A gift box of cookies is a beautiful way to let someone know you are thinking of them. It's a small but meaningful gesture of love and well-wishes that goes beyond a phone call or a distant wave. 

Cookie gift boxes can have any theme imaginable. If you can dream it up, there will be a cookie decorator with the skills to bring that dream to sugar. Whether that decorator is me or someone else, think about gifting a small box of cookies next time you remember someone you haven't seen in a while. They will truly be impressed by the unique and memorable way you have reached out to them.

Mother's Day Cookie Gift Box

Mother's Day Painted Heart

I figured I would join the trend of other bakeries who offer gift boxes for different occasions and Mother's Day seemed to be the perfect place to start. This year I offered four sets in total; three sets were painted cookies and one set was my usual glaze decorations.

Gifting a small box of cookies is a great way to go. It's inexpensive but totally personal and lovable. I kept my prices between $10 and $12, and that's fairly standard for a lot of bakeries. Places I scouted had sets for $9 (but packaging was an additional $2), and most were $12 for 3 cookies (plus $2 for the box). Regardless, any way you cut it, it's a wonderfully unique gift for a great price and you're not breaking the bank if you splurge for flowers or chocolates as well. If your favourite bakery does not offer gift sets, be sure to ask next time you shop there, I'm sure they would be delighted to put something together for you at a price that suits.
