If you are a homemade gift person then you are always looking for new ideas on how to make that next great one. How do you make one that has good quality products that are also healthy? EVERYONE does fruit baskets so what else could you use?

Let me introduce you to my new product friends at Kashi, Bear Naked, FruitaBü and popchips! I will be making gift baskets for 2 of my sons teachers this year using these brands. I got the idea when I over heard a few teachers saying how the loved to received variety gift baskets and keep them in the classroom so they can grab a snack through out the day. These brands are offer a great variety of things you could put in gift baskets! Here are some of the products that I have included in this years baskets!

Since the day I received my first Mabel’s Labels I was in love with them. Any product that can stay on through a season of 7 year old baseball sweat, gets my glowing recommendation! As usual, this is me rambling on because I am still learning this whole Vlogging thing! Thanks for watching and tolerating me while I tell you about this fantastic product.

I have been with Royal almost 9 years now and every year, his grandfather sends us a wonderful delivery from Hickory Farms for Christmas. It is that little treat that we enjoy getting every year. In the past few years I have started to send it back to him as well as to my parents. With my Dad being gone now, it is a little thing my mom now has to look forward to that she doesn’t have to share

Mom Central was kind enough to send me a box of Hickory Farms Summer Sausage and Cheese to review. There are so many different kinds of meats and cheeses that I would love to be able to try them all! The box that we received had (2) 12 oz Beef Summer Sausages, (1) 7oz Pennsylvania Dutch Edam, (1) 6.5 oz Apple Pie Cheddar and (1) 7oz Sharp Wisconsin Cheddar.

I wasn’t sure I would be able to try something called Apple Pie Cheddar. The thought alone made me gag. My immediate reaction was that it would taste like Apple Pie with cheese on top! Not a very good thought. I was pleasantly surprised that it did not taste like Apple Pie at all lol It is a very mild and creamy cheese. Most Cheddar’s that I have had are tough when you cut them. The knife slide right through this one. I would recommend this cheese just as a cheese to try in general. As expected, the sausages and other cheese were just as good!

I have never tried something from Hickory Farms yet that I didn’t like. They have a great selection of things from meat to cheese to fruit! There is also a price range for everyone also from $4.49 to $125! If I could choose anything from their site it would be the Grand Gift Snack Tower!

There is always that person on your list that you have no idea what to buy for them. I do personally recommend something from Hickory. It’s a quality product that has been around for a over 50 years. They know their meat and cheese!

As if that wasn’t enough, need another good reason why you should buy Hickory Farms this season? For a limited time this holiday season, for each Party Planner Gift Box sold, Hickory Farms will donate $5 to Share Our Strength, a leading national non-profit organization working to end childhood hunger in America.  Additionally, for 40 of these gift items, Hickory Farms provides free military shipping, allowing our troops across the globe to share in holiday traditions.
