Dollar Tree Heart Boxes Make Grocery Store Cookies Feel Like a Valentine’s Gift

This post was sponsored by Rich’s Products. The original giveaway has ended.

I gave these little boxes of grocery store treats to people I’d just met through a friend. They were new in town, so I put the boxes in a Valentine’s bag and handed it over with a “Welcome to the Carolinas!” You could do the same for a teacher, coworker, or friend with a stop at the grocery store and a few heart-shaped boxes from Dollar Tree.

Pack the cookies or cupcakes

Line a heart-shaped box with food-safe tissue or parchment, then stack the cookies inside or nestle a few cupcakes in their liners. Tuck shredded Valentine’s filler around the food-safe liner, keeping the filler away from the baked goods. Put the lids on, stack the boxes, and tie them with a ribbon.

Make a pedestal dish for wrapped treats

Trace a clear plate onto heart-patterned tissue paper and cut out the shape. Use Mod Podge to attach it to the underside of the plate. I hot-glued the plate to a candlestick I’d decorated with sparkle. Leave the top of the plate undecorated and set wrapped candies or cupcakes in their liners on it.
