What do cookies, fashion boutiques and celebrity chefs have in common?
Christmas is undoubtedly the season of gifting. Sure, we’re always on the lookout for gifts for our friends, lovers, pets and more, but how about the often overlooked? Namely, the socially disadvantaged or physically impaired. Since its inception in June 2020 in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Cookie Smiles has set out to empower and support marginalised communities; giving hope and smiles through the power of cookies.
