Make a mixed tin. Line the bottom and sides with corrugated paper. Fold short lengths in half for dividers.
Envelop your cookies in tissue paper, buffer them with corrugated paper tubes, or protect them using accordion-folds of red paper. You can also tie a stack of cookies with baker's twine.

If you haven't made the lime meltaways, I urge you to do so! They are simply delicious! The kitchen AND your hands smell so good from juicing and zesting the limes. I also love the Lime Glazed cookies. They are slice and bake, so can be made way ahead of time. Have fun!
in the lower right hand quadrants it looks like the earl grey tea cookies and lime meltaways. The rectangle on the bottom looks like an ice box or slice
