Who doesn’t love food right? in that respect, we are all Foodies on some level and we all deserve a nice treat for the holidays! Recently, President’s Choice released the results of a survey that highlights the latest trends in holiday entertaining. The survey revealed that a majority of Ontarians would rather share a meal than exchange gifts and that 60% of us would love food as a gift, the majority preferring something homemade. I have to agree, when you get a little older (pretend I didn’t say that! gasp!) you realize that gifts are not important, it’s the time spent with loved ones that matter, but pass a nice bottle of wine and something sweet from your oven and we are BFF’s for life!
With the holidays right around the corner I have a little round up of awesome gifts from President’s Choice for just about anyone on your list!
#1 PC Gift Card
You just simply can’t go wrong with the President’s Choice gift card. Every single person you are buying for eats food so you don’t have to worry about whether or not your recipient shops that store or if they will find something they like, of course they will! I received a grocery gift card one year from my employer and it was so fun to go around the store and pick out items that were more of a splurge or something I’ve always wanted to try. Fun ice cream flavours (PC Candy Cane Chocolate Fudge Crackle Ice Cream is to die for!), a nice cut of steak, the list is endless! From college students, to coaches, and teachers, the PC gift card takes the guess work out of gift giving!
#2 Gift Basket
Preparing a little gift basket is so much fun, and it’s so much more personal than buying a ready made one because you can tailor it to your loved one. Start by picking up a really neat basket or bowl like this PC one in a festive green shade and fill it with matching items like the measuring cups and items that you think your recipient would like such as baking supplies, nuts, tea towels, a bottle of something sparkly…..anything! The Presidents Choice cookie cutters shown in the picture above are really cute.
#3 Holiday Prep
If you have someone you gift to before the holidays start like a teacher, coach, bus driver etc a fun gift to give is items that they can use to get ready for the holidays. It’s great for people who are busy during the holidays and a fun way for them to engage in a fun activity to get them into the holiday spirit. The PC Holiday Tree Kit is a personal favourite and I am really looking forward to trying the PC Chocolate Molds, which brings back fond memories of making chocolate lollipops with my mom when I was a kid.
#4 Everything but the Kitchen Sink
Go big or go home right? This is the big daddy of presents! Add in everything I mentioned above and then some with a super sturdy PC collapsible tote to hold it all in! President’s Choice box mixes and treats are perfect for an elderly relative, a busy mom, college student or child who’s moved away from home. It’s a one gift fits all for the holidays, that anyone would love! Surprise someone with the festive Candy Cane “eat the middle first” cookies, PC® Shortbread Cookie Mix , everyone’s holiday favourite – PC® Nanaimo Bar Baking Mix and the amazing PC® The Decadent™ Molten Chocolate Cake Baking Mix! They are sure to make anyone’s holiday a little brighter! Okay, maybe a little heavier too, but also brighter!
