Valentine Popcorn














Open topped Cookie Box



For an elegant gift, choose rich colors and simple materials. A decorative, open-topped container looks gorgeous when filled with chocolate-dipped cookies and tied with a mahogany ribbon. Try lining the box with cellophane to protect the cookies.

Cookies in a jar



Glass jars are the perfect vessels for cookies or confections. Cut out rounds of waxed paper and alternate the treats with the paper rounds. Fasten the jar lid on tightly, tie with a decorative bow, and attach a gift tag.

Glass Jar Toppers

To make your own you’ll need:
- glass jars with lid
- miniature toppers (scan the ornament, Christmas village and kids sections)
- spray paint in color of choice
- hot glue gun
- a treat (popcorn, M&Ms, white chocolate pretzels, whoopie pies)
Give the jar lids and miniatures a good spray with the paint, you might need to do two coats. When fully dry, hot glue the miniature onto the lid top. Fill the jar with something yummy and top it. Deliver to friends while jamming to Manheim Steamroller in the car.
