Special Delivery: Treats to Make and Send with Love

DIY treats to send with love | Orange macaroons

While you can’t always give someone a hug in person, you can send them some comfort and joy, sprinkled with sunshine in a package wrapped with love. These orange flavored cookies and treats package well for shipping and are a sweet version of a hug that is sure to bring about a smile.

Sprinkled with Sunshine

Orange is a scent, that according to aromatherapy texts, relieves anxiety and stress, providing a perfect antidote for grey days. The color itself is reported to increase oxygen supply to the brain and stimulates mental activity … sort of a quick boost of encouragement. And, it adds a nice bright taste to winter dessert.

Wrapped with Love

Package treats to delight the eye as much as the tastebuds. Have fun with beautiful papers, tins, baskets or fabric to present your creations. Use special ribbons or string and consider making your own decorative papers, cards or packaging. (It doesn’t have to be perfect!) You can even use upcycled materials. For practical purposes, padding may be necessary for shipping and plastic or glass may be needed for air-tight freshness. Choose containers with loveliness, as well as shipping, in mind.
