Holiday Gift Guide for the Foodie: Hickory Farms Gift Basket (GIVEAWAY)

Posted on06 December 2010.

When I was younger (hey, I’m still young!), I worked part-time over the holiday season at Hickory Farms in our local mall. Over the course of the holiday season I fell in love with a lot of their products like the Sweet Hot Mustard, the Melt Away Mints, and the Summer Sausage. Back then they didn’t have internet and if you didn’t live near a kiosk you could only hope someone would ship you a package. Every year Hickory Farms is a staple in our holiday celebrations. My new favorite is the Italian flavored Summer Sausage.

This year I lucked out with the Home for the Holidays Gift Box which featured signature beef as well as Italian Recipe Summer Sausage. It also had an array of four cheeses, sweet hot, honey pineapple mustards and savory crackers. This is perfect for that special someone in the military, all the gifts found in the “Military Gifts” category of the Hickory Farms website, include free military shipping to military APO/FPO addresses on select products, allowing our troops across the globe to share in holiday traditions.

Not only did I receive that basket, but I also got this awesome Perfect Picnic Gift Basket. This thing was HUGE! It included:
- 10 oz. Beef Summer Sausage
- 7 oz. Turkey Summer Sausage
- 7 oz. Beef & Pork Summer Sausage
- 4 oz. Mission Jack Blend
- 4 oz. Creamy Swiss Blend
- 6 oz. Famously Thin Peanut Brittle
- 12 oz. Mini Melt Away Mints
- 5 oz. Flat Bread Crackers
- 2.25 oz. Sweet Hot Mustard
- 2.5 oz. Honey Pineapple Mustard
and a beautiful Keepsake Peterboro Basket® that I plan on using this summer – a lot.

Isn’t it cute?

If you are looking for the perfect gift for something this holiday season – think Hickory Farms. I promise you will not be disappointed. The company has been the leader in their field since 1951. Any company that has been around that long is doing something right.
