Holiday 2010 Giveaway: Ann Clark Ltd. Cookie Cutter Gift Sets [CLOSED]

At Ann Clark Ltd., they specialize in cookie cutters for all occasions. Based in Vermont, Ann Clark, the person, started her company with a small ornament and a dream of success. As is the story with most small businesses, she turned her small hobby into a thriving business. In 1991, she set up a booth at a Philadelphia Gift Show with six designs of cookie cutters and other hand-made crafts and she came home with $3,500 in orders. That was how Ann Clark, the person, became Ann Clark Ltd., the business.

All these years later, Ann’s creativity and love for baking has turned into a beautiful line of handcrafted cookie cutters and associated giftware and has made her company the largest cookie cutter business in the industry. Her small dream has become her big reality.


Ann Clark Ltd. was nice enough to send me the Cookie for Christmas Gift Set to use. This adorable set of six tin cookie cutters comes packaged in a sturdy gift box. Each set comes with the artwork of Ann Clark and recipes for cookies and frosting. This cookie cutter set includes a Christmas tree, holly leaf, candy cane, snowflake, star and bell. I made the project into a group activity and involved not only my own children, but the daycare kids too. We all had a blast making peanut butter cookies and cutting out the shapes. I was impressed with the quality of the cookie cutters; they are very solid and sturdy and will not wear out or break for a long time. The kids loved working on Christmas stuff well before the holiday and loved getting their hands dirty and helping cut out the fun shapes. With 7 kids “helping” me, I did not get any pictures of the making process, but did get some of the final outcome. They are not perfect, but were tasty and the kids were just thrilled with them.


You can see all of the Ann Clark Ltd. products, including more cookie cutter gift sets, on the website AnnClark.com . This particular set retails for $14.99. Through the end of 2010, you can save 10% off your purchase on AnnClark.com when you checkout with Code: BLGA34. You can also find Ann Clark Ltd. products in specialty stores, such as Bed Bath & Beyond.


Thank you to Ann Clark Ltd. for sending us a complimentary sample product to base this review upon and for providing a second product for our contest prize.
