Christmas is just a week away, and I'll bet most of us still have gifts to buy for friends, relatives, neighbors and coworkers. Giving food gifts is a good option - after all, everyone loves to eat. I like to give Utah-made food gifts. It supports Utah's economy, and it shows that you've put some thought into your selection. Most manufacturers of giveable Utah specialty foods have ready-made gift packs, or you could create your own. For example, you could put one of the following combinations in a pretty basket or gift bag:
- Artisan bread from a local bakery like Vosen's Bread Paradise, plus some Miller's honey and a few oranges
- Coffee from Beans & Brews, plus some pecan brittle from Western Nut Company
- Rico Brand chips and salsa, plus a bottle of A & W Root Beer
- Fernwood chocolate mint sandwiches and a Fernwood pecan log
- A wedge of Beehive Cheese Company's SeaHive cheese, plus hearty crackers and some Utah apples
I'm making myself hungry just thinking of the possibilities. What are your favorite Utah-made foods for gift giving? Leave your comment below.
