Doing my first cookie swap. Need some ideas how to present them as a gift.

[Lisa62]

I love the idea in the catalog on page 16 or 19.

But was wondering if anyone else had any ideas as to how they did thier from previous cookie swaps.

Also did you make a recipe card or some kind of a tag with a recipe included on it.

Just looking for some really cute ideas on how I can prsent mine. sO FAR IT LOOKS TO BE AROUND 12 PEOPLE IN THE COOKIE SWAP.

I found some of the seasonal zip loc bags, and made bag toppers. Also some of the rubbermaid containers, I made bands to go around the containers, embellished with ribbon, tags. And I always supply my recipes, usually on holiday copy paper. I always enjoy these, hard to get people to respond to invitations, everyone is so busy.

Are you going to make the cookies in different shapes? How about making a polymer clay tag that they can also use as an ornament? Just a thought.

i have done a nice cookie exchange for 2 years. Presentation is as important as the cookies. One year I did a gable box and decorated it. (We would bring a dozen cookies in each container). Another idea I loved was putting them in a holiday oven mitt. I printed off my recipe on white paper, and then mounted it on a coordinating color. I then embellished it with stamps, ribbon, etc. Good luck

Ooh! The oven mitt is a cute idea! Also, I love PTI lined coffee bags, although if the cookies are frosted there is just no way around smooshing the icing unless you use a plate.

Here is a link that shows how you can package your goodies in either a box or bag:

This is what I did last year. I copied an idea from Lauren Meader and changed a couple of things to make it more reproduceable.
