If you’re in the middle of planning out your holiday shopping, you’ve come to the right place! Christmas is supposed to be the season when everything is merry and bright, but let's face it… Sometimes, it can be one of the most stressful times of the year.
Between shopping for holiday gifts, cooking family potluck dinners and planning cocktail events in between, there always seems to be so much to do in so little time, especially when it comes to shopping for gifts that are unique and thoughtful.
That’s why Bread and Butter Basket Company is here to help you out with a few popular gift ideas that are perfect for the holiday season! So without further adieu, let’s get into it!
Give them the gift of comfort! Weighted blankets are all the rage right now, and for good reason! Not only are they comfortable, but the pressure of weighted blankets also puts your autonomic nervous system into “rest” mode, reducing some of the symptoms of anxiety, such as a quickened heart rate or breathing. This can provide an overall sense of calm, and ultimate relaxation to your gift recipient.
This one might be the perfect suggestion on the list, and we’re not biased when we say that! Gift baskets are full of surprises that just one or many can enjoy! They’re versatile, customizable, affordable and thoughtful, and can contain whatever you want! Suitable for those who love sweet treats that are Baked With Love or savoury eats like a Christmas Charcuterie Board, with Bread and Butter Basket Company, your gift recipient will receive the gift of deliciousness with a personalized unique and beautifully arranged gift basket that they’ll adore.
Who doesn’t love hot chocolate? Perfect for the time of year, hot chocolate bombs are a delicious treat that’s both fun and unique. These tasty gifts are hollow chocolate spheres that are filled with dry hot chocolate mix and marshmallows. Your gift recipient can place their hot chocolate bomb into their favourite mug, pour hot milk over top of it, and watch it “explode” into a delicious cup of hot chocolate! To keep things inexpensive, you can even make this one yourself!
As a timeless, flexible, fully customizable choice, picture frames can be your go-to gift this year. Not only are custom picture frames a simple and stress-free gift option, but you also have the ability to make them as personal as you’d like. Choosing photos of shared experiences and precious moments to frame allows the recipient of your gift to look back on the memories you made together.
Paint night has become super popular in the last couple of years, and rightfully so! It’s a fun and creative way to hang out with your loved ones, and provide a bonding experience through the art of painting. You get to go to a local bar, cafe or to a painting studio, and create a masterpiece with the guidance of an instructor! Paint night events happen frequently in the greater Edmonton area, so with a bit of research, uncovering tickets to this artistic experience might be just the thing to get you on the nice list!
Come on, we’ve all seen those adorable customizable ornament kiosks in the mall! These seasonal trinkets make excellent gifts that lets your gift recipient know that you were thinking of them. If the mall kiosk ornaments aren't on your shopping list, get creative! Take a trip to your local craft store to collect supplies to make a home made ornament is a great idea too! Personalizing an ornament with a name, milestone, message, or year makes it more meaningful because they know it was sentimentally picked out or crafted, especially for them!

It’s the holiday season and many people are searching for gifts to surprise their family and friends. Many times, the price of the item that you are purchasing is almost always the most important consideration when making a purchase. The gifts that you are purchasing may need to fall within a certain budget and sometimes we’d just rather not spend the money if we don’t feel we have to. However, focusing solely on price and choosing the less expensive item can actually come at a cost in the long run. Consistently choosing the cheaper option actually sacrifices the overall quality of a product or service and degrades its value over the upcoming months and years.
Choosing quality over price is almost always going to make your gift the desired sustainable choice because it eliminates waste, improves efficiency, and supports small businesses that prioritizes value and quality, locally sourced goods. Investing in a quality gift ends up saving you money since it will need to be replaced less frequently and focuses on quality. More sustainable gifting also encourages corporate social responsibility practices, which can help the small business economy in your local area. Price and sustainability are inherently connected; as consumers, our decisions in one category will have an influence on the other. Many different factors go into setting the price of an item, and the high costs may be associated with value and the quality of materials:
The simple economic principles come into play here as how much the general public are willing to pay for something that will impact the price. If everyone wants it, the price goes up. If no one does, companies sometimes lower the price. This is regardless of the quality.
Name brand items will often be more expensive than generic. This does not necessarily mean that the name brands are better or are of a higher quality.
