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 panettone, either imported panettone or locally made panettone. So far this year, I’ve dropped off one Sicilian chocolate and cherry panettone that I found at Eataly.
I think I will include a jar of Zing chili crisp in one package.
What would you send to people out of province? What would you like to receive?
For gifting to people in Toronto, I’ve arranged to have Tourtières and a bottle of egg nog delivered by Sanagan’s a couple times. I have sent another friend local salami and cheese from Sanagan’s as well.
I also sent a bottle of Nanaimo Bar Cream and a bottle of rye made by 40 Creek to a friend a couple years ago.
I was lucky to receive a Monforte cheese gift box in a Secret Santa exchange 2 years ago.
