When recipients expect cardboard boxes and paper bags, there's something special about great reusable packaging. Nothing is more nostalgic than receiving a tasty homemade treat in a vintage tin. Scottish-made tartanware containers have become collector's items, and when used in holiday gift-giving, the wrapping becomes part of the gift. If a tartanware tin can't be found, any vintage container can be used instead and reused over and over again.

Choose a color of tissue paper that complements the design of your vintage tin. Red and green are standard wear colors and go great with tartanware, but adding a complementary hue to your color palette can add an unexpected twist when you open the tin.

Place your homemade cookies in the tin. Once the tin is filled, fold the excess tissue paper over the cookies and secure the lid. Cover with a neatly tied bow.
