Some people enjoy going all out when it comes to gift giving. While it must be nice to receive the latest 52″ TV or the oh-so-rare purple-croc Hermes handbag, I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to flash the cash to impress. It’s always the thought that counts in the end.

So that’s why I’m excited to bring you the opportunity to save money and to give the gift of savory gourmet cheeses and food gift baskets. Until September 30, use the free Hickory Farms coupons to score 20% off your order!

My mouth is practically watering as I sift through the Hickory Farms site. They have so many items I’d love to blog about, but for the sake of brevity, I’m choosing just a few to highlight that’ll give you the gist of what they have to offer.

Life’s a Peach

The sweetness of peach combined with flaky pastry is a culinary match made in kitchen heaven. Serve the new Flaky Peach Dumplings with warm vanilla sauce, and your guests won’t be able to resist having seconds or even thirds!

You’re the Caramel Apple of My Eye

Believe it or not, Atomica has never sunk her pearly whites into a caramel apple. I definitely have to try it soon, and it may as well be the Gourmet Caramel Apple Quartet that’s perfect for the fall. The Granny Smith apples add slight tartness that I imagine mixes well with the yummy caramel, nuts, chocolate, and toffee.

Satisfy the Munchies

Sometimes you’re not hungry enough to eat a meal, but you want something to tide you over. That’s when you should break out the Organic Muncher’s Delight Gift Box. It comes with apples and pears, plus yogurt-covered pretzels, trail mix, and a variety of nuts.

Whether you want to congratulate an employee on a job well done or you want to tell someone you’re sweet on them, a gift from Hickory Farms is always appropriate and always the best choice!

1990 – Florida Lottery Goes Over $100,000,000 - Oooooooooooooh myyyyyyyyyy goodness! Imagine what you could do with all that dough. I have a bad habit when it comes to playing the lottery – I think about all the cool stuff I’d buy, the places in the world I’d visit, who I’d share the money with and bla bla bla. In other-words, I’ve spent the money before I’ve even paid the clerk for my ticket! Then I’m completely disappointed when, of course, I don’t win.

Make a Hat Day – WOW. Really? How do you go about doing that? OHHHHHH I remember. You probably do too…you just have to think back. Remember yet? Well, I’ll help you out (we have limited time here, folks). You were in grade school, in grade 1 or 2, and you made hats out of tissue paper or construction paper. Then you’d decorate with all sorts of things like feathers, glitter, sparkles, garland and stickers. After it was completed, you’d wear it around and it’d get ruined after 5 minutes since you were a ball of fire back then. Well, that was a lovely trip down memory lane, wasn’t it? Fast forward how many years, and we’re encouraged to make a hat again. Sure why not? Except, since you’re a tad older and more mature and probably run a business, maybe you could try a simpler and less crazy approach. Like…check out VistaPrint. Yes, they make hats, its true! These personalized hats are perfect for families, reunions and corporate purposes. All you have to do is tell them what you want and you can sport your own hat, designed by you…that won’t fall apart in 5 minutes! Apply VistaPrint coupons and save 50% on discount promotional and personalized hats, pens, cards and more.
