There are many Christmas food gifts available, but a gift that touches the heart is rare to find. I am not talking about delicious chocolates or smoked seafood, which is seldom remembered. But I am going to talk about a Christmas gift which is created, the moment it was destroyed. Confused? Don’t be.
Imagine you are making your friend’s favorite cookies and it gets crushed in the middle of answering a doorbell, or while attending to any other emergency, I know your heart gets crushed at the same time. But you do not have to feel bad about it, remember the functionality of best out of waste at that time. Well someone might have turned with the idea to give rise to the Dust Pan Cookies.
You either prepare cookies or purchase some freshly baked cookies from the market, crumble these cookies into a piece or two and brush them off or sweep the pieces and collect them in a clean dust pan and wrap it with a cellophane paper or a clean food storage wrap. Tie the mouth of the wrapping with a cellophane ribbon and make the package as attractive as possible.
It is not necessary to brush off the crumbled cookies into the dust pan you can also pack it up with candies, chocolates and delicious finger foods. The bottom line is that the extremely simple dust pan stuff will represent the simplicity in Christmas showing your loved ones how much it is from the heart…and it’s cheap too.
For tag you can create your own lines or go for the lines written by Cynthia. My tagging for the Dust Pan Cookies would be:
Bits and pieces that will stay forever,
Bits and pieces as they were broken,
Bits and pieces, as they had my love for you,
Bits and pieces that I swept off and wrapped for you.
Isn’t it real fun packing cookies this way and writing your own tags, may be this will become one of the trends in future…just go for it at:
