    Smart Cookies

    Steam open fortune cookies and add your own clever messages. First, write or type your messages and cut into small strips. Place the cookies in a vegetable steamer over simmering water (don't let water into the steamer basket!) for about 30 to 45 seconds, until they are soft enough to open. Working quickly, replace the fortune with your own, fold the cookie back into the original shape and let reharden.

    Good Morning

    Send everyone away with a wake-up kit: a bag filled with a muffin, fresh fruit and an eye mask or other home-spa goody.
