Christmas Cookie Gift Boxes

I like these brown gable boxes because I can use silver and gold paint to decorate the outside with stars or Christmas Trees!  Also they have a gift tag that goes with for easy gifting!! 

Cookie Gift Wrap Ups

It is that wonderful magical time of year that I start planning for my annual cookie deliveries to dear friends and neighbors.  Wrapping up these gifts has been a challenge for me.  I want to prepare them in a cost efficient way, but also want the cookie gift to feel special and thoughtful.

This year I found a wonderful site to help me achieve the simple, yet elegant gift I like to hand out to  neighbors and friends.  If any of you have cookie wrapping ideas, PLEASE POST YOUR IDEAS!  I NEED HELP with this one!!

I really like both of these which I can customize to Christmas!

I love this site by the way, brit.co.
