How to Build a Milk Bar Gift Basket with a Cookie Tin

Assemble a thoughtful gift basket around Milk Bar's 6-count cookie tin. This guide covers what's inside, how to pair it with extras, and shipping tips.

Start with a Cookie Tin That Covers Every Craving

A Milk Bar gift basket starts with a solid centerpiece, and the Tin - 6 Count fits that role well. It holds one of each core flavor: Compost, Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow, Confetti, Triple PB Cookie, Chocolate Chip N' Chunk, and Oatmeal Cream. That mix covers chewy, crispy, fudgy, and salty-sweet textures, so the basket already offers variety without you having to pick individual cookies.

What's in the Tin - 6 Count

  • Tin - 6 Count: This 6-count tin includes one of each flavor: Compost, Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow, Confetti, Triple PB Cookie, Chocolate Chip N' Chunk, and Oatmeal Cream. Knowing the exact lineup helps you decide if the tin alone satisfies the recipient or if you need to add complementary treats.

  • Tin - 6 Count: The Triple PB Cookie contains peanuts. Each cookie is individually wrapped for freshness and safety. If the gift is for someone with peanut allergies, you can either remove that cookie before assembling the basket or choose a different tin variant.

Pair the Tin with Complementary Add-Ons

Because the 6-count tin already offers a range of textures, you can round out the basket with items that add contrast. Think about including a jar of Milk Bar's cereal milk mix for a drinkable treat, or a few cake truffles for a fudgy, bite-sized option. If the recipient enjoys baking, one of Milk Bar's cookbooks can turn the basket into a full experience. The key is to add items that the tin doesn't already cover, so the basket feels curated rather than repetitive.

Assembly Tips for a Cohesive Basket

  • Choose a basket or box that fits the tin snugly: The tin is sturdy enough to sit at the bottom. Place it flat, then arrange smaller items around it so nothing shifts during transit.
  • Keep individually wrapped cookies intact: Each cookie in the 6-count tin is individually wrapped. Leave them sealed until the recipient opens the basket so they stay fresh.
  • Include a note about the peanut-containing cookie: Since the Triple PB Cookie is part of the assortment, a small card can help the recipient identify which cookie to avoid if needed.

Shipping Considerations for Nationwide Delivery

Milk Bar ships desserts nationwide, so you can send the basket directly or assemble it locally. If you build the basket yourself, use a sturdy outer box and cushion the tin with packing material. The individually wrapped cookies hold up well, but avoid placing heavy items on top of the tin. For a ready-made option, you can order the tin and add-ons in one checkout to arrive together.
