You're spending hours in the kitchen making delicious holiday treats, why not package them in a creative way? The recipient will definitely appreciate both your baking and your crafting!
Recycled tins
1. Recycled Tins. Gather all of those holiday tins you have laying around (or purchase new, inexpensive ones at the Dollar Store) and use spray paint to give the outsides a fresh new look. You can go one step further and embellish with stickers, seasonal words or even decoupaged drawings or photos. Tie simply with twine or yarn.

2. Take Out Containers. Pick up a package of take out containers at Sam's or Costco for this year's cookies. Pretty tags (make your own or buy ready made), colorful twine and that's it, you're done. The best part of this cute idea is that the recipient can put the entire package in the freezer if they choose.
3. Glass Mason Cookie Jar. Stack your cookies or brownies with rounds of parchment paper between in Mason jars. Snap shut, add a cute tag and you're done.

The cookie sleeves are perfect for dinner favors or for a birthday party favor as well.
