Write, fold, share. First you note your fortune on a strip. Then you place it inside the paper sheet and shape the cookie around it. Finally the folded cookies go into the mini boxes and get passed round.

Because neither scissors nor glue are involved, you can fold a few cookies while the coffee brews. And because you write the messages yourself, every cookie suits the person who opens it.

The set is made for hosts, for families and for groups of friends who enjoy giving small messages. At a dinner party the paper fortune cookies break the ice, at a birthday or on New Year's Eve they add a surprise between courses, and at a wedding they become a personal touch at each place setting.

It works just as well as a small gift to bring along or as a quiet gesture: one folded cookie in a lunch box often says more than a text message.

Fill in the strips calmly before the party and fold the cookies in advance, so the filled mini boxes are ready when your guests arrive. If you like, write the messages together with someone else, since two people come up with more ideas than one.

Instead of fortunes you can write questions to be answered at the table, which gets a conversation going faster than a compliment does. Split the cookies across the five boxes and place them at different ends of the table so everyone can help themselves. The 50 sheets cover several rounds, so there is no need to use them all in one evening.

What is included in the pack? 50 fortune cookie sheets, 50 message strips, 5 mini takeaway-style boxes and simple instructions.

Are the fortunes already printed? No. You write the messages yourself on the 50 strips included.

Can you eat these fortune cookies? No, they are made of paper and are not edible. What is inside is the message you wrote.

Do I need scissors, glue or origami experience? No. According to the manufacturer each cookie folds in seconds, without scissors, glue or any previous practice.

How big is the pack? It measures 21 x 14 x 0.3 cm and weighs 81 g, so it is flat enough to carry along easily.
