Sending someone something delicious for the holidays is easy peasy. Several local businesses are featuring fun boxes focused on locally made goods. We recommend:
Field & Forest Holiday Bundle
The Field & Forest Holiday Bundle comes with an exquisite handcrafted walnut board made by DRVO Handmade; a personal charcuterie box from The Butchery at RGE RD and a bottle of Don’t Call Me Sweet Pea Garden Amaro, the local amaro made from peas, $115. All you need to do is add fire (fireplace, backyard fire pit, image of fire on TV) for a beautiful evening. Order here.
Good Goods Co Naughty and Nice Holiday Boxes
The Good Goods Co folks have curated a fine selection of Alberta-made product in two boxes: The Nice—family friendly with some kid’s items— and the Naughty which has some booze (yaay!). Each box contains a selection of staff picks, seasonal and new small business products. The boxes are packed with amazing goods; unwrap one item a day or everything at once. Find here.
Hungry Holiday Boxes
Hungry Zine, a new publication in Edmonton focusing on radical food stories, art and culture, has created two holiday boxes featuring Edmonton-based BIPOC businesses. (Think Caramunchies luscious snacks, Mojo Pickles Brandied Cherries and other delicious things). The holiday gift boxes are pick-up only, at the Glass Bookshop/Latitude 53, 10242 106 Street, on Sunday, December 12, from noon to 5pm. Each box is $65+, order here.
Biera Holiday Basket
Are you a fan of Biera’s boxes? Don’t miss this holiday one, it’s special: a bottle of Blind Enthusiasm’s One Night in Durham, two lovely Canadian cheeses from Charlevoix, three house-made condiments, crackers, a Meuwly’s garlic ring, some lovely Jacek chocs and there are add ons! (Or wine instead of the beer). They had me at garlic ring, $110. Order here.
