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!

 

Weighted Blanket.

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.

Gift Basket.

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. 

Hot Chocolate Bombs.

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!

 

Personalized Photo Frame.

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 Experience.

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! 

 

Custom Christmas Ornament.

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!

 

Your present isn't the only one they’ll receive this holiday season, so make sure you (and your gift) find a way to stand out this year with a Bread and Butter Gift Basket! Surprise your loved ones with one of our unique gift baskets, and before you know it, you’ll be known as the season's most creative gift giver! Start ordering today!

Finding the best baby gifts can be one of the toughest present-finding missions. Of course, you could go out and buy the world’s cutest onesies, but the very best newborn gift ideas are those that’ll help make the growing family’s life easier.

What do new parents need (other than lots of diapers)? Coffee, sleep, childcare, love, support, and…yep, that’s about it. While you can’t provide all of that in one gift, the right present can let them know you’re there for them.

Whether you’re hunting for a gift for a special occasion or simply want to give something to a new mommy and daddy “just because,” look no further. With Bread and Butter Basket Company’s list of gifts for new parents, you’re sure to find something that will be perfect for the new parent in your life!

👶 Books For Baby

Can a little one ever have too many books? Is it ever too early to begin reading to a baby? We think not. That’s why baby books are an incredible gift for new parents! Over time, they’ll accumulate a little library of books that their newborn will grow to cherish. You’ll be creating amazing memories between parent and child — all from one book!

 

👶 Instant Pot 

 Make food prep easier for tired parents by giving them a convenient multicooker, like the Instant Pot. The Instant Pot boasts a lot of fancy features — it has 14 different settings, and it can even make yogurt! — but its most amazing quality is how fast and easy it makes dinner time for busy new parents. They won’t have to rely on Skip The Dishes, or the neighbours’ lasagna to get through those sleepless days. You’ll be giving them the gift of their favourite home-cooked meals finished in 30 minutes! It’s a present that will last for a long time. Even better, it will save them time through those rambunctious toddler years, too.

👶 Baby Gift Basket

  If you’re gifting something to parents of a newborn, consider a gift specialized for their new baby. With Bread and Butter Basket Company’s Baby Gift Baskets, parents receive anything from onesies, bibs, blankets, stuffies, silicone bowls and more! Each Baby Gift Basket is completely customizable, so you can tailor your extra special gift to fit the needs of the parent and new bundle of joy! 

 

👶 House Cleaning Services 

 There’s nothing quite like a clean house! Take a big load off of new parents by giving them the gift of house cleaning services. All they have to do is call to set up the day then sit back and enjoy a clean house. They can take a little walk in the park with their bundle of joy and come back to a sparkly, fresh-scented home. It’ll feel like a whole new world!

👶 Journal 

Sometimes, the best gifts for new parents don’t have anything to do with the new baby. They may simply communicate that you know and love your friend and are there for them in this new life phase. For a new parent who loves jotting things down or writing, a nice journal makes a good “just for you” gift. Complete the package by including a pen, too.

Oftentimes, what new parents need most are support and love. And you can communicate that by being there for them and giving a thoughtful present! Choosing gifts for new parents doesn’t have to be complicated. Between books, countertop appliances, and all the rest, you’ll find a gift that’s just right for the new parent in your life.

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:

• Supply and demand: 

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.

 

• Brand recognition:

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. 

 

• Production costs:

If it costs more to make or assemble a product, the price sold to you will often be higher so companies are still able to make a profit. This could mean that the materials used are of better quality, but it could also mean that the company is not very efficient with their production. On The other end of things, some companies exploit their staff and still charge a lot. Doing your research into the bigger companies is pivotal. Many times, shopping small and local businesses ensures that you are getting hand crafted, quality items. 

Let us let you in on a secret, we are a locally owned business that has been in the gifting game for years. If you are looking for a unique gift for your family or friends, here are a few of our favourites:

• Christmas Snack Box

This box is full of festive fun and flavors! This is a little treat that will bring some unique tastes to the snack table.

• Special Treats!

This gift packs the punch of great tasting cookies along with some savory salty nuts and favorite snacks. A perfect gift for watching the game, sitting in the backyard, or just relaxing in the big chair!

Small businesses care about the product or services that they are selling… and it shows! 

At Bread and Butter Basket Company, our main goal is for our clients to have the best experience possible. We are proud to be a local business, and encourage you to contact us today if you are interested in creating a customized gift basket fit for the holiday season.

“This made me think of you.” These are words that are so nice to hear from a friend, especially when accompanied by an unexpected gift: whether this be the simple gifting of a new song to listen to, a funny picture that reminded them of you, or even a physical gift that they just couldn’t leave behind, as they knew it should be in your hands. 

