[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 642378, member: 17461"] This is what we did for husband' mom. We went to Publix, and to an Italian bakery, and to Sam's Club. [I]The most delicious cookies came from Sam's Club.[/I] ! We found there (for only $10) a beautifully packaged tray of baklava. We found biscotti and some other kind of Italian cookie husband remembered at an Italian market. And we found Italian sugar cookies at Publix. We lined a priority ship box from the P.O. with red tissue and then, foil. First layer was baklava wrapped in foil. Then, the various packages of Italian cookies and biscotti in their original packaging. Red tissue on top. It was beautiful ~ far more beautiful than anything we could have ordered, and was filled with exactly the kinds of things she will like, because husband remembered them, too. Plus, we had enough baklava (for only $10!) to share a little with the neighbor lady across the street, send to one of our grandchildren who will be spending her first Christmas alone, and some for ourselves, too. Then? We had company come to stay. And they brought every kind of Christmas cookie from home. :O) Cedar We are sending them back to the cold, snowy Northland with grapefruit we will pick from our tree the morning they are due to leave. Perfect. [/QUOTE]
