Cookie Exchange
I had a Christmas cookie exchange planned for the week before Christmas, but had to cancel due to a family emergency. A lot of the people I invited have asked me about hosting another one in the up-coming months because they were very excited about it. I'm really not sure when to have it though. Obviously Valentine's Day is out b/c there's not nearly enough time to get it together. I was thinking Easter, but Easter just doesn't say "cookies!" to me the same way that Christmas does. I was thinking about maybe a Cookie/Candy Exchange for Easter. Thoughts??

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
I hosted my first cookie exchange at the beginning of December, and as it was winding down, everybody said they'd love to do it again soon. We thought of Easter, too -- so we're probably going to do ours around Easter. Especially since we're teachers and our spring break is hooked on to Easter weekend, we will have more free time to make cookies!
I made cookie-mix-in-a-jar as a favor for everybody with red and green M&Ms, so for the Easter one, I'll have to think of another favor!
If you called everyone or emailed today to save the date, you could still pull off a Valentine's exchange. All you need to serve is wine and perhaps an appetier or 2 from Costco. Make it a chocolate exchange so people can ring candy, truffles, arownies, cupcakes, cookies, etc.
If you put it together quickly, it could turn out really easy.
I think any time is a good time for cookies
If it feels unnatural to theme it around a holiday, then don't. You could do a "Sweets for Spring" party and hold it any time between March and May. Decor could be lots of flowers and pastels.
I love this idea! Thanks
