This sounds like a pretty cute idea. The web is filled with recipes for this blessing mix. Here is the common one I found. Seal it up in a cellophane bag or zippie and attach a card with a harvest poem. Bagged in favor-sized gift bags and decorated with a harvest poem.
Give as a favor to a Sunday School class, ladies group, etc. You can give bring in the items unbagged and have your students made their own Blessing Mix Bags to give out. If you don't want to bother making your own card there are several free ones you can print out.

Nuts or seeds: Promise of a a future harvest, one we will reap only if seeds are planted and tended with diligence.

M&Ms: Memories of those who came before us to guide us to a blessed future.

I love this. I made it along with my 3 year old son and my 6 year old daughter. They both enjoyed making it and eating it. I found that mixing in a large bowl, that all the sunflower seeds settled on the bottom. Instead, we added each ingredient to the bag one at a time and gently mixed. I have added this recipe to my family cookbook. My daughter wants it every year. We have already made gift bags to give each of our guests at Thanksgiving dinner.
