guy gift idea- frozen cookie dough

homemade frozen cookie dough (guy gift idea!)

I am going to let y’all in on a little secret- I give Adam homemade frozen cookie dough for *almost* every holiday (birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day- cookie dough for all!).

Since it is the biggest hit ever with Adam, I tucked a ‘tube’ of frozen cookie dough into a birthday gift for one of Adam’s friends (hence- cute packaging).

And since gifts-for-guys are SO HARD (and since frozen cookie dough has worked out great for us), I thought I’d pass along the details.

I think most cookie dough recipe would work probably works, but I always make either cowboy cookies or chocolate chip cookies (both of those recipes work for sure!). To make it as user-friendly as possible for the recipient, just make the cookie dough, scoop into cookie-sized servings, place each one on a cookie sheet lined with baking paper and freeze for individual, cookie-sized servings.

For the packaging, I took a paper towel tube and sliced up one edge. Then I lined the interior with baking paper and filled the lined tube with frozen cookies.

After taping up the tube, adding tissue paper ‘wrapping’ and labeling with C-O-O-K-I-E D-O-U-G-H stickers and directions, these little gems were ready to gift!

True story- as I was typing this post, I thought of three guys that will be receiving homemade frozen cookie dough as part of their Christmas presents this year- haha!

Happy cookie dough guy gifting, friends!

DIY messenger bag

How to make your own messenger bag (with a padded laptop pocket!). This one is a diaper bag, but it'd make a great travel bag or laptop bag...

Even though I made this as a diaper bag (for my sweet sister-in-law who is wading through their own adoption process), this messenger bag could totally be used for non-baby functions. In fact, it’d make a perfect travel bag. Or laptop bag. And it’d make a GREAT Mother’s Day gift. It is time consuming, but […]

no-sew leather passport cover

These leather passport covers are the perfect gift for a dad who loves to travel! Plus, it's the easiest project ever!

It is a bit of a circus to travel internationally with young kids. Since 24+ hours of travel time feels long to adults, it feels like forever to little kids. There are extra carryons everywhere and none of the devices seem to keep their charge and every meal is far longer and more complicated than […]

DIY gift idea- homemade grapefruit sugar scrub

DIY gift idea- homemade grapefruit rosemary sugar scrub

Did you know that during college, I worked as a shampoo girl at a salon on main street in Grove City (the little college town where I went to school)? Not only did that little stint introduce me to all sorts of expensive hair products that I am still trying to quit (I hate when […]