We always stress about gift-giving for our friends and relatives around birthdays and holidays; you want to make sure you meet their expectations and give them something they actually want, right?

As it turns out, unexpected gift-giving is a great way to strengthen your friendships! In fact, in a study by Bermster and Loop Commerce, it was found that while most gift-givers will buy gifts that are expected (for example: they know exactly what the person wants, they know when it will be given, it is a traditional gift that has been given before, etc), most recipients actually prefer receiving gifts that are unexpected.

Why is that? Historically, gift-giving was a ritual performed between family and friends as a money transfer system. This eventually evolved into giving as we know it today, but for many there is still a sense of expectation and transaction when giving gifts: whether this be from gift budgets, the equitable give-and-take at holidays, or traditions for special occasions. Keeping all these things in mind can be exhausting, and create what we call a “social contract” in the act of giving gifts between friends. 

While it is nice for things to feel equitable, being rigid in the rules of when and where you can give a gift can make it feel less spontaneous and organic, which in turn can undermine the sense of trust and natural good-intentioned feelings within a friendship. Why can’t you give a gift just because you want to tell the other person how much you cherish them?

In contrast, giving gifts at unexpected times or when not dictated by social rituals, it can show thoughtfulness towards the other person. This also demonstrates an effort towards the relationship beyond what is simply expected by regular social assumptions of what you are “supposed” to do or give. 

It all comes out in the wash, at the end of the day! You should be giving gifts because it feels good and to make someone feel special and appreciated, not because you feel like you have to. That’s how the act starts to feel hollow after a while, if too many rigid rules are being followed.

When giving a gift to a friend, it makes sense to try and give something that you know the other person likes; this shows that you are listening to them, care about them and their interests, and know who they are as a person. What an easy way to let people know that you care and pay attention! This is certainly a way in which gift-giving can help in strengthening your bond with your friends.

But have you also considered showing a piece of yourself in your gift-giving? According to Psychology Today, surveyed individuals reported appreciating gifts that reflected the giver’s true self, as this made the givers and receivers feel closer to one another. Sharing a piece of yourself in your gift-giving can strengthen your friendships by letting the other person learn about you. This can make you feel vulnerable, but also shows the other people the trust you put into the relationship in showing this true part of yourself. Share who you truly are, and the other person will share back. 

No matter what message you want to send, gift-giving is a great way to let your friends know you are thinking about them and strengthen your bond.

Why not surprise one of your friends with a special delivery today, just because? We can all use an unexpected boost from time to time. 

Contact us today and we will help you create a perfect, customized gift to surprise your friends! We can create the perfect custom gift box for them, with all the things they love, or things that remind them of the fun times you two have together.

With hearty, wholesome choices, this place is a great choice for the best gift baskets in Edmonton.”

Gift Boxes Can Help You Social Distance and Still Celebrate!

Just like with any business, the gifting industry sees highs and lows from time to time. 
After years of remaining static, however, the Gifting Business is once again seeing a boom! 
This has come about during the COVID-19 pandemic as an unexpected outcome.
We understand why! 
People are avoiding personal contact, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to stay connected or give thanks to others.
This is why gift baskets have become a favourite way to show appreciation.

 

How To Keep Your Distance But Show That Love is Near

For celebratory events in particular, sending gourmet gift boxes has become a new way of entertaining and giving a surprise whether at home or online. 
For example, babies are still being born but they may not be allowed to have many visitors; sending a baby gift basket along with eatables and spa items for parents, or maybe a toy for a sibling is a great way to reach out and congratulate new parents. 
Weddings are still happening but may not be able to have the same sort of celebration with all the guests the new couple wants; sending a personal Congratulations gift to the newlyweds will let them know just how much you wish you could have been there to celebrate with them, and to keep the celebration going in a small and intimate way. 
Sending care packages to loved ones who may have trouble accessing them themselves has also become more frequent during months of quarantine. 

 

How Social Distanced Corporate Thank You Gifts Go A Long Way

It’s not just gifts for personal relationships and loved ones, either. 
Many have chosen to send appreciation packages to those working the front lines in their communities. Additionally, companies and employers are sending concern and care packages to their employees across Canada who have been forced to stay home, as a way to keep the team spirit alive. 
Now might be a great time to go through your contacts and customer list to approach people and see if you can be of service to them, or if you can reach out with a show of appreciation and gratitude. You don’t have to wait until major holidays like Christmas, but can do it at any time!

We send you good wishes and hope you are staying safe and keeping well out there.
