We've been keeping a close eye on what's flying off our shelves this holiday season, and let's just say... you guys have been keeping us BUSY! Some products are breaking records, others are selling out faster than we can keep up, and a few might surprise you!

So, we're spilling the tea! ☕ What's everyone buying? What's almost gone? And what should you be adding to your holiday treat menu that you might not have thought of yet?

We're sharing all of that AND some clever packaging swaps for the products you've already sold us out of!

If you're still planning your holiday markets or looking for a little last-minute inspiration, this one's for you!

🎄 Calendar Planning Tip 8: Filling Your Calendars, Assembly-Line Style! 🍪❤️

You've baked, decorated, heat sealed, and folded your boxes. Now it's time for the FUN part... filling those Advent Calendars! 🎉

When it comes time to fill mine, I like to work assembly-line style to make the whole process as quick and easy as possible!

🍪 HERE'S HOW I DO IT!

First, I lay out all of my calendar trays across the counter. Then, I grab my container of Day 1 cookies and place one in the first spot of EVERY tray.

Once Day 1 is done, I move on to Day 2, then Day 3, and so on until every little spot is filled!

This way, I'm not constantly switching between cookie designs or trying to remember which cookie goes where. It's SO much easier, especially when you're filling a whole bunch of calendars! 🙌

Once all the trays are filled, I stack them up to get some of that precious counter space back (because we all know how quickly that disappears during holiday baking! 😂). Then, I slide the trays into their calendar boxes and close up the ends!

🎀 TIME FOR THE FINISHING TOUCHES!

Remember all those extra details we prepped in Tip 7? Now's the time to put them to use!

Add your stretch loops, poem cards, freezing instructions, and any little festive extras like a candy cane, ribbon, or bell. Having everything ready ahead of time makes this part a breeze!

❤️ AND THEN... YOU'RE DONE!

Take a moment to step back and admire all that hard work! 🥹

Just think about how excited your customers (and their little ones!) are going to be opening a new door each day to discover one of YOUR cookies inside!

All those hours of baking, decorating, and packaging have turned into something really special. And I promise, seeing those finished calendars makes it ALL worth it! ❤️💚

Are you filling your calendars assembly-line style, or do you have your own system? I'd love to hear how you do it!

Happy Cookie Advent Calendar Planning!

🎄 Calendar Planning Tip 7: Prep Those Extra Details! 🎁✨

We're getting closer to Advent Calendar pickup time, and today's tip is an EASY one! Let's get all those little finishing touches ready NOW so you're not scrambling to do them at the last minute! ❤️💚

📋 GET THOSE CARDS READY!

If you've purchased our printed Poem or Freezing Instructions cards, go ahead and get them hole punched and ready to go!

Using our digital downloads instead? Now's the perfect time to get those printed, trimmed, and hole punched, too!

For printing at home, I recommend using a nice white cardstock that's at least 65 lb. (just double-check what your printer can handle first!).

✂️ A LITTLE TIME-SAVING TIP!

If you're cutting a bunch of cards, a paper trimmer is going to be your best friend! I personally use the Fiskars SureCut Deluxe 12" Paper Trimmer from Michaels, and it makes trimming SO much easier than using scissors!

🎀 DON'T FORGET THE FINISHING TOUCHES!

Our stretch loops are perfect for securing your cards around your calendars, and you can dress things up even more with festive ribbon, a little bell, or even a candy cane!

Remember, you're not just selling cookies. You're selling an entire Christmas countdown experience! Those extra little details can really make your calendars feel special and gift-ready. 🥰

Once everything is printed, trimmed, and ready to go, tuck it all away somewhere clean and dry until you're ready to package your calendars!

✅ Another task checked off your holiday to-do list!
