Homemade Christmas Cookie Gifts Packaging Ideas


If you’re thinking of baking things for Christmas and holiday gifts this year, you’re going to need packaging to wrap things up. Baking during the holidays is a time-honored tradition, both for yourself and to give gifts to friends, family, and coworkers. Adding a personal touch is easy if you use our customized labels and gift tags.

Custom labels for baked goods.

You can get free printable labels from a lot of places, but if you want to upgrade things a little you can order labels and packaging with your name and the type of product in the package. They look nicer than something you download and print yourself, and some of the ones that I’ve designed also have room for ingredients. That can be important for people who have food allergies.

Custom stickers for food gifts.

Stickers are good for things that are going to be hard to attach a gift tag to. You can stick them to plastic wrap, gift wrap, boxes, or things that are oddly-shaped, so they’re really versatile. I’ve designed stickers that have more or less information on them so you can add the ingredients, the name of the product, and your name if you want to put more or less details on them.


Gift tags.

Gift tags are nice if you want to use the back to write a personal message, or if you want to put information about the product on them. You can also add a general holiday greeting to the back of the tags when you order them so that you don’t have to add a message by hand.

Cookie boxes are good if you want to have a way to protect the baked goods when you move them around. Boxes have a limited capacity, though, so make sure that you’re ordering some that are big enough for what you want to put in them! The boxes that I’ve designed have a place on the side for ingredients, or you can delete the text from the template and write things in by hand if you don’t know what you’ll be putting in the boxes.


Gift bags.

Gift bags are good for things like mini loaves and cookies that you’ve put into baggies. You can do an assortment of treats and put them in the bag with a gift tag that matches. I also have tissue paper that matches this design, so you can add that to complete the look!

Labels with a “from my kitchen” theme.

Wreath themed gift tags and stickers.

These wreath-themed gift tags have a space for the type of product you made, your name, and a message. The backs are blank so that you can write a message to the person you’re giving it to. Add them to gift bags or loaf pans that are wrapped with ribbon.

They have a hand drawn Christmas holly design in different colors.
