Homemade Jam Baskets
A universal favorite, filling decorated jam baskets with homemade or locally sourced jams, jellies and preserves allows loved ones to top fluffy biscuits, toast or scones into the new year.

Cookie Tins
From gingerbread and peppermint to good, old-fashioned chocolate chip, holiday-themed cookie tins loaded with seasonal favorites can make the holiday special. Don’t forget a handwritten note for an extra cozy touch.

Cheese Boards
Put a savory twist on a usually sweet season with festive cheese boards that highlight local selections, dried fruits, specialty crackers and a small jar of honey, perfect for sharing with guests or enjoying after the festivities wind to a close.

Coffee Kits
Warm recipients up from the inside out with local blends nestled in a reusable mug or tumbler. For the non-caffeinated in your life, consider a cocoa kit instead with gourmet mixes, marshmallows and cinnamon sticks.
