My stepdaughter is type 1, and instead of cookies we set out nuts, or cubed cheese and fancy meats for our parties. And if I can find it, some nice beef jerkies are a welcome idea too. Things that she can snack on without us worrying about her insulin levels.

I like the idea of sending a care package with tea or nuts or something other than cookies. While cookies are great as a treat, the person would probably appreciate that you tailored the gift to their needs.

I would suggest looking up recipes that use splenda or other alternative sugars, but I've never had much luck making desserts that taste very good with those.

I know EXACTLY what this is. It is a teacup!! My Dad goes to China often and was gifted with a set. The cup he has is exactly the same except with a dragon head. The idea is that, it keeps you from being greedy. The cup is a simple trick, it works like a siphon, if you pour the tea too high, the water drains out of the bottom.

His also has a tea kettle that you pour the water into the bottom so there is no lid on top. I'm not sure how you clean it, but it is a beautiful and interesting set.
