Let’s take a break from the 12 days of cookies for a second. Just one quick second, I promise!
I was asked to put together a Christmas gift basket recently and had no rules. I love when I have the freedom to do as I please! A little stroll around Michael’s gave me the inspiration I needed. My theme was going to be snowmen!
Let’s break it down, shall we?
I stuffed this tin with snickerdoodles.
How cute is this canister? Seriously dying of cuteness.
It breaks down to three separate canisters.
I filled the bottom two with pecan sandies (sneak peak to the end of my 12 days of cookies!).
and the top hat is filled with cinnamon sugar roasted pecans.
Then I decorated a bakery bag and filled it with good ol’ chocolate chip cookies.
I also spiced up a regular white bakery box with decorative holiday tape on the sides. It transforms it into a completely festive box! (It’s not filled yet in the picture because I was waiting for the triple chocolate brownies to cool before cutting into them).
Excuse the mess in the background; I take over the kitchen when I bake. I added extra bags of roasted nuts after this picture and a mini card explaining what was included in the basket. Oh hey, the brownies are in this picture!
Bag it up.
And a little itty baby stocking to top it all off.
Now isn’t that just the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen? Haha. I sure hope the recipient enjoys it!
what would u say was the total spent Kim?
*I*, on the other hand, sure hope that the recipient is me! haha :p gorgeous!
So cute and so thoughtful! DO you have my address? 😉
