Co-Worker Gifts

Today I took in some gifts for co-workers. I packaged up my cookies into little favor boxes I found in the bridal section at my local craft store. It was just the right size to place 4-5 cookies inside. Since we all get a little over sugared this time of year, I thought this was perfect. And it really is the thought that counts and, of course, the presentation:

The first batch coordinates with my Christmas card! And the second batch has a more whimsical feel, inspired by this card and the colors:

These were really simple to make. The boxes were $4.99 for 20, what a deal! The tags were quick and simple, too. I simply stamped the image and sentiment, all on one sheet and punched them out with a large circle punch. A little ribbon, twine, and a button (of course!) finished it off nicely. I am very pleased at how they turned out.

For those of you who are interested, you can find the recipe for yesterday's Peppermint Bark here. Another simple-but-oh-so-good recipe! I have a few more treat packages to share tomorrow, then I'm afraid I may be putting up my Christmas stamps until next year (boo!).
