The Gift of Cookies on Demand

Deb Savvy — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 02:31:45 +0000

The problem with sending someone cookies as a holiday gift is that they most likely already have some cookies. And some cake. And loads of other holiday treats. Consider the gift of cookies that will give back later. Frozen Dough – or what I like to think of as cookies on demand!

Each three pound tub makes approximately 4 dozen cookies. You can send a gift package of two tubs of dough and a scoop for $42.95. Choose from any of their seven delicious flavors. Chocolate chunk. White chocolate chunk. White chocolate macadamia nut. Oatmeal raisin. Peanut butter. Sugar. M&M. Yum!

And for extra family fun, consider the Cookie Play Dough.

Just as much fun and when you’re done playing – the cookies are as delicious as they are beautiful. A set of two (6 pounds of dough) sells for $44.95.

See all these tasty gift ideas and more at David’s Cookies. All their products are certified Kosher OU.

And, as usual, we’ve got the inside scoop on how to get the best possible deal.

Fresh, Fabulous and under $30!

Deb Savvy — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 19:27:44 +0000

A wonderful thank you gift for a client has always been tough to find for under $30. The problem is that these days it’s frequently just not appropriate or possible to spend much more than that. $30 just doesn’t usually buy that much. And a $30 gift basket usually just doesn’t make much of an impression and usually looks kind of junky. We’ve found a GREAT exception to this rule.

Medium Drizzle Strawberries Gift box
From: CCB Radiance LLC

This delectable assortment of 6 hand dipped chocolate covered strawberries and 6 hand dipped freshly baked Madeline cookies is available at CCB Radiance LLC for only $29.99.

A great deal, isn’t it? That’s quite a lot of ‘wow’ and ‘yum’ for only $30. And quite a luxe vibe, too.

You’ll find their gift baskets are just as impressive at higher price points as well, with lots of options for bountiful gift packages of dozen hand dipped treats or more for well under $75.

1 Dz Chocolate Covered Pears – $ 69.99
From: CCB Radiance LLC

CCB Radiance LLC offers the ultimate in hand dipped and customized chocolate covered chocolate. Using only the finest gourmet chocolate and highest quality food colorings to create their custom edible ink messages.

Customized messages and images are readily available. Your strawberries are dipped and decorated to order and shipped fresh and fast nationwide.

Looking for a fun alternative to flowers or a potted plant for someone on your gift list this year? How about a bouquet of fresh blooming…

Great for birthdays and business gifts, too. You can even customize cookies with a personal message, business logo and more.

And Speaking of Apples

Deb Savvy — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 06:16:05 +0000

I’m here in the heart of apple country – Oregon. I attended a harvest market last week and tomorrow I plan on going again. They’re famous for a lot more than the apples here, of course, but it was the apples that really rocked my world.

There must have been at least 30 varieties of local apples from which to choose. Loads of ’boutique’ varieties from local growers. And lots of free samples! The tasting almost made it harder to choose, but since I knew I’d be able to go back again, I felt a little less pressure. My current favorite is the Hidden Rose – a small apple with light green skin, pink fruit and a sweet yet tangy taste. Like a Grannie Smith with honey. YUM! And it didn’t stop at apples. That was just the beginning! There were pears galore. Local wines. Smoked salmon. And lots more.

Hood River’s Choice Deluxe Fruit and Gourmet Gift Box

And guess who was there – at the local Columbia Gorge / Hood River farmer’s Harvest Market - along with all the local growers? TheFruitCompany.com – they’re the ones who bring the freshest and best of Oregon to those of us who aren’t lucky enough to live here to taste it all in person!

The Cheesiest Gifts

Deb Savvy — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 01:47:57 +0000

The gift of cheese is a great choice at the holidays. Exotic cheeses are fun and luxurious and far more nutricious than most gift basket fare. Cheese will also keep well for quite a long time, taking some of the pressure off the holiday waistline. The best thing about the gift of cheese is its affordability. The cheesiest gifts are pure cheese. No basket. No crackers. No funky mustard. Cheese. Cheese. Cheese. So even if your budget is under $30, you can put together a lovely and impressive assortment of delectible treats. And, of course, from there the sky’s the limit.

