Baked goods are a favorite way to spread festive cheer, but nothing’s worse than receiving a box full of crumbled cookies. Make sure your baked goods packaging holds up this holiday season.
Whether your friends and family live across town or across the country, sending homemade baked goods for Christmas is a great way to share the holiday spirit. To make sure your treats will arrive just as fresh and as appetizing as when they were shipped, here are some tips for packaging and sending your holiday baked goods.
Christmas Baking Gift Ideas
- First off, make sure your treats are sturdy and can stand up to the rigors of shipping. Avoid fragile desserts that will crumble easily.
- Drop cookies or bars hold up well in transit, as do brownies and fudge. Seasonal bread in flavors like pumpkin or cranberry orange travel nicely, too.
- Variety is great, but be sure not to mix and match a lot of different flavors in one bag or box. Baked goods packaged in cramped quarters tend to absorb each other’s flavors.
- Gift baskets are a fun and attractive way to send Christmas goodies. Just make sure each item is individually and securely wrapped. Add some fruit and nuts to balance out the sweets.
- Fill a glass jar up with all the ingredients of your favorite cookie recipe, tie the recipe onto the lid, and wrap it all up with a Christmas ribbon! Small jars also work well for shipping single cupcakes.
What Packaging Do I Use?
The ideal time to pack up your baked goods is right after they have cooled completely, as this is when they will be their freshest. Then it’s just a matter of picking the packaging to send those treats off in!
