Looking for a special way to show your appreciation to someone? Why not make up a cookie gift basket. Just about everyone has a sweet tooth when it comes to cookies, and there are so many different flavors to choose from, and endless possibilities for how to arrange and package this yummy treat.
You don't have to know someone really well to give them a cookie gift basket, so it makes an ideal present to show your gratitude to people like teachers, hair stylists, the postman, and the newspaper carrier. However, it's also easy to personalize a cookie basket for someone close to you, by choosing certain cookies and presenting them thoughtfully. Either way, you're sure to make someone smile. Start with fresh-baked cookies. You can bake them yourself if you have the skill and time, or pick up a selection from a favorite bakery or gourmet cookie store. The tough decision will be what type of cookies to put in your cookie gift basket. If the recipient is just an acquaintance and you don't know their favorites, get an assortment of flavors. But if it's someone you're close to and you know their likes and dislikes, splurge on their favorite indulgence. Pick out a pretty cookie tin or basket, then place your cookies in a nice arrangement. You can wrap your basket in colorful cellophane or gift basket bag, and top it off with a nice big bow. You'll want to add a little handwritten note. Your thoughtfulness will show through in these small details. When packaging your cookie basket, you should consider having a theme. A birthday basket calls for vibrant colors and maybe some birthday candles scattered among the cookies. For Christmas, you'll want to use reds and greens, with velvet or satin bows. If you're giving a basket of Halloween pumpkins or Valentine's hearts, your wrapping should reflect the season. Likewise, you can pick the flavor of your cookie according to the occasion. Cinnamon and ginger are perfect for Christmas cookies. Pumpkin is a good choice for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Keep in mind that there are those with special dietary needs who can't eat sugar or products containing wheat or gluten. Some bakeries have cookies to meet these and other needs such as diabetes. You can also look for a recipe that meets the person's requirements and make up a batch of your own special cookies. Sugar substitutes are available that can replace the real thing in baked products. With all the types of cookies available and fun ideas for packaging, making up a cookie gift basket is sure to be a pleasure for you. Not to mention a real treat for the person on the receiving end.
