Brunch & Breakfast Gift Ideas

With the pandemic preventing an in-person celebration last Christmas, a member of our staff elected to send her brother and his family our highly rated Christmas Breakfast, containing Buckwheat Pancake Mix, real Northwoods Maple Syrup, tender and flavorful Smoked Canadian Bacon, and a selection of our famous sugar-sweet Ruby Red Grapefruit and seedless Navel Oranges. Early Christmas afternoon, she received a tag notification; when she went to her brother’s social media page, she was delighted to find a video of him and his wife and kids happily enjoying the special breakfast she’d sent them while enthusiastically wishing her a merry Christmas.

“It was the best present I could have gotten,” she says.

It was also the best present she could have sent: special, convenient, beautifully presented, and shared and enjoyed by the whole family.

Gourmet Gift Baskets are the Perfect Gift

Gifts of food are popular for many occasions, and it’s easy to see why…they’re super-convenient to send (no packing and wrapping involved on your part), they’re impressive (particularly when you choose baskets containing unusual or premium foods), and they’re always welcome by the recipients.

Gourmet fruit baskets containing everyone’s favorite fruits (like those found in our Texas Two-Step gift box) are a traditional gift and a great choice when you’re not sure what to send. After all, almost everyone loves fruit! It doesn’t even have to be fresh fruit…dried fruits (like the delectable dates, prunes, apricots, pears pineapples and cherries you’ll find in our Sunshine Fruit Tray) offer the sensation of eating exotic candy while being a whole lot healthier.

But if the idea of sending gourmet fruit gift baskets seems a little too cliché to you, you can shake things up by sending a gift basket or box containing an assortment of items – even including an entire meal!

Here are a variety of gift ideas to fit any budget for letting those you can’t be with this year know you care:

Smoked Meat Gift Baskets

Meat and cheese gift baskets can be tailored to fit a variety of recipients. In addition to Canadian Bacon (a must for brunch boxes and baskets), our succulent Pork Tenderloin is ideal as a main entrée (making it ideal for families) or as a slice-and-serve appetizer for sandwiches (making it a great gift for the entertainer in your life.

Sweet Stuff

A holiday brunch wouldn’t be complete without some sort of cake or pastry to go with their coffee!

Our Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake is one of our top-sellers, and so delicious it can double as dessert. Just as tasty (and twice as colorful) is our Blueberry & Cranberry Coffee Cake, a fabulous teatime treat. Both are quite affordable at just under $30.00.

For a traditional Yuletide treat, send your friends and family our authentic Dresden Stollen, a special cake-like bread made with plump raisins, citron, pineapple, lemon, cherries and oranges in a richly dense buttery pastry dusted with powdered sugar.

Snack Boxes

Who doesn’t love fruit? But if you want to make it even more interesting, get it in an assortment with snacks, meats and other tasty treats!

In addition to juicy navel oranges and sweet and creamy King Comice pears, Uncle Dick’s Sampler includes our tender Canadian Bacon, imported Harvati Cheese, and Sesame Water Crackers – just right for game day.

Along with premium orchard and citrus fruits, our Deluxe Fruit & Snacks Gift Box takes the traditional citrus fruit gift basket to a whole new level with the inclusion of crunchy mixed nuts, Apple Summer Sausage, Butter Braided Pretzels and spicy Jalapeno Beer Cheese.
