Final Thoughts

Regardless of why you need a gift that starts with C, just be thankful that you got the letter C! C is for cookie (!) , but it’s also the beginning of so many ‘typical’ gift items – chocolate, candy and candles, just to name a few! ‘C’ gifts are easy, just be grateful you haven’t been given ‘X’ as your challenge letter!

If you also need gifts starting with A or gifts beginning with B, we’ve got you covered, and the rest of the alphabet will follow soon, so check in again next time you need a gift beginning with a specific letter.

We hope you’ve discovered your perfect ‘C’ present here, if not, here’s a gentle reminder from the Cookie Monster: “Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C”!
