If there’s ever been a year to spread a little joy with a sweet care package, this is the year! Enjoy these ideas for festive treats to gift people you care about!
One holiday tradition I’ve always loved is making and decorating Christmas treats. Last year we held a gingerbread house decorating competition with the whole family and even printed award certificates — such a fun memory. I also enjoy finding charming pre-made treats, especially when they arrive perfectly wrapped and ready to give.
When our kitchen was being remodeled and we didn’t have an oven, a friend sent us a tin of decorated Christmas cookies. It lifted our spirits and inspired me to give similar tins to others. Who wouldn’t love a box of smiling gingerbread arriving by mail?
If you want to spread a little cheer this season—to a friend, a teacher, a nurse, or even yourself—we found a collection of adorable holiday treats available online. Many can be ordered in time for Christmas. Below are ideas to inspire your gifting and decorating.
And if you’re baking at home this year, you’ll find inspiration for your own decorating here as well.
