Holiday Host Gifts for The Coffee Connoisseur
Who doesn’t need a little pep in their step during the whirlwind that is the holiday season? Create an easy DIY holiday gift basket that features edible favourites with pick-me-ups like chocolate and coffee.
Items Included:
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.
Holiday Host Gifts for The Charcuterie Enthusiast
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.

Our Pepperoni Sticks are handcrafted using traditional methods. Locally made on a family farm using Ontario pork, pick up a few packs to sample in flavours like Fennel, Hot, Mild, Olive, and Truffle!
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.
Our jarred pesto is made with simple, classic ingredients. Imported from Italy, we’ve got classic Basil as well as Artichoke & Walnut or Sundried Tomato.
Spicy, salty, sour, and crunchy, these pickled veggies have your tastebuds covered!
Spread that holiday cheer with this festive compote! Perfect for seasonal cheeseboards and charcuterie.
Another item that adds international flair to your holiday host gift is our grade-A olives! Grown on a family farm in the Macedonian region of Greece, they’re delicious on their own (or perhaps in a holiday cocktail!).
Serve up all the deliciousness in your basket with these baguette crisps! Extra-crispy and double-baked for major crunch.
