The Christmas cookies are baked! But how to package them? Up your presentation game with these Goodtaste-approved cute and easy ways to make your holiday baked treats look like a million bucks.
Creative Gift Packaging for Cookies
Do you have any empty Pringles cans lying around? A Baker’s House came up with this fun and low-budget idea to store those holiday cookies this year. All you need is an empty can and some wrapping paper to get started.
Cookie Basket
Did you know a paper plate makes the perfect basket for cookies? It’s Always Autumn brings a unique and fun way to give out sweet treats this year by using a paper plate, tape, and ribbon of your choosing.
Christmas Treat Bags
Keep your treats cozy in these homemade sweater gift bags. A Homemade Living came up with this crafty idea by using old sweaters and ribbon.
Giving Holiday Cookies
Turn an ordinary paper bag into something extraordinary this holiday season. Purl Soho’s fun and unique idea to store your holiday cookies using yarn and ribbon is perfect for your cookie exchange.
Make-Your-Own Macaron Box
Impress your friends and family with this homemade macaron box from Unoriginal Mom. Using a free Silhouette portrait cutout and cellophane, this is a great way to showcase beautiful macarons and holiday treats. See how it’s done!
Rustic Holiday Tray
We love the streamlined aesthetic of this cookie tray from Happy Happy Nester, which uses rustic wooden trays from the Container Store to package homemade seasonal sweets.
A Baker’s Dozen Presentation
For the bakers on your block, we love this idea from Better Homes & Gardens to deliver your home-baked cookies in a fluted bundt pan. You could go vintage with a pan scored on a recent antiquing run or opt for a brand-new bundt.
Classic Cookie Jar
Keep things super simple and gift your cookies stacked in a classic canning jar, as Oh So Deliciouso suggests. Once the cookies are gone (which you know will be soon), the jar can be used for anything, really, from jamming to homemade sauces to even propagating houseplants.
Wrapped and Ready
Customize your holiday bakes in a series of loaf pans to gift to family or friends, just like Country Living does. You can either stock up on basic aluminum or ceramic pans (hello, holiday kitchenware sales) or hand-select ones individually for each recipient.
Reindeer Games
Brown take-out boxes get an adorably festive makeover with the addition of some googly eyes, greenery, and a red pom-pom thanks to A Place of My Taste. Set up an assembly line to let the kids help create the little Rudolph boxes.
