I got inspired by all the beautiful cookie bouquets I've seen on this website, and decided to do some as thank-yous for Christmas. I came across some beautiful coffee mugs at Michael's this weekend...at only $1 each! I stuck with the snowmen and the penguins, as they can be used all winter once the cookies are gone. If you live by a Michael's, check them out!
Thanks Gemini I will check it out. I got some at Walmart (coffee cups) in winter themes for 60 cents but would like some other designs!
The dollar store in my area has great coffee mugs ( the huge ones) for well, $1. I never thought of a coffee mug for the cookie container. I was thinking of painting a terra cotta pot and using that
Gemini, I got the same containers for the same purpose. They are so cute and for a buck, how can you pass it up even if you don't end up using it....lol!
Great idea for the coffee cups!!
I don't know about the price thing. I charge $25.00 for a bouquet that has 7 cookies in it. Guess we could divide that by the number of cookies. Would make it about 3.50 each. Hope that helps some
I forgot to mention that I also bought styrofoam balls that fit into the cups. I plan to stick the cookies into that, and then cover the top with holiday candies. I'd hate to come up with a price, but since they're gifts, I don't have to worry about that.
I used mugs for my last (and only) cookie bouquet, (see in my photots) I got it at the dollar tree! They had some really great containers for bouquets. happy baking!
