It's no secret I'm a Christmas nut (yes, I'm the girl who has her tree up and most shopping done by December 1) - anything that has to do with Christmas brings me joy. It's especially fun for me when I'm able to combine my love of food with some Yule Tide spirit. Enter holiday baking. Last year, instead of store-bought presents, I decided to give most of the people in my life an assortment of homemade treats. It was such a success that I've decided to do the same thing this year.
I housed my cookies in holiday-themed tins from the
Dollar Store. The tins worked okay, but because there weren't any separate compartments, I found it difficult to keep the cookies apart (in my world, different flavoured cookies cannot touch...cross-flavour contamination merits its own blog post). I did some research and stumbled across
Golda's Kitchen, an online store (which recently opened a physical location) that sells anything and everything related to cooking - including cookie boxes with separate compartments.
Golda's Kitchen is like
Michael's - but focused entirely on cooking. Prices for many items are also slightly lower at Golda's.
Located at 2885 Argentia Road (unit 6) in Mississauga, Golda's Kitchen is a little bit off the beaten path. But I have to tell you: the drive is worth it.
P.S. I did get my cookie boxes. I'll post pics after I start to bake goodies for them. I'm still working out which 4 cookies to bake. So far: chocolate crackle, chocolate chip, chocolate cinnamon and TBC.
