Give the Gift of Sugar!
The holidays are here and it’s time to celebrate!
Will you see your friends for a night of Hanukkah? Will your parents come for Christmas? Will your neighbors have their usual New Year’s Eve party? However your holidays turn out this year, just like in 2020, we need celebration, so whatever that means to you, do it up! Maybe you eat all the cookies, pop that bottle of champagne, decorate the heck out of a baby Christmas tree, or go wild for one, five, eight nights of Hanukkah!
In service of doing it up, here are some of our favorite little gifties that can be a part of any celebration, whether as stocking stuffers, or presents for your mailperson, or for giving to yourself because you deserve the good stuff.
Ok let’s start with the little ‘uns first. These are the goodies perfect for stuffing into a stocking or a hiding place for a gift treasure hunt! One of our most popular holiday items are these Brandy-Filled Chocolate Pears. They are so GOOD. The chocolate has a slight snap to it and the pool of brandy in the center makes these treats truly irresistible. Each year, customers buy these by the fistfuls as soon as they hit our shelves!
Another one of our most popular gifts are these large, twelve ounce jars of Rustic Bakery Snowflake or Ginger Cookies. The first time we got these, I wasn’t sure how good the cookies would be, I just thought they looked like a really nice gift. But. These cookies turned out to be VERY tasty. The snowflakes are vanilla dreams, buttery and tender and are perfect with a cup of tea or hot chocolate. The ginger babies have warming spices and pieces of crystalized ginger, and if you pair these with a glass of scotch, you will be, I guarantee, quite pleased.
Another favorite is torrone, the delightfully sweet holiday treat made from sugar, egg whites, and almonds. There are little bars of traditional torrone, but there are also large flavored Torrone Slices that have become real holiday stars around here! The producer adds dark chocolate and pistachios to one (oh yeahhh) and caramel and salted butter to the other (whaaat!). Indulge friends, it’s time.
Oh the holidays! Time for fun, tasty sweets, large and small for your besties, or your aunties, or just your selfies. For more gift ideas, head to our Holiday page and shop our selection of seasonal treats! Happy holidays, y’all!
