Wouldn’t it be weird if next Christmas you made all your holiday cookies in the shape of the number 400? That’s some yummy word-of-mouth marketing.
This year we sent our clients and friends bespoke ‘400’ cookie cutters complete with a recipe card for Christmas gingerbread to encourage a return to the good old-fashioned, ‘home-made’ approach to seasonal gift-giving.
Packed in snowball-like polystyrene beads, the cutters were threaded with red and white twine to allow them to also be hung as decorations, while the gift-tag recipe cards were hand-stamped on heavy-weight board to emphasise the hand-crafted feel.
This post was published in the original layout of FPO so all images are smaller. Project descriptions as well as production lessons are quoted in the main content area.
