A golden succulent turkey, luscious potatoes prepared just the way you like them with loads of silky butter, pies for miles (but somehow they don’t last very long), and of course, that marvelous stuffing…what a day! A day to give thanks for all the wealth of abundance that we enjoy, whatever that abundance may be: love, laughter, happiness, time with family, food, energy and health, monetary means, or perhaps opportunities of progression. We all have abundance in some way or another. Thanksgiving Day is a perfect day to remember just how much we really do have.

Delight friends, family, and associates with an elegantly packaged box brimming with deliciousness and let them just know how much you appreciate them! Can’t make it to Thanksgiving at your family’s home this year? Send them a sweet “Wish I were there!” box of gourmet cookies to brighten their holiday while you’re away—not that cookies could ever replace you, but perhaps it can help to ‘smooth things over’ with the family!

A beautiful way to display your desserts is by presenting one of the Heidi’s Heavenly Cookies signature heirloom trays that serve from 25 to 50 people, starting at $35. Each have an assortment of delicious cookie flavors including: Toffee Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate Eclipse, and others depending on the size of  your chosen platter.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving festivities and celebrations with a touch of sweetness!
