If you're planning on making up your own Christmas food gifts, it might be best to choose items that don't need refrigeration or preparation.
Leave that to the experts.

Packing it up
To get Christmas food gifts to their destination safely, you may want to inquire at your local post office to see what they recommend. They are the experts.

You can then place the Christmas food gifts tin into more stuffing, like newspaper or Styrofoam nuts to ensure that it won't bounce around too much on the way to its recipient.
