DIY Gingerbread Kits Help Families in Need

Even though they came from cookie-cutters, these gingerbread men and women are not all the same. This is the seventeenth year that the Ellie’s team has worked with the Miriam Hospital to produce the Warm-A-Heart Gingerbread-decorating kits to benefit families in need. Each $10 kit comes with a gingerbread man or woman baked that same day at Ellie’s, as well as individual packets of gum drops, red and green sprinkles, chocolate chips, mini-M&Ms, a tube of icing and more – all assembled in an adorable gift box with a gingerbread ribbon. They make a great gift that gives back, and it’s a fun activity for kids, friends and families to do together.
