Keep each box’s contents clear
Start by linking a photo of each cookie variety before packing with a photo of the finished gift box. If boxes look alike, label them A and B and note the quantities you actually put in each one.
A planned gift and an actual delivery may happen at different times. If you do not want to share a recipient’s name, use a label such as A or B instead.
Record packing and delivery
Photograph and name each cookie variety.
Count the varieties and quantities actually placed in each box.
Keep the finished box photo with its matching note.
If delivered, note the confirmed date; leave undelivered boxes as such.
A fictional example with two boxes
Here is an editorial example: ‘Box A: three vanilla, two cocoa; packed.’ Keep it with a photo of box A. Box B might read, ‘Two vanilla, three cocoa; not yet delivered.’
If you later hand over B, add the delivery date. If cookies are hidden in the photo, do not guess the count; record only what you counted yourself.
Check ingredients and photo sharing
Ask the recipient directly about relevant ingredient information and allergies ahead of time. Do not assume an unknown ingredient is safe, and share storage or eating guidance only within what you have verified.
Keep your notes in Pogaem
You can keep box photos and your own contents notes by date in Pogaem. Before sharing, check for addresses, contact details or other people’s names. The app does not identify ingredients or determine food safety.
Frequently asked questions
Can I record a box with just one variety?
Yes. Note the variety, the actual count and the packing date.
Can a photo establish whether a gift is safe for an allergy?
No. Check the ingredients and the recipient’s circumstances directly.
What if I pack and deliver on different days?
Record each date separately; if the box is not yet delivered, leave it as a plan.
