Homemade Christmas Cookie Gifts Packaging Ideas

Share

If you’re planning to bake for Christmas and holiday gifts this year, you’ll need packaging to wrap everything up. Holiday baking is an annual tradition, whether for yourself or as gifts for friends, family, and coworkers. Adding a personal touch is simple with our customized labels and gift tags.

What kind of packaging options are there?

You can find free printable labels in many places, but if you’d like to take things up a notch, you can order labels and packaging with your name and the type of product included. They look more polished than something you print at home, and some of the designs I’ve created also include space for ingredients, which can be important for people with food allergies.

Custom stickers for labels.

Stickers are good for things that are going to be hard to attach a gift tag to. You can stick them to plastic wrap, gift wrap, boxes, or things that are oddly-shaped, so they’re really versatile. I’ve designed stickers that have more or less information on them so you can add the ingredients, the name of the product, and your name if you want to put more or less details on them.


Gift tags.

Gift tags are nice if you want to use the back to write a personal message, or if you want to put information about the product on them. You can also add a general holiday greeting to the back of the tags when you order them so that you don’t have to add a message by hand.


Cookie boxes.

Cookie boxes are good if you want to have a way to protect the baked goods when you move them around. Boxes have a limited capacity, though, so make sure that you’re ordering some that are big enough for what you want to put in them! The boxes that I’ve designed have a place on the side for ingredients, or you can delete the text from the template and write things in by hand if you don’t know what you’ll be putting in the boxes.


Gift bags.

Gift bags are good for things like mini loaves and cookies that you’ve put into baggies. You can do an assortment of treats and put them in the bag with a gift tag that matches. I also have tissue paper that matches this design, so you can add that to complete the look!
