During the festive season last year, we designed and made a little LED light box to give out to friends. Goes well with the Christmas tree and makes a great night light.
This year we decided to bake some cookies. After all, what is Christmas without cookies? Trying out various recipes was not the only fun part. We went window shopping for the materials to package the cookies.
Trying to keep the budget affordable, we headed to Daiso the $2 shop. There was just such a huge range of paper and plastic bags, boxes and wrapping material to choose from.
I found a nice transparent bag with a recipe text printed in a dark chocolate brown colour. Unfortunately, it was the last pack on the rack. We bought another 2 packs of bags in other designs.
We already had a plastic bag sealer and when we gave the cookies out to friends, many people were unsure if they were bought off the shelf or hand made. I guess the ultimate compliment was when a colleague asked where to bought the cookies as they tasted really good.
