Suggestions for packaging cookies for Christmas?
bellaabambaa asked you:
HI! I was wondering if you have any cute/clever/cool ways of packaging cookies for the holidays. I want to give out cookies this year in a …well fancier way than ziploc containers :p Thanks!!
truebluemeandyou:
- The Dollar Store has a bunch of tins (if not sold out) perfect for cookies.
- I also posted how to make a cup into a gift container here (you could stack them) here: truebluemeandyou.tumblr.com/post/37715812420/diy-paper-cup-gift-packaging-tutorial
- I also reblogged a Custom Gift Box, Card Box or Gift Card PDF Generator from ideogram here. You just plug in the dimensions and it prints out a template to cut out and fold.
- Look in the bridal section of the Dollar Store for all sorts of containers.
Any other suggestions?

- bl0winginthebreeze answered: you know those paper chinese food boxes? I’ve used before, and you can decorate tthem w/glitter,scrapbook paper etc. i get them from michaels
- plastic-swimming-pool answered: My Grandma used to hand wrap each cookie with wax paper. It really added a nice personal touch.
- elsajeni answered: JoAnn’s also carries loads of pretty tins — not dollar-store prices, but in the $3-$5 range.
- anewday54 answered: As stated from Truebluemeandyou I usually package mines in the tins. I wrap them a few times in colorful tissue wrap from the dollar store.
- snooxeisen answered: yeah, those little chinese take out containers (not used ones!!) are cute. my mother and I package them in tins we’ve bought or received.
- fernandagarza answered: you can make pretty much any box yourself out of cardboard.. just wrap the cookies in tissue paper or put them in a plastic bag :)
- justkeepcrafting answered: I like the idea of using a plastic bottle like this: tinyurl.com/cua3wft You could leave it clear and wrap the cookies in tissue paper