In Praise of Fragrance Gift Sets

Deb Savvy — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 09:05:23 +0000

Whether shopping for yourself or for a gift for someone else, fragrance gift sets are an a terrific option, especially when it comes to getting more for less. Even when purchased at full retail price, fragrance gift packages represent an excellent value. A gift set generally includes at least one full sized item (body lotion, soap, bath gel) along with a full sized Cologne or Eau de Parfum – and generally sells for the same price as the fragrance by itself. You’re usually saving about 25% to 40% off the retail value of the products. A really terrific gift set might also include a couple other small items like a purse spray or some travel size bath and body products. In general, you’re getting something for free – even if you’ve paid full retail price.

And, of course, savvy online shoppers can do even better – there are quite a few online fragrance outlets offering 100% authentic designer perfume and cologne and fragrance gift sets at discounts of up to 70% – sometimes even more. Always comparison shop your fragrance of choice at several different places - and always expect to find a wide variation in prices between sites. It’s well worth a few extra clicks - prices can vary by more than $25 for a single, identical item. If you’re shopping for more than one fragrance, don’t be at all surprised if a site that was the most expensive for one product offered the best price by far for the other.

Fragrance gift sets make a great gift for any occasion – holidays, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day. Pick one of her all time favorite fragrances and go to town. And if the pre-packaged gift sets don’t seem quite bountiful enough – add a few more products and create your own gift box.

A do it yourself fragrance gift set is an easy gifting option and an excellent choice for last minute shoppers. Overnight delivery is generally available. A quick trip to your corner Walgreens or CVS for a decorative gift bag, coordinating tissue and the perfect card and you’ve created a thoughtful and luxurious gift with no stress at all.

Tips for Terrific Gift Baskets

Deb Savvy — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 02:39:34 +0000

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. It’s ALL about the food. Yes, a nice container is lovely. Of course it is. But you can’t eat that for a snack. For gift baskets that are sure to thrill – focus on the food. A really terrific assortment of treats is going to be just as exciting even if they’re placed in nothing more than a decorative shopping bag. Trust me on this one. We all have more than enough wicker trays, ice buckets and bread baskets.

A gift basket does not need to be ridiculously huge or expensive to make a great statement. Well selected items of a common theme can pack an impressive gift punch for as little as $30 to $40 and go up from there. Items from a specific country or region work together nicely, as do a set of items intended to go together as a complete meal. A selection of three or four similar items such as cheeses or smoked fish is also very well received. You can’t go wrong with coffee and pastry or chocolates. Champagne and caviar? Ooh la la! Wine, cheese and crackers always works well. Add some olives, dried fruits, nuts or chocolates and you’ve created a complete feast.

See what we mean? It’s ALL about the food.

If you really want to create holiday gift baskets that thrill, add a personal touch. Assemble the packages yourself and include a personalized item or two. Wine, chocolates, coffee and many other terrific gourmet items are available with your own personal logo, photo or message. Pack your items in something attractive but not expensive. If you are delivering your gifts locally, you can certainly opt for a decorative shopping bag and a bit of festive tissue. You might even want to add those same personal labels to the packaging.

Whether you decide to prepare your own or have them packed and sent by the pros, focus on the food and your gourmet gifts will be sure to thrill.

Serious Coffee

Deb Savvy — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 04:42:16 +0000

Foodies Take Note

Deb Savvy — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 20:26:52 +0000

Founded in May 2000, GourmetStation.com was the first merchant to bring gourmet dinner gifts to the web. This innovative company was the first to offer “create a dinner” options much like a white table cloth restaurant menu plus pre-set favorite menus. They’ve got a huge variety of cuisine and menus including Parisian, Tuscan, Cajun, Fusion & Americana. And they’ve got great gift options too – including 3 course and 4 course dinner gifts from $69.99 and occasion dinners gifts (birthday, anniversary, etc.) from $89.99. Gourmet entrees start at $49.99. They also offer soup gifts, gift certificates, and dinner of the month programs.

The gift of a gourmet meal is a wonderful housewarming present. Timed to arrive a day or two after the move, once they’re settled enough to eat at home yet still not quite up to cooking, your gift is sure to thrill. A ready to heat and serve gourmet meal is also well received when times are tough – next time you’re looking for a condolence or sympathy gift, forgo the flowers. Send food. Feed their souls while you feed their bodies.
