Professionally-Wrapped Corporate Gifts

The art of gift wrapping

Corporate gifts

When was the last time you opened a meticulously wrapped gift?  That long, huh?  Wrapping gifts seems to be a dying art.  Our harried lives forces us to deliver gifts in a lackluster gift bag lined with tissue paper.  Afterall, it's the thought that counts, right?  I'm on a quest to change that practice.


As a college student, I had the pleasure of completing an internship at the upscale department store, Neiman Marcus.  Initially, I was not thrilled to work in the men's department however I discovered this department to be a goldmine where I mastered the art of customer service.  I found this space to be fascinating with so much opportunity to learn from my experienced colleagues, meet new clients and grow in my profession.


Shortly after orientation, each new employee was required to attend a gift wrapping class for which I anticipated great things.  Every wrapping paper and ribbon imaginable to honor every season and occasion filled the room.  Our instructor demonstrated how to meticulously cover gift boxes, folding the edges neatly and clean.  We disguised raw edges of the gift wrap and used double stick tape to create a professional finish.


These skills serve me well today as a business owner.  Naturally bakers measure ingredients, carefully blending them to create the perfect pastry.  Our gifts are the icing on the cake (pun intended) as we marry these two talents.  Today we gift wrap pastries using the same techniques that I learned during my internship at Neiman Marcus.  Our customer rave and appreciate the boxes as much as the sweet treats inside!


We offer corporate gifts, bereavement gifts and more.  We work within budgets all while presenting the most beautifully packaged desserts.  It truly is the icing on the cake.

Pu mpkin spice season has officially arrived, and at Chic Sweets Bakery in Northwest Houston, we’re celebrating with one of our most beloved treats—Pumpkin Spice Bars. These bars are soft, flavorful, and topped with sweet cream cheese frosting, making them the perfect way to welcome autumn. Whether you’re cozying up at home or sharing with friends, Pumpkin Spice Bars bring comfort and joy with every bite. The popularity of pumpkin spice has grown tremendously over the years, but our recipe holds true to the homemade flavors Houston families love. With just the right balance of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, each bar tastes like a slice of pumpkin pie in handheld form. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the season without waiting for Thanksgiving dinner. At Chic Sweets Bakery, we bake Pumpkin Spice Bars fresh for our 1960/Champions neighbors every fall. They’ve become a tradition for many of our customers, who stop by year after year as soon as they return to the menu. We’re proud to keep that tradition alive, honoring both the flavor of the season and the community that supports us. Pumpkin Spice Bars are also versatile—they make wonderful additions to office gatherings, school events, and weekend brunch tables. If you’re hosting guests, bringing a tray of these bars guarantees you’ll leave with an empty dish and plenty of compliments. They’re easy to serve, easy to share, and impossible to resist. Our bakery loves being part of Houston’s fall celebrations, from football season get-togethers to church functions and neighborhood block parties. Pumpkin Spice Bars are one of those desserts that make everyone smile, no matter the occasion. They capture the warmth of fall in each delicious square. If you’re craving the flavor of autumn, stop by Chic Sweets Bakery in the 1960/Champions area today. Whether you take home a few bars for yourself or a box to share, our Pumpkin Spice Bars are the ultimate fall dessert for Houstonians who love seasonal sweets.
