If your girlfriend loves cookies or biscuits or brownies or flapjack or any treats that you can cut into small sizes then why not make her some as a present and put them in a beautiful jar - she'll love it! The picture below shows some cookies that were a present for a friend of mine. They're really easy to make and you can find a recipe in this post here (I used 2/3 of the recipe and made nearly 40 cookies). Pick 2 or 3 shapes and then 2 or 3 colours for icing and go wild with decorating them. If she prefers brownies or any other kind of biscuits then try and make those if you can! If you're not a brilliant baker then you could try looking in local stores and independent bakeries to see if they sell any good quality, homemade biscuits or treats that you could use. Then all you have to do is buy a really pretty jar or biscuit tin or box and put them all inside. Add a really pretty ribbon around the top and it's finished!
Aren't they just so cute with the little eyes on! They're really easy to make and look absolutely beautiful when they're inside a pretty jar so try something new and bake a few cookies.
If you can't find a pretty jar or only need a little present then you can make a little bag instead. You can download the template for the packets from here and you'll need to buy cellophane bags (9'x3'x2') which you place inside. If you want to make them look like the ones below then punch two holes near the top and thread some ribbon through and tie it neatly in a bow.
