It's the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and your sister just texted a photo of the seating chart. Your name's not on it this year. Maybe it's the flights, maybe it's work, maybe it's a new baby who isn't ready for a six-hour car ride.
You can't pass the potatoes from three states away. But you can still send a Thanksgiving cookie gift to the table, and honestly, that counts for a lot.
Why Cookies Beat Another Bottle of Wine as a Hostess Gift
Every host gets wine. It goes in the pantry with the other four bottles and gets opened sometime around February.
Cookies get opened. Usually that night, usually by a nephew who's been told twice to wait until after dinner.
Going this year after all? Bring cookies anyway. The host has been cooking since 6 a.m. and deserves something she didn't have to make herself. Our thank you cookie gifts are made for exactly that.
Can You Send a Thanksgiving Cookie Gift If You Can't Be There?
Yes. Cookie Bouquets ships cookie gifts with next-day shipping available, so your family can have fresh baked cookies delivered even when you're stuck at home or working a holiday shift.
Then call during dinner. When they open the box with you on speakerphone and the whole kitchen cheers, you'll feel a little closer to the table.
You'll find this year's seasonal picks in our Thanksgiving cookie collection.
Baked the Way Grandma Did
Cookie Bouquets, a family bakery making handmade cookie bouquets since 1983, bakes every cookie fresh daily, one batch at a time, from grandma's recipes. Dinene Clark and her mother, Evelyn Smith, started it as a home-based family business after a simple baby shower gift grew into something bigger.
We still bake like a family kitchen, because we are one. Around here we joke that we're all grandmas now, and at Thanksgiving that feels exactly right.
A Few Quick Questions
Do you have options for gluten-free or sugar-free guests?
Yes. Cookie Bouquets offers gluten-free and sugar-free options, which makes them a thoughtful hostess gift when someone at the table has dietary needs. Browse our gluten-free and sugar-free cookies, or call 614-888-2171 and we'll help you choose something everyone can enjoy.
When should I order a Thanksgiving cookie gift?
Sooner is better, since Thanksgiving week is busy for shipping. For exact timing, call us at 614-888-2171 or toll-free at 888-544-8209, and we'll tell you what's realistic for your delivery date and location. We'd much rather give you a straight answer than a box that shows up Friday.
What if they don't love the cookies?
Every order from Cookie Bouquets comes with our 100% taste guarantee. Our cookies are handmade and baked fresh daily, one batch at a time, so what arrives tastes like it came out of a home kitchen. If something isn't right, call us at 614-888-2171.
If your chair is empty this year, send something sweet to sit in it. We'd be glad to bake it for you.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us grandmas at Cookie Bouquets
