Giving Biscuits as a Gift

Options
My boyfriend's Nan is diabetic, so we've bought here a couple of packs of diabetic biscuits as part of her Christmas present. They're from Boots in 'No Added Sugar' packaging that's a bit rubbish.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could present these a little more nicely? I was thinking a tin or something involving cellophane (always) but I'm worried about the biscuits going soft.

Thanks :)

    Festive tin with the biscuits inside wrapped in greaseproof paper?

    I do a hamper for my parents for Christmas, and always include homemade biscuits. I put them in sealable cellophane bags (available for hobbycraft), then tart it up by tieing ribbon round the top. I do it a couple of days before Christmas and the biscuits keep fine and don't go soft.
    Just reccomend leaving it as late as possible to take them out of their packaging and into your own.
    If you put them into a box with tissue paper, and possibly a few other items, then wrap whole lot in cellophane it will make a lovely little hamper

    What about a kilner jar? I think they smarten up just about anything. Biscuits would look quite lovely in there and I would hope with that sealed top they'd keep well too.
