I couldn't work out whether they have Namaste written on them Thing with the recycled card ones is I can stamp my own logo on them.
