Homemade Cookies - A Homemade Valentine's Day Gift

A nice homemade Valentine's Day gift, and one that is always well received, is a box of homemade cookies. These can be easy to make and customized to your loved one's individual taste buds!

Chocolate cookies, cream cheese cookies, sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies - all of which can be made into cute heart shapes with cookie cutters, and decorated with red, pink, and white sprinkles.

The presentation is especially what makes this gift a winner. One idea is to contain the cookies in an origami box that you can fold yourself with some festive cardboard and line with colorful tissue paper. You could include a homemade card in the box and roll your own ribbon to hold it all together.

The best thing about this gift is that it is easy to share, affordable when you are on a tight budget, and most importantly, it is a truly personal gesture without being commercial. The person receiving it is sure to feel all warm and fuzzy when you give them a beautiful box full of delicious cookies!
