Cookies For Special Occasions
Our cookie gift packages are the perfect way to celebrate these occasions. They’re a touch of home and something everyone can appreciate—even that person who “already has everything.” Whether you’re sending gourmet cookies as a corporate gift or a sympathy package, you can send some extra care for life’s big occasions with the personal touch of fresh baked cookies.
Remember the first time someone made you feel special? Maybe it was a parent praising you for sharing your toys with a sibling, a teacher posting your awesome art project on the classroom wall, or that kid at recess asking you to be on his kickball team.
Admit it…you love feeling special. We all do! And you have the power to do that for other people.
As a fellow earthling, we’re sure you’ve figured out that life can get a little humdrum. Get up. Go to work or school. Come home. Take out the trash. Pay the bills. Fix the leaky faucet. Go to bed. Rinse. Repeat.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can break the cycle and make things special for a loved one—and for yourself in the process.
But how, you ask? May we suggest the powerful elixir of gourmet cookies.
At Chocolate Shipped Cookies, we know the power of a tasty surprise to make life special. And we’re here to make it easy for you to send that surprise with our cookie box deliveries.
Whether you’re reaching out to a loved one away from home, sending condolences, welcoming a new baby, or simply telling someone you’re thinking of them for no particular reason, we’re your go-to source for special occasion gift packages.
Why Send Cookies?
Which is to say, why not flowers, or a mug, or a sensible gift certificate? Like a Jedi lightsaber, cookies have special powers. Maybe they can’t deflect incoming blaster bolts, but they can ward off feelings of isolation or loneliness or sadness in the lives of those you love. Here’s how.
- One bite of nostalgia after another. Few things can take you back in time like a taste or a smell. Bite into one of our sweet and soft snickerdoodles or perfectly crisp-on-the-outside-gooey-in-the-middle chocolate chip cookies, and it’s like you’re in a time warp. You’re back to Grandma’s kitchen or family picnics, sinking your teeth into a home baked gourmet cookie. Cookies are special because most of us have had a positive experience with them in the past, and smelling and tasting home baked cookies anew transports you back to those happy times. Cookies=sentimentality points for the win!
- Personal. There are any number of one-size-fits-all gifts out there: stark, proper, tidy little gifts from distant benefactors. But cookies aren’t created in some widget factory. Anybody who has made them knows the effort required: the mixing and measuring, the scooping the dough into even mounds, the careful watching until your cookies emerge from the oven, baked to perfection. Cookies require TLC, and, in turn, they transmit that TLC better than generic, mass-produced gifts. Whether you’re saying congratulations with baby shower cookie gifts or cheering on your church missionary in a distant state with a missionary cookie box, you’ll pack a personal punch with the power of cookies.
- Just can’t get enough. Trying to buy a special occasion gift package for the person who has everything? If they need it, they’ll buy it for themself, right? The socks, the jewelry, the tie tack, the cufflinks….they have plenty. But cookies are different. You can’t have too many cookies. Everybody could use a freshly baked indulgence, no matter who they are.
- Shareable. We all like to feel generous, and cookie gift packages make that possible. When you send your loved one a dozen chocolate chip cookies, they can eat their fill, then share them. Suddenly, they’re the hands-down favorite neighbor or co-worker thanks to their chocolate chip cookie gift.
Say thank you in an unforgettable way with thank you cookies. Mark your loved one’s big day with a birthday cookie delivery. No matter the occasion, cookies are the perfect gift.
Why Choose Chocolate Shipped Cookies?
We know we’re not the only act in town; lots of cookie delivery companies have jumped on the bandwagon. But here’s how we outshine the competition:
- Taste. This is the granddaddy of all cookie features, and we’ve got it nailed. Chances are, you’ve bitten into a bakery cookie and found it to be a pretty “meh” experience. Decent, but not like Mom’s. No matter how good a cookie company’s marketing or their fancy packaging, there’s no getting around the taste issue. From one satisfied customer to the next, the most common feedback we hear is that our cookies are unparalleled in their taste. This has to do with:
- Our ingredients. Put good stuff in, get good stuff out. There’s no escaping that mantra. A lot of companies started out using real butter and sugar, then start cutting corners to save a buck. Our ingredients are the same as they’ve always been. We refuse to use oils or syrups just to bring our production costs down. Never have, never will.
- Our recipes. These are the same recipes our mom created in our childhood kitchen. Batch after batch, she finessed them so that they were the pinnacle of perfect taste and texture. There was magic in those recipes; everybody knew she was the best baker in town. We’re true to those painstakingly perfected recipes. One bite, and you’ll taste the difference.
