The famous cookie box from Ms. Gay!

As you read a few weeks ago, I partook in COOKIE DAY at the Hanby household. We had a blast and last week I reaped the benefits of being the cookie b.

I am the only recipient of the cookie box that can CHOOSE the cookies that go in my box. I stopped by their house last week to visit with Courtney, Riley and Ms. Gay when she suggested I make my cookie box. As these are the only sweets I bring into my house during the holidays, I accepted her offer and created my box.

Here were just a few of my options:

Here is the finished box..Notice the adorable new ribbon Ms. Gay ordered!

When you open the cookie box you might be confused by what cookies you  have, but do not fret! Ms. Gay makes a cookie key! I just love that woman.

If you want to know my favorites, here you go:

I know you are drooling and are completely jealous. I am sorry to report there are no cookies left. Doug and I killed them in 2 days! They were so delicious.

I love every aspect of this gift.
1. It is all about effort. It takes Ms. Gay hours and hours to bake/cook/make all these cookies. You know she must love you if you get a box.
2. It is personal…not just a gift card or a gift out of the $5.00 bin at Target. She gives you the cookies you love.
3. It is a tradition and I love traditions.
4. Lastly, they are all calorie free as it is Christmas!

I would love to do something like this for my friends in the next few years when Ms. Gay retires from the cookie box business. :) Until then, you can find me baking with the Hanby/Devlin clan on Cookie Day.
