Cookie gift ideas?

Question

I like to bake, so this year I am giving all my friends some sugar cookies. I was wondering if anyone how some good ideas on how to decorate them or how to gift-wrap them so that they look pretty.

Answer 1

At Michael's martha stewart has these gift boxes for cookies. They are really nice but kinda pricey!

Chinese Take out container

Buy crystal plates at garage sales....clean them up and voila. They can keep the dish.

Answer 2

wrap them on a nice plate use cellophane, Christmas colors would be good. Well with sugar cookies you can frost them, over at Safeway they can kits you can buy to decorate cookies.

Answer 3

I would put them in a large mixing bowl with wooden spoon, cookie sheet with spatula or a pretty serving Christmas plate. I always include the recipe.

Answer 4

excellent idea...they will love it...you can do all sorts of things...if they like flowers, decorate flowers on the cookies and pick up cheap clay terra cotta flower pots and wrap the cookies in that....or...little storage boxes they can use later (dollar store)...check out the dollar stores in your area for some great container ideas...the list is limitless

Answer 5

I saw cute take-out containers in red and green at World Market. You can fill them with cookies and Christmas candies. They look like Chinese take-out containers with metal handles. They had silver and gold ones too.

Answer 6

I like colored plastic wrap and a tag that includes the recipe.

Answer 7

I like to make my own little cardboard baskets and tie the handles with lots of ribbons or tinsel (use celophane too)

Answer 8

wrap them in a plastic cover then use ribbons to decorate them.
