  A fortune cookie on its own doesn't make much of an impression, but a giant fortune cookie is something completely different. These cookies are as large as your head, but still retain the shape of the traditional fortune cookie and have a note or message tucked inside. Big fortune cookie gift ideas are suitable for birthday gifts, wedding gifts, anniversary gifts and even make a unique proposal gift, in which you tuck the question inside.
  
  

Fortune Cookie Box

• A fortune cookie box is a twist on the traditional fortune cookie. This keepsake box is made of metal and then coated in gold or silver. A special note, message or fortune is engraved on the top, and the inside is lined in a soft velvet that protects valuables from getting scratched or damaged. You're only allowed a certain number of letters or characters on the outside of the box, but you can make your own message for the inside. Print out a special message on a sheet of paper, fold it in half lengthwise, and then slip the paper into the box, with the edge sticking out, just like a real fortune cookie.
  
  

Fortune Cookie Gift Basket

• A fortune cookie gift basket gives the recipient a special treat because it allows her to make their own big fortune cookies later. Fill a large basket with a fortune cookie mix and a recipe for making a giant fortune cookie. Add sheets of colored paper, with instructions on writing out a fortune or special message and slipping it inside the cookie. You can also include decorations for the outside of the cookie, such as candy melts or chocolate, sprinkles and other edible decorations.
  
  

Decorated Fortune Cookies

• Giant fortune cookie ideas also include decorated cookies that you purchase from bakers and other manufacturers. These cookies are personalized, with the specific toppings you pick. You also write out the message or fortune for the inside of the cookie. The giant cookie is decorated at the shop and the fortune is placed inside. The cookie is then wrapped in plastic and tied with a colored ribbon. The cookies are dipped in either white chocolate, milk chocolate or dark chocolate and then decorated with cookie crumbs, sprinkles, nuts or candy pieces. Many companies allow you to pick multiple candies for the outside of the cookie. Some are even drizzled in more melted chocolate and cooled before the cookie is wrapped and shipped.
