Say thanks to your church community with gourmet gift baskets

Make this year’s holiday celebration a time that the important people in your life will never forget. You can celebrate the past 12 months and welcome the new year by sending the special people in your life a sincere thank you gift.

Hickory Farms offers helpful advice on how to send a gracious holiday gift to everyone who makes your life easier – including your church leader and staff. Here are some memorable gift ideas that can be presented in beautiful gift baskets:

* Home decor gift baskets – Help your church parishioners add a touch of style to their house when you say thanks by filling a gift basket with home decor. Place picture frames, candles, coasters and a coffee table book in a gift basket to let your church’s staff know how much you appreciate everything they do for you throughout the year.

* Holiday food gift baskets – Send a gift basket filled with everyone’s favorite holiday food items, so they can serve delicious treats with their holiday meals. Pack gift baskets with summer sausage, savory cheese and crunchy crackers that can be served as a classic appetizer or send along a gourmet ham that can be served as the main dish.

* Travel supply gift baskets – For those at your church that enjoy traveling, send them some essential travel supplies they can use on their next adventure. Pack a waterproof disposable camera along with some travel toiletries, including toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner and lotion, so they can record their trip and have everything they need to get through the day.

Show your appreciation this holiday season

After preparing your list of gift recipients this holiday season, think about those special people and decide on personalized gourmet gift baskets that can help you say thank you. Your thoughtful gift giving will surely be appreciated by those who assist you during the year. Whether you are looking to give items that can be used throughout the year or food gifts from Hickory Farms that will be enjoyed for holiday meals, a thoughtful gift basket is always a special touch.
