The Hostess Box | Holiday Gift Set | Premium Cookie Assortment

Show Up With Something They'll Actually Remember

You've been invited to dinner. Or that holiday party where you need to bring something that says "I have taste" without saying "I tried too hard."

This is that box.

What's Inside:

• 3 Thick & Chewy Chocolate Chip Bars — Our legendary signature bars. Kerrygold butter, pasture-raised eggs, real chocolate. The ones everyone fights over. This is the equivalent of one dozen regular cookies, as you cut each one into 4. 
• 6 Matcha Amaretti Cookies — Delicate, gluten-free meringue cookies with ceremonial-grade Smith Tea matcha. Crispy outside, chewy inside. The sophisticated choice.

Wrapped and ready. No assembly required. Just hand it over and accept the compliments.

Why This Box Works

Variety Without Overwhelm
Two very different cookies. One classic crowd-pleaser (chocolate chip). One elegant conversation starter (matcha). Covers every personality at the party.

Dietary Flexibility Built In
The matcha amaretti are naturally gluten-free. So when someone says "I can't eat gluten," you can say "these are for you" and look like a hero.

Premium Ingredients They'll Notice
These aren't grocery store cookies. Kerrygold Irish grass-fed butter. Pasture-raised eggs with deep orange yolks. Smith Tea ceremonial-grade matcha from Japan. Real chocolate. The kind of ingredients people ask about.

Actually Gift-Ready
We package this to look like you put thought into it (you did — you chose us). No rewrapping. No hunting for a gift bag at 7pm. Just go.

What People Say When They Open It

"Wait, where did you get these?"
"These are incredible."
"You have to tell me where to order more."

That's the goal. You show up, you hand it over, you look thoughtful. Mission accomplished.

FAQ:

Q: How far in advance should I order?

A: Order by Tuesday 11:59 PM for Wednesday shipping. For holiday parties, we recommend ordering at least 5-7 days ahead to guarantee arrival.

Q: Is this actually gift-ready, or do I need to wrap it? 

A: It's ready. We package the box nicely — you just hand it over. If you want to add your own ribbon or bag, go for it, but it's not necessary.

Q: Can you include a gift note?

A: Yes! Add your message at checkout and we'll include a handwritten card inside. No extra charge.

Q: What if they have dietary restrictions?

A: The 6 matcha amaretti cookies are gluten-free (made with almond flour). The chocolate chip bars contain wheat. We note all allergens clearly, so your host knows what's what.

Q: How long do these stay fresh?

A: Sealed, they're good for 2-3 weeks. We pack with oxygen absorbers to extend shelf life. Perfect for ordering ahead of holiday events.

Q: Can I order multiples for different parties?

A: Absolutely. Stock up for the whole holiday season. Same shipping cost whether you order 1 or 5.

Q: What's the difference between this and buying cookies separately?

A: This is curated, packaged as a gift, and ready to hand over. Buying separately means you're assembling it yourself. This saves you time and looks more intentional.

Q: Is this available year-round or just for holidays?

A: We created it for holiday hosting season, but it works anytime you need a "thank you" gift — housewarming, dinner party, weekend at someone's cabin. We'll keep it available as long as people keep buying it.
