I have a question re: food items.
Your list includes homemade cookies. How can we do that since it takes at least two weeks to deliver. Is there something I don't know because, I would love to send cookies to my solider :)
Fawnn, oh great cook! :) Got a question for you regarding packing cookies to make them arrive fresh.
Other than, of course, mailing them to ME FIRST so I can sample them. (har!)
D'oh!
Can't believe I just remembered this!
Shipping cookies without having them break is fairly simple, especially at this time of year. Go to your local Wal-Mart, Target, Wal-Green, Osco, Rite-Aid, etc. and pick up a round decorative tin. Everyone has them. They hold a coupla dozen cookies easily. Put your cookies in a zip-lock for freshness (and to keep the sand out)! Put them in the tin, add tissue paper if they don't fit snugly. Use clear packing tape to seal the tin, again to keep the sand out.
Voila! Fresh whole cookies and a decorative touch of home to boot.
