Our organic coffee is roasted right here in Ontario! Available in K-cup or whole bean formats.
Naturally flavoured with real cinnamon and sweetened with cane sugar, this low-maintenance Spiced Chai Tea Latte Mix just needs water.
Handmade with 70% cocoa and just a sprinkle of sea salt, this rich bar is for the grown-up chocolate lover. (We won’t blame you if you grab a couple extra for yourself!)
An easy way to enjoy your caffeine fix on the go sans thermos! Layered with creamy milk and white chocolates and ground coffee, these almonds will perk up any holiday party host!
What’s the holiday season without a warm mug of cocoa? Ours is vegan, lactose-free, and made with rich Dutch cocoa for maximum chocolate flavour.
Munch on that java with these dark chocolate coffee beans! This snack-sized bag is perfect for gifting.
Holiday Host Gifts for The Film Buff
For the host that is up on the latest movie trivia and reigns supreme at every Oscar night shindig, this thoughtful treat basket is the ideal holiday gift. Packed with classic movie-snacking treats, it’s a delicious way to weather those upcoming January evenings.
Items Included:
For kids and kids-at-heart alike! These sweet and juicy bears are a movie-viewing staple and made without high-fructose corn syrup.
You can have your classically sweet jelly beans or you can have this sour variety for something a little different.
Is it even a movie night without a giant bowl of popcorn to snack on? Kettle-popped in coconut oil, choose from Himalayan Pink Salt, Real Butter, White Cheddar, or White Cheddar & Jalapeño.
You don’t need to have a party to enjoy our party mix! Crunchy, salty, and cheesy, there’s something for everyone in this bag.

This thoughtful host gift uses some of our favourite shelf-stable items that offer a deliciously international assortment to please their discerning palate. Think global delights, strong flavours, and unique items that will liven up their next cheeseboard or charcuterie evening.

A classic Italian snack, these twisted oven-baked breadsticks are a impressively delicious must-have for a DIY hostess gift. Try them in Black Olive & Rosemary, Fennel, Hot Chili Pepper, or Original!
We’re nuts for these roasted peanuts! While we opted for a spicy version, you know your friends best. Perhaps they’d prefer any of our other snack-friendly varieties, like Honey Roasted, Sea Salt & Pepper, or Sriracha Honey.
