I hope it is okay to add this thread. It’s a favorite of mine, but I’m hoping this thread will include food gifts too.

Of course! That is a great thread!

I will also add a thread for DIY gift packs in Toronto, as inspiration

Making your own holiday gift basket in Ontario- what would you include?

Which items would you include? In the past, I’ve sent Soma chocolates, and I’ve sent a gift basket with Indian spices and spice kits. Last year, I sent some people local coffee & chocolate (Fraktail’s or Dufflets, and coffee from Las Chicas). Other years, I’ve sent spice blends from Sanagan’s or The Spice Trader. I also made one big gift box with some local chocolate bars from London, Ontario, some local maple syrup, maple pop corn, local chips and umami salt. Some years, I’ve gifted panett…

I sent a Vergani gluten-free panettone last year, and the recipient said thank you, but I never found out how good the panettone was. LOL

Gluten-free gifts

What shelf-stable gifts would you send to someone with celiac disease? Macaroons, amaretti, nuts, honey, and a few other things were mentioned in this long thread. Has anyone tried gluten-free panettone ?

Favorite Holiday Gift Food Mail Order Companies

Have you used a food gift mail order company to send a gift or buy something special for yourself? Have you received a food gift through a mail order group that you’ve been excited about and wouldn’t mind receiving again? Any duds out there? Looking for advice here. There have been some changes over the last few years and I’m curious what others think.
