Hey that sounds like a great idea!!! How about packing them in popcorn!!! Its a natural cushion for the cookies without using styrofoam. And the post office approves!

Gosh is this fun or what? Just thinking about making cookies for Christmas Cards get's me excited. I can't wait to see what people think when they receive one. I'm actually thinking if the family has children, making one for each family member with their name on it. Is there nothing better than seeing a childs eyes light up when they receive a small gift?

There used to be an amazing cookie company that did cards. I can't seem to find the site right now, but for inspiration...here is a company that is doing Halloween cookie cards:

So bubble envelopes you think would be the best way?

I do not want to pay an arm and a leg shipping. I shipped 6 sugar cookes as part of an exchange and the postage was 6.00!!!!!! I want to make it still be able to be classified as a letter (we have a certain thickness up here in Canada it can be)

I just shipped 24 cookies to New York and postage by Purolator 1 day service was $68.30....AND the service took 3 days to clear customs! icon_mad.gificon_evil.giftapedshut.gif

Flowerpot, I love this idea. I may have to join in with this one as well. I just bought a 4 or 5 in square cookie cutter. Decorating it with a holiday message would put a smile on all of my family's faces. I can't wait to practice this technique. I am making halloween and christmas cookies as I am typing this just for practice. Too bad I didn't read this post first.

At least I'll have another excuse to make more cookies icon_biggrin.gif

By the way, I purchased some cookie cutters from cookiecutters.com and I love them. I just received them this week. You will truly enjoy them.

AgentCakeBaker--so glad your joining in on the fun. I just finished 2 dozen 4 inch pumpkin and ghosts . I didn't decorate them yet, just stuck them in the freezer. I'll use these for the grandkids to decorate this weekend. I can't believe in all these years, I've never seen cookie bouquets before--boy where have I been? lol lol Anyway, can't wait to start my Christmas Cards...not just sure how many I'll make yet, but the possibilities are endless. Have a great day!
