Yes! Gingerbread Factory houses make a fun, unique, and memorable gift for many occasions throughout the year. They’re a great choice for birthdays, thank-you gifts, housewarmings, hostess gifts, client and employee gifts, celebrations, seasonal occasions, and holiday gatherings.

A beautifully made gingerbread house offers something different from a traditional gift basket or box of sweets. It can be enjoyed as both a decorative centerpiece and a delicious treat, making it especially fun to share with families, friends, coworkers, and groups.

Whether you’re sending a thoughtful surprise, celebrating a special occasion, thanking someone, or looking for a distinctive corporate gift, a Gingerbread Factory house is a memorable gift that can be enjoyed and shared.

If you want to preserve your gingerbread house as a decoration rather than eat it, you can seal it with a clear protective coating. Once sealed, the gingerbread house is no longer edible and should be used for display only.

First, allow the gingerbread house and icing to dry completely. Then apply several light coats of a clear acrylic spray or other craft-safe clear sealant, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. Be sure to coat the roof, walls, decorations, and any exposed gingerbread.

For the best results, keep the preserved gingerbread house in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. A covered display case or container can also help protect it from dust, moisture, and pests.

Important: Clearly label the house “For Display Only Do Not Eat” after applying any sealant.
