Cookies and milk -- a fun gift idea!

Here is a fun idea for a little kitchen gift.  This could make a great gift for your co-workers, Sunday School students, grandchildren -- it could even work as a stocking stuffer!

Here's the link: Cookies and Milk Gift.  Basically, it works like this.  You find a mug for each gift you want to make.  I would wash and dry the mug thoroughly because you are going to stack cookies in it.  You need approximately six cookies for each gift.  The ones in the link are ginger cookies -- and those seem especially Christmasy -- but chocolate chip would be wonderful too, or really any firm, crunchy, round cookie that you think the recipient would like.

Then you place the mug in a clear plastic treat bag and tie the top with a ribbon, but do not tie the ribbon into a bow yet.  (I might tend to close the top of the bag first with either a small rubber band or a twist tie, then add the ribbon.) 

Next comes the tag.  On the site you will find free downloadable "just add milk" tags.  Or design your own, if you prefer.  You punch a hole in the tag and thread one end of your ribbon through it, then tie the ribbon into a bow.  You are finished!  And you have a unique, fun little gift for almost anyone.

  1. I had been thinking of giving all the co-workers this year a mug filled with cookies with their name put on them with vinyl. But...think they would miss the cookie trays we normally send!

    1. I usually do cookie trays, also, Lana. Somehow I think the recipients would prefer them to a mug of cookies, no matter how cute!