- Advanced Baking Technology. Take the same batch of cookie dough, tweak the baking time and temperature from batch to batch, and you’ll end up with totally different cookies. The baking process is just as important as the dough itself. We have invested in state-of-the-art ovens engineered specifically for baking cookies. Not cakes, not muffins, not a pot roast…just cookies. These ovens allow us to create the perfect cookie, slightly crisp on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth soft in the middle. Not only does this create the most satisfying texture, it also ensures longer-lasting freshness. Other cookies start losing their mojo overnight, but our baking technology keeps our cookies tasting perfectly fresh for days.
- Perfect Packaging. Once we went from Utah’s favorite cookie bakery to a nationwide cookie delivery service, we had to make sure our cookies stayed fresh during shipping. A lot of this came down to careful packaging. Cookie + air = stale cookie. That’s why our cookie gift sets are packaged in airtight sleeves, then repackaged in a second round of airtight sleeves. Double the protection, double the freshness. When our cookie gift packages arrive at your loved one’s door, they’ll taste like they’re straight out of the oven.
Don’t Let the Special Occasions Pass You By
Want to change the world? We like to think it can happen one comfort cookie delivery at a time. Is your loved one feeling under the weather? Recovering from surgery? Reeling from the loss of a beloved pet or the breakup of a longstanding relationship? Living in a college dorm or serving a church mission halfway across the country? Turning 50? Getting a promotion at work? Expecting a baby?
Show your love and care in a very memorable way…not just a half-baked one (see what we did there?). Here’s why we believe that going out of your way to do something special really matters:
- Strengthens the relationship. Relationships are like gardens; they need care and feeding. The thoughtful text you send to your friend, the call you place to wish her good luck on her work presentation, and the little gifts you give for her birthday or just because…these things elevate you from acquaintances to dear friends.
- Lifts others (sometimes more than you know). A mentor of ours shared this advice: “When you meet someone, treat them as if they are in serious trouble, and you will be right more than half the time.” Life is tough, and you never know what someone is going through. A surprise at the door (especially a cookie-licious one) can have a bigger impact than you might expect, helping someone feel loved, seen, and valued when they need it most.
- Turns your focus outward. Is there anything more human-nature-y than thinking of ourselves first? We all do it, especially when life gets busy or stressful, but it’s not particularly good for us, and it’s not good for the people around us. Gift giving helps you turn your thoughts from your own problems to the people who surround you. In the process, your own heart and character will expand. We’re happier and better when we’re thinking about others. Meaningful gift giving allows this to happen.
- Changes the world (or at least your corner of it). Ever find yourself down and distressed about the state of the world? Rather than fretting, do something today to make it better. When you do something special for the people around you, you not only brighten their day, but you can kick off a chain of events that lights up many lives. Colds are contagious, but good works are, too! When the guy in front of you in the drive-through lane surprises you by paying for your fast food tab, you’re more likely to do the same for the guy behind you. When the lady at the mall compliments your new hairdo, you’re more likely to praise someone else. You can literally change the world by doing special things for others. That’s why sending mail order cookies to a friend on their birthday is about much more than just the cookies. Be the change!
What are the Best Special Occasion Cookies to Send?
The first thing you’ll want to decide is whether to send a single flavor or an assortment. If you’re sending an assortment, you can let us pick a few favorites, or you can choose your own combo. Conveniently, we offer 12 different flavors, so if you’re adventurous or simply indecisive, pick one of each.
- For the chocolate lovers: Try brownie marshmallow or brownie mint, milk chocolate chip, or semi-sweet chocolate chip cookies.
- For the traditionalists: Bring on the classics with glazed sugar cookies, oatmeal raisin, or snickerdoodles.
- For a fresh take: Want something refreshing and light? Slightly tart, slightly sweet, and light as air? Our lemon meltaways will dazzle your loved one.
- For the nutty ones: Peanut butter fanatics will find their nirvana with our classic peanut butter chip or double frosted peanut butter chip cookies. Pecan lovers will savor the richness of our white chocolate pecan cookies.
Corporate Cookie Gifts for Special Occasions
Turns out, businesses work a lot like personal relationships. If you want people to buy stuff from you, they need to trust you and like you first. According to a study by Adobe, 70 Percent of customers choose to purchase more goods and services from brands that they trust.
In just the same way that you’d build a relationship with friends by remembering their special occasions, you can do this with potential clients and referral sources. Cookies are especially nice because they feed a crowd. Send a couple dozen chocolate chip cookies to the CEO, and we’re guessing that they’ll trickle down to other employees. This means that when you send corporate cookie gifts, many people get the chance to see what your brand is all about.
Life is short, make it special with special occasion gifts from Chocolate Shipped Cookies. You won’t find a better quality cookie, and we make it easy to get the cookies to your loved ones anywhere around the country. Whether you want to send a get well gift, a sympathy gift, or a thinking of you gift, simply place the cookie delivery order online, and we’ll get to work baking the perfect cookies for the people you love.
