Holiday Tips
What could be more predictable than a necktie for dad and an oversized sweater from that distant cousin of yours at the holidays? Avoid the overcrowded return lines and re-gifting that vanilla-scented candle by spicing up this season with unique gift ideas that everyone on your list will be sure to enjoy!
Cheers to the Chef!
Holiday gatherings are always filled with fun, laughter and delicious food. Honor your family’s holiday chef with a basket sure to delight every foodie! Fill a basket with culinary goodies, such as infused olive oils, marinades and spices, along with a new kitchen gadget or utensil. Transcribe his/her favorite recipes in a decorative journal to create a personalized cookbook. Be sure to include a colorful apron embellished with the chef’s name for a festive, personalized touch. Buon appetito!
Unwrap a Gathering!
Give the gift of quality time with loved ones through shared experiences. Coordinate a day of pampering at a local spa for you and your sister, mother, aunt or any of the women in your life. Present them each with a gift card for a special treatment to be used that day. Or choose an activity that appeals to your group’s interests, such as paint-your-own pottery, golf lessons or a trip to a museum. They’ll appreciate the thought and the time together!
A Sweet Sparkle
Give your holiday host a sweet, sparkling reminder of the fun-filled evening. Purchase a special holiday gift box filled with Rocher® chocolates, Rondnoir™ dark chocolates or Ferrero Collection™ confections. The holiday boxes are available in clear bell or tree-shaped packages with sparkling, individually-wrapped chocolates. With the signature gold and brown foil shining through, there’s no need for wrapping paper! Add a special thank you note for the host as an added personal touch.
A Twist on Dinner for Two
Treat your special someone to a twist on a romantic dinner. Attend a wine tasting class at a local wine bar or vineyard together. Order a few cheeses or tapas and a flight of wines to share over candlelight. You’ll learn more about wine and each other during a romantic, engaging evening.
Take it to the Streets
A book of local restaurants, hot spots and attractions makes the perfect gift idea for colleagues, neighbors or friends who are new to the area. Give them the inside scoop by including a list of your favorite, recommended cafés, bookstores, specialty shops, theaters, hair salons and any other personal “must knows.” Schedule an afternoon to be their guide and check them out together.
