A woman did a favor for me so that I didn't have to do anything and it was a real lifesaver. I want to give her cookies in a nice box or sonething with ribbons and bows and all cutesy but I've never done it before. And I want to make it, not order from somewhere. Any ideas on what I could put the cookies in?

A Nicely coverd box tyes with a ribbon Confused

NOTE: Make sure she
1. Accepts outside food
2. Has no allergys to any of the ingrediants.
Hatzlacha

You'd think the recipient was me with those orders embarrassed

Good points, Tehilla. You can also buy a pretty and inexpensive tin in a store like TuesdayMorning or Home Goods.

you can buy a pretty plate or serving platter and display the cookies on the plate, wrap it in cellophane and tie it with a few different colored ribbons. ( curled ofcourse). Try to coordinate the ribbon colors with the colors of the plate. You can get this type of plate at Happy Home, Yellow Door, Kitchen Clique, ( this is if u are in flat.bush/brooklyn area). OR try- Home Goods, Tj MAxx or Marshalls in the home section. Goodluck

How much would a tin cost? I'm new at this....

She eat's outside food.

And she is good friends with my shvigger so I partly want her to make a comment to my shvigger about the pretty and thoughtful package....I know, Ulterior motives are bad.....

Sthillmom...your suggestion is great and I might go with it bc it's much easier bc I can get those things easily at a jewish grocery store. But you don't think it looks too Mishloach Manoas-y? You knowm with the cellophane covering a clear plate? Smile

hmm maybe a little like mishloach manos, but dont do a clear plate!!! buy a pretty serving plate!! or you can buy an oven-to -table wear and bake her a cake in it and then wrap it up really nicely. I do that a lot and its always a big hit, cuz the person is getting the dish AND the cake Smile

If you met them in real life, you wouldn't make that mistake.

I don't know what kind of favor it was or how much u want to spend, but cookies on a platter of plate that they can keep/use is always very nice.

the favor was: I had agreed to sub for a private preschool as an aide but my brother was coming in especially for the weekend with his wife to my parents for that shabbos. I would not have been able to work and to get to my parents before Shabbos and I don't know anyone in this city and she knows the whole world so she found someone. And I am extrememly grateful.
I really don't want to spend alot because I don't have alot to give....

What type of cookies should I bake for her?

↑ cookielady

a sturdy type. oatmeal choc chip cookies, ruggelach. something isn't too delicate. A brownie would also be nice.

OOO I like the idea of rugelach. I was also thinking of black and white cookies that way I could go with the black and white motif.

Anyone? I really need to make these things and get it over to her, it's already been a week since she did the favor for me!
