Avoid Chirstmas Gift Giving Stress [ October 31st, 2009 ] Posted in » Christmas and Hanukkah, Gift Baskets, Gift Giving by James

It may be hard to believe, but Christmas is right around the corner. It feels like only a few weeks ago we were roasting hotdogs and hamburgers, and donning our swimsuits for a weekend at the beach. The crisp chill of autumn flew by and now it is time to celebrate and sing Silent Night. If the busy holidays have you wanting to hide under your down comforter until next July, relax. A few simple tips can ensure you have a happy, stress-free holiday season.

Everyone knows the hustle and bustle of the holiday brings with it the need to shop for gifts. It can be overwhelming finding just the right item for everyone on your list.  The stress and frustration may be enough to make you want to give up. However, if you still want to spread the joy of Christmas through unique, one-of-a-kind items, consider creating a present filled with things the recipient will love.

Exchanging gifts for Christmas is a longheld tradition that helps to spread the joy of the holiday. Presents are appropriate for a variety of situations. During gatherings, you should bring a token of your appreciation to the home of the host. You may also have people in your life like teachers, co-workers, and service providers who would appreciate the thought of a small present. While they may be expecting a run-of-the-mill item, appropriate for just about anyone in your life, you could surprise them with something especially chosen for them. You will need to take time to think of their likes and dislikes, but they will notice your effort.

Doing our Part for the Environment… Part 2

Another high priority for us is to use Canadian suppliers as often as possible. This significantly decreases transportation time, fuel consumption, harmful emissions and other destructive effects to our environment. Not to mention the amount of paperwork that is prevented by not having to deal with Customs!

We try to use suppliers and manufacturing companies that are as local as possible.  Some of our favourite Canadian products/suppliers include the entire range of Gourmet du Village products from Morin Heights, QC; several products from Epicurean Foods line out of Kitchener, ON; anDea Chocolate located in Ancaster, ON; Niagara Presents wine jellies & preserves located in Beamsville, ON; Sable & Rosenfeld condiments from Toronto, ON; Canada True teas from Markham, ON; Cherrington Farms pancake mix, syrups, cookies and crackers from Mississagua, ON; Brockmann’s truffles from Richmond, BC; Uncle George’s pita chips from Weston, ON and many more too numerous to mention!
