I know it's still early but I have pretty much all of my Holiday shopping done. I stuck to my budget and my list and I didn't stress myself out trying to think of what to get people. In fact today I'm going to show you an easy and fun tutorial to make a DIY Holiday gift, container and all!
I make these for neighbors and the postman and other delivery people. As a blogger, I get a lot of packages and I always want the people that help get them to me know that they are very much appreciated. So what better way to do that then with homemade cookies in neatly decorated festive packaging? So follow along for this easy cookie container tutorial.
What You Will Need:
Cookies
Wax Paper
Decorative Tape
Rubbermaid TakeAlongs
[STEP 1 - MAKE COOKIES]
Whether you make them from scratch or you buy cookie mix at the store, it's the thought that counts so choose a few different types of cookies. I chose Chocolate Chip and Snicker doodle. I figure I can't go wrong that way.
[STEP 2 - DECORATE Rubbermaid TakeAlongs]
This is the fun part. While you wait for your cookies to bake you can use your decorative tape to decorate your containers.
You can make fun designs with the decorative tape and if you really want to get creative you could practically cover the containers completely. Decorative tape can be peeled off too.
I use Rubbermaid TakeAlongs because they are perfect for storing my meals and snacks whenever I share them with people. Plus it's a great way for me to celebrate the season of giving by giving them (and what's inside) to those that I appreciate and care about. The cool thing about Holiday TakeAlongs is that they come in limited edition red, green, and prints for the holidays.
You can find them on a special end cap at Walmart between 10/29-12/24.
I love Rubbermaid TakeAlongs when it comes to storage and gifting. They have a Quik Clik Seal™ to keep food and treats secure so they don't spill. I love the soft lids and how well they tightly grip the container so I know there's a reliable seal. They even have a large tab that makes it so easy to open them. And it's the gift that keeps on giving because they are top rack dishwasher safe, freezer safe, and even microwavable!
You can even use decorative pens to write a To/From Note and tape it to the top of the container. You can make it as fancy or as simple as you want. That's the best part of a DIY gift - ANY amount of effort makes it special.
[STEP 3 - FILL WITH COOKIES]
Once your cookies are done make sure you line the Rubbermaid TakeAlongs with wax paper, place a few cookies in, then layer with another piece of wax paper before you place more cookies inside. I like doing this so that the cookies don't get smashed and stuck together.
[STEP 4 - GIVE]
This is the fun part where you get to give your finished product to the recipient!
Doesn't it feel so good to put a bit of extra time and effort into a gift? Who would you give this DIY Cookie Container gift to? For more great ideas click here!

Love that the TakeAlongs really do make gifting so easy! I'm going to be gifting something like this to my son's teachers! [client]
