The harvest season is a busy time, and Christmas can come around quickly. I wouldn't have it any other way, though: as soon as the final trick or treater departs on Halloween, I'm ready to embrace the festive spirit. For me, it all starts with the food – closely followed by Christmas table decor ideas – and this cookie decorating box set from Hearth & Hand with Magnolia, Joanna Gaines' ever-popular Target collection, is exactly the kind of buy that helps me to embrace the festive spirit.
Christmas traditions look different for everyone, but after so many winter afternoons spent baking with my grandmother, cookie decorating is one of my most beloved holiday activities. Even the sight of a cookie box is enough to fill me with nostalgia – especially when it looks as charming as Joanna Gaines' pretty plaid cookie decorating box set from Target.
Containing eight Christmas cookie cutters, four holiday-themed pressing tools, three icing nozzle tips and even an icing syringe, this beautiful set offers everything you need to create bakery-worthy treats. Just dig out your favorite cookie recipe and get ready to channel the yuletide spirit.
Perhaps it's the classic plaid print box, but I'd say there's something particularly nostalgic about this cookie decorating set. And nostalgia is the dominating theme when it comes to Christmas decorating ideas this year – so there's no better time to revive a childhood tradition and make use of some festive baking staples like these.
It's no surprise that such a gorgeous kit is the brainchild of Joanna Gaines: I've spent the past few weeks lusting over all the kitchenware in Joanna Gaines' new cooking show, which led me to try out her coziest recipes. (Take it from me: Joanna Gaines' baked oatmeal is a failsafe fall breakfast, and the famous Joanna Gaines cinnamon rolls will have guests thinking you're a professional baker.)
The cookie decorating box set from Hearth & Hand with Magnolia includes cute cutters, pressers and icing tools, while this Nordic Ware Non-Stick Cookie Sheet is the perfect addition to your cart.
So, as the holiday season approaches, I'm all set to roll out batches of Christmas cookies, and I know that the cookie decorating box set from Hearth & Hand with Magnolia will serve me well. At just $19.99, you won't regret picking up this set – whether you use it to keep kids occupied during the Christmas frenzy, or you spend a cozy winter afternoon living out your own childhood nostalgia. I'm feeling wonderfully festive already. Judging by some of the other statement pieces in her collection that I've had my eye on, I predict it won't be around for long, so don't wait to add to your cart, or you might be disappointed.
