Cookie Exchange Boxes

A few years ago when I hosted a cookie exchange I made these cookie exchange boxes so my cookie exchange guests could take their cookie exchange cookies home in style.

I make cute little cookie exchange party favors and attached one to each cookie exchange box with a cookie exchange thank you tag.

You can find the instructions for the cookie exchange favors and the free printables on my Christmas Cookie Exchange Thank You Gift Tags post.

You can find the instructions and free printables I used for the cookie exchange boxes on my Christmas Cookie Exchange Take Home Box Labels post.
