Answer 1

Hmmm. It's hard.. Is there any way to link these stories?
What about in a suitcase with a bunch of clothes and shampoo and things you need to pack when you go somewhere. So the idea is that there is a person who is going on vacation and packed these things to read on the trip. You could personalize the packed things with a map of new york if one or all of these stories takes place in New york for example or the things packed could represent some of the characters in the books/stories.

Otherwise pack them in an empty gallon paint can. you can buy new empty cans from a hardware store. Use photo shop or your own artistic abilities to make paining suggestions on the paint label. You could use the cover art of the stories/books for the suggestions.

Answer 2

The only sensible way to tie the stories together is by first doing the work. So write those summaries and character studies, figure out the themes, spot the similes/metaphors, and say why they're short stories.

After doing all that, you'll know how they compare or contrast or what evolution they show: that's the "packaging" you want.
