5 Reasons Why Good Food Makes a Great Gift

It's the holidays! Which means strings of colored lights, crinkly wrapping paper, and celebrating the important people in our lives.

If you're like us, you try to gift loved ones in ways you know they will genuinely appreciate and gift in a way that won't make you crazy.

One way we love to do this? Food!

Here are 5 reasons why we love giving food as a gift:

ONE | Food is family, food is community

Michael Pollan said it best—food is more than fuel (though it's surely that as well). Good food links us to the important people in our world. Food keeps us connected. Around the corner or across the country, wholesome, delicious food bonds us together.

TWO | Food is magic

Good food is summer sun, fresh air, and green grass—in December! Food that is deep-frozen and vacuum-sealed locks in nutrients from warmer months. It captures the slow vibe of summertime—loved ones can thaw (and savor!) individual packs at their own pace. They can choose which selection is for now, and which is for later—according to the "food mood" of the moment.

THREE | Food is adventurous

Foodie or not, trying something new and delicious at the recommendation of a friend or loved one...is fun! Sharing food that you love gives a glimpse into your world, and brings something new to someone else's kitchen.

FOUR | Food is easy, and food...gets eaten!

Food is a fantastic gift because while you've personally made the selection and included a personal note, someone else packs and delivers it...and it arrives, delights, and disappears (in the best possible way)! Easy for you, deliciousness (instead of more "stuff") for them.

FIVE | Food is health

If we didn't know it before the pandemic, we sure know it now: being healthy is everything. Nourishing the people who matter most to you with the best food on earth? We think that's the best gift on earth.
