How to transport these?

I am walking and taking mass transit to a dinner tonight. I am making pumpkin muffins to bring. Yesterday I bought those throw-away muffin tins to bake the muffins. There will be 2-3 tins to carry. They didn't come with lids.
How do I cover these without smushing the muffins? And, how do I carry multiple tins without carrying one on top of another? Thank you. |

| If they are not frosted can you pile them in a basket? Muffins are usually pretty hardy. If they are very fragile and can't be stacked that way do you have any cardboard gift boxes that the tins will fit in? If no large cardboard or tupperwre boxes maybe transfer to a 9x13 pan with a cookie sheet for a lid? |

3 separate bags?
Or stand them up vertically in one bag with paper between them. Then there is no weight on them. Or just take them out of the tins, but them in a serving basket, and carry. Muffins aren't that fragile and will presumably be taken out of the tins to serve anyway so personally I'd go with option 3. |

| Go to a clothing or department store and get shirt boxes that are deep enough to close without hitting the tops and stack them and either carry in a large shopping bag or tie with twine and carry old school parcel style. |

| Ditch the tins and use a basket. |

| Michael's and some other stores sell cupcake Tupperware, with handles, that would work if you want to go to that trouble. |

I don't, to be honest.  I don't live near a craft store and don't want to spend money on this.
I'm going to a nearby clothing store to see if they have a shirt box I could have. |

They have no shirt boxes, and I could only fit two tins in the oven, so the other one is sitting out and will have to be cooked separately. Ugh. I should just stop accepting invitations. |
