Create your own gift basket

The holiday season often involves many family dinners and parties with friends. Are you running out of gift ideas to offer to the host? Here are some suggestions to add to your gift basket that will please both the host and the guests.

 

Chocolates

Delight the children or grandparents in your life by bringing chocolates or other sweets to family gatherings. Vanden Eynden’s Belgian chocolates, the Musée du Chocolat’s chocolates with almonds, or the Pâtisserie aux Avelines’ milk chocolates in this gift basket will be viewed as a real treat! Discover the chocolates and other regional gourmet products at the Auberge la Chocolatière!

 

Cheeses
For a rustic meal or to add to a feast in good company, give an Eastern Townships cheese basket at a get-together with friends. Cheeses can easily be incorporated into different courses: a little blue cheese from the Abbaye Saint-Benoit du Lac as a starter, or a small slice of Alfred Le Fermier cheese from the La Station Fine Cheese Makers before dessert or the Zacharie Cloutier from the Fromagerie Nouvelle France (Racine). Local cheese makers offer the option of preparing platters with a variety of cheeses for you to enjoy when you have guests. Consult the complete list of cheese makers in the Eastern Townships.

 

Soaps
Here’s a hostess gift that is sure to be a hit: a gift basket of soaps from the Eastern Townships. Choose from the new olive oil or sunflower oil soaps from the Savonnerie des diligences’ “legends” collection or the wide range of Phytopur face and body products at Savon des Cantons. A gift basket that will delight those of all ages!

 

Ciders

The apple is often featured in all its forms during this time of the year when we socialize more. In pies, jelly, compote, or cider, this delicious fruit is always a pleasure to taste. The Verger Champêtre makes the perfect gift baskets for your host or hostess, or that someone on your list for whom you may have forgotten to buy a gift. Introduce your family and friends to the UNION LIBRE cidre & vin’s Fire Cider. They’ll be struck by the hint of spice and acidity of this cider. The Verger de la Colline’s Cid Original, Le Cuivré Festive, and Le Glacé Northern Star will delight your taste buds. Fantastic discoveries to include in your gift basket! Consult the complete list of cideries in the Eastern Townships.
