Unique way to package homemade cookies?!
Answers: What are some unique ways to package homemade cookies, given as Christmas presents? I'm wanting to steer away from the usual Christmas-themed tin this year. Low-cost, attractive ideas--prefereably with packaging that can be reused by the recipient to store other things throughout the year (so the gift will be clutter-free)? Thanks!
pack them in tool boxes or tackle boxes. sewing baskets, knitting baskets fishing hats, garden hats fish bowls---whatever you think the recipient would appreciate & use
FOIL?
There are always baskets or terra cotta pots. I know that sounds weird but it is a cute idea (if they like to plant) and i got one a few years ago. There are many cute boxes in craft stores too.
One of those Christmas tins. You put alumni on the bottom and layer the cookies and the plastic wrap. Plastic wrap comes in many colors. That's how I give my Christmas cookies.The tines can be recyclable.
I use the fabric bags that you buy to put bottles of wine into (if it's a bigger cookie, like chocolate chip).
What about a fruit or bread basket or serving plate that they can use later? You'll want to package the cookies either individually or in groups in saran wrap or Christmas baggies to keep them fresh.
Michaels or any of your locale craft stores have chinese take out boxes that come in all colors and sizes. I don't think they are to much. I think that would be a great package.
Pretty colored plastic wrap with a cardboard card in the bottom for support. Tie with a pretty fancy bow and add a card or tag. Tie a small plushie or dog bone or toy to the ribbon if there's a kid or animal in the house. =]
coffee tins if you have any, or just make your own boxes with some craft boards and double-sided tape!
i think it will be proper 2 wrap it in a foil and put it in a basket
Giving homemade cookies for Christmas always gives a personal touch to the holiday season. Packaging them in unique ways will make them even more special and memorable.
For some easy packaging ideas that are attractive and re-usable, try these -
Table napkins, ribbon, pack in some jam with them:
Wrap several pieces of your favourite cookies in a linen table napkin – select one that has a Christmas theme on it for more holiday cheer! Top with a small jar of your favourite jam (or peanut butter) that will go with the cookies. Tie them together with a colourful ribbon to match the napkin, securing a wooden spreader in the knot of the bow.
Decorative coffee mugs, tea cups or jam jars:
Hunt for decorative coffee mugs, tea cups or jam jars from vintage stores, flea markets or even from the home section of department stores. You can easily pick designs that will match your friends’ personalities. Then, covering these mugs, cups and jars of cookies is a cinch with gift wrappers, available in many patterns and colours. Cut a circle bigger than your container and place it over the opening serving as the lid. Use a rubber band to hold it in place so you can tie with waxed twine or ribbon, then remove the rubber band.
Cookie envelope:
For quick and low-cost packaging, try packing your cookies in individual cookie envelopes. Cut a big square on a sheet of decorative paper. Fold all 4 corners around the cookie to form an envelope. Seal with a sticker. You can even personalize it using initials or Christmas-themed stickers.
