Aside from a gift for your sweetie and the kids, most of us check out the candy aisle or online chocolate shop for the inevitable chocolates. However, don't you feel just a little guilty presenting your desperately dieting sweetie with a few thousand calories in a box? Lovely as these are on the palate, the high-calorie, irresistible indulgences will undoubtedly pack on a few pounds in no time. So where can you find an equally lovely and tempting alternative, that lightens the calories, but still expressing your undying love? Valentine cookie gifts fill the bill!
Unlike chocolates, which essentially all look the same delicious from the outside, Valentine cookie gifts come in almost endless variety of decorative designs and 'finishes', colorful, cute, imaginative and a perfect expression of your love. The variety you'll find in bakeries at this time of year is truly awesome. In addition to your local bakeries, don't forget to cruise the online bakeries too. Both types of bakeries offer a 'customer pick' of Valentine cookie gifts with which to fill an attractively decorated basket, cookie jar or sophisticated and beribboned box.
While that box of chocolate truffles does make the recipient's eyes open wide with delight, your assortment of Valentine cookie gifts are replete with entertainment. Looking over each cookie brings a smile to anyone's face, unaccompanied by a fearsome load of guilt over eating them.
Another advantage of the Valentine gift cookies package over the box of chocolates lies in the diversity of the contents. Naturally, you'll include several heart shaped cookies, butter cookies decorated with little hearts in red and pink gel designs and chocolate cookies with cute little red eyebrows, blue eyes and a big smiley red mouth. Food-safe glitter, heart-shaped cookies on a stick tied with a slim satin ribbon are just a few of the tempting baked goodies you'll find those imaginative bakers displaying in all their loveliness.
Both kids and adults love the Valentine cookie gifts idea, especially those who are watching their waistlines. For those who must restrict their sugar consumption for medical reasons, such as being diabetic, look for bakeries that offer cookies made with Splenda(TM), safe for diabetics and every bit as tasty as those made with sugar.
Perhaps it's the entertainment value that makes that basket of Valentine cookie gifts last longer. A truffle is a truffle, but cookies are an art form in their own right. This means you'll want to make a closer inspection of this cute, colorful cookie before you pop it in your mouth. Stored in a cookie jar, or nestled between sheets of waxed paper, helps keep your Valentine gift cookies fresh.
Be daring this year, while being kind to the dieters. Your Valentine cookie gifts will be well received. If your list of cookie fiends is large, you'll also save a considerable amount on this luxury gift of love. Happy Valentine's to you and yours!
