When People Need Cookies the Most

You can only drive a car for so long before it needs refueling, and humans are not much different. We eat and drink regular foods every day, and that keeps our physical energy up, but sometimes it takes cookies to raise our spirits and our emotional energy. Sometimes a delivery of a plate of cookies shows up at just the right time, and turns a bad day into a delightful one. If you’re looking to pick something out from Cookies by Design and give it as a gift, it’s important to get the timing right. Fortunately, there are a few occasions that make for perfect timing.

Holidays
The holiday season is a great time to give a plate of cookies to someone you know, or even someone you don’t know. It may seem like everybody is baking sweets this time of year, but you never know who is feeling left out. When the seasonal music is playing and the snow is falling, it’s very important that everyone have a snack to nibble on. Other holidays, especially birthdays, call for celebratory cookies as well.

Recovering
If somebody is sick or hurt and is stuck at home recovering, it’s a great idea to send a get-well-soon plate or basket of treats. Spending all your time resting and recovering can be frustrating and boring, so anything you can do to make this recovery period more enjoyable will be much appreciated.

Doldrums
Doldrums are periods of inactivity and depression, and these happen several times a year. Sometimes we get into a routine with work or school where every day feels the same, but each day seems to sap a little more of our spirits. Each day spills into the next, and nothing is memorable; that is, unless you find a surprise plate of cookies waiting for you! Whoever planned out holidays did a poor job of spreading them out, so there are several month gaps with no real holidays. Choosing out a gift from Cookies by Design and delivering it during the midst of one of these holiday dry-spells might just be the best possible timing.
