Packing Holiday Edible Gifts

For yummy baked treats like double-chocolate cranberry cookies or peppermint patties, festive tins and patterned paper are in order. You can go with a kit, like Paula Deen's six-piece Blue Cookie Gift Kit ($15), or put together your own package starting with a solid red tin ($4), some chic baking cups ($4) for the cookies, and either glamorous lace tissue paper ($12) or whimsical polka-dot waxed tissue ($12) to line the tin. If you really want the sweets to shine, use a cellophane gift bag ($20 for 12) or wrap cellophane around this China Strawberry Basket ($20) and secure with red and white baker's twine ($15).
