30 Great Gift Boxes!
I LOVE a thoughtful gift box or basket. Bonnie + Bud is a great speciality gift box company in Charlotte. You can find so many great gift boxes on Etsy that make the perfect gift. I like this Farm Animal Themed Box, Taco Night Theme or Game Night Box that you can fill with fun games and snacks. I think Cozy Gifts or a Tea Box are great as a get well gift. Visiting family for Thanksgiving? Send a box of Seven Sisters Scones or Callie’s Hot Biscuits in advance. The Elf could drop this Santa Belt Kid’s Bucket one night. The movie night box, game box with games or snack box are great tween or teen gifts.

2023 Thanksgiving Food to Gift!
Holiday Gift Guide #8 is here. I interrupt the typical Christmas gift guide with a Thanksgiving Food gift guide. Do not and I repeat do not show up to Thanksgiving empty handed. Here are 16 great food gift ideas that you can bring to the hostess this Thanksgiving. It’s always nice to coordinate with the cook on what you can bring to help. If you never cook and want to really contribute offer to buy this Organic Turkey and ship it directly to the hostess. I have a major sweet tooth and am totally torn between the Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding or the Salted Caramel Caroline Cake. If you are a drinker bring a bottle of Rose with this Brumate Cooler or offer to setup the best Bloody Mary Bar. Traveling to see family this holiday then prepare ahead and ship breakfast with this Kringle or Assorted English Muffins. No excuses people…come baring yummy food gifts this Thanksgiving.
