Thank you all for sharing your tips & ideas.<br />ps I might be not eligible for the giveaway; because I live in Ireland. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed anyway!

I then wrap the box with tissues, then place ribbon on the outside and place a gift tag on the outside with the descriptions of all the cookies included in the box...it's a big hit!

I think that is the one area in holiday gift giving that I have been lacking in. I usually just use the Christmas tins that I received cookies in from someone else the year before. I really hope to up my game this year in some way. I saw at Michaels they have festive mini loaf pans for just a dollar. So that would be a great idea for cookies or mini loaves of course.

Use Elmer's glue and line the inside with one fabric. Then, do the same thing to the outside and the top using a different fabric. Any raw edges are hidden with ribbon. Then, you can sort of crumple waxed paper and layer the cookies into the box. Tie with ribbon and add a tag. You can use smaller boxes, too. It looks nice and old-fashioned. Like Grandma used to make. I like to buy inexpensive Christmas (or whatever) fabric and wrap old shoe boxes with it. Use Elmer’s glue and line the inside with one fabric.

It's like giving two gifts at once, AND it's environmentally responsible. It always makes me cringe a bit to think of all the stuff that gets thrown away during the holidays.

I put in some cookies , with the recipe and 1 or 2 of the ingredients ...<br /><br />it was some sort of altered packages ... ;) funny to make, unexpensive and the best reward was the puzzled expression on my friends faces :) :) last year I collected , I collected dozen of vintage – style food packages or boxes( powder chocolate box, malted coffee box, flour old fashioned boxes ) and tea tins, I custumized them with sparkling stuffs, tags, labels , ribbons etc – just a few to add a personal touch -… .

If time allowed it, we will try a new recipe. I will try to schedule a practice run so you can see what they would look like all wrapped and get the recipe(s).
