I’ve posted a few times about my plans on making Christmas candies and cookies for gifts this year, and while I was excited about making it all, I knew that I didn’t have enough containers to put all of my goods in. I wasn’t worried, because I figured I could pick up a few containers at the dollar store, or some Glad containers which the recipient could use again. My trip to the thrift store this week allowed me to pick up a few great Christmas tins that will work great for my gifts. I’m sure that people get these tins every year with Christmas candies or cookies, and I am so glad that my thrift store had some available.
These will work really nicely because I can cut parchment paper out in the shape of the tin and separate all of the layers this way. The tins were priced at a $.25 each, so I grabbed six of them. My son has taken claim to one of them, so I’ll make do with the five that are left in addition to what I already had here at the house. Now all I have left to do is make the cookies and candies, fill the tins, and put either a pretty bow or ribbon on the tin.
