Gourmet Gift of the Day Blog

My dad loves to share treats with his 14 grandchildren!  That’s why this goodie tin is a great choice for him – not only can he enjoy some favorite snacks while we sit around a bonfire, he’ll have plenty to share with everyone.  The large 3 1/2 gallon tin contains 4 popcorn flavors, pretzels and a fiesta party mix.  After the tin is empty it will be a great place to store our campfire necessities – marshmallows, candy bars and graham crackers!  The white tin with a fun Father’s Day logo sells for $50 at Holiday Gifts & Gift Baskets.

My boys really love their daycare lady!  She treats them like they are one of her own and lavishes them with hugs, kisses and special treats.  That’s why we are sending her a number of gifts for her birthday this year.  She loves snacks – and will regularly make a large tub of snack mix that she happily shares with our entire family.  Although it may not taste the same as her homemade mix, we are going to send her this smiley-face tub that is filled with a number of snacks and tell her on the gift card that she doesn’t even have to share!  The 9 1/2″ tub contains 4 gourmet popcorn flavors, pretzels and fiesta snack mix – and when it’s empty it turns into a piggy bank.  The tub is available for $30 plus a very reasonable $8.95 shipping charge.

My special neice Kassidy loves popcorn!  She also has three brothers and a sister, so I always try to find a special gift that the she will enjoy and still be able to share with her family.  This popcorn tin will be a great gift for them this Easter, because one of her favorite books is Peter Cottontail and the bunnies on the outside of the tin reminds me of that story.  I’m sure my sister will also find a good use for the tin after the popcorn is gone, probably for holding some of the hundreds of toys that the kids have!

I’ve already ordered this tin for them, but I chose a delivery date closer to Easter so it will arrive just in time for their celebration!  All About Gifts & Baskets offers this 2 gallon tin filled with three flavors of popcorn – Kettle Corn, Caramel Popcorn and Cheddar Cheese Popcorn – for just $30.

If you are looking for a Valentine snack for an entire family (or perhaps a college dorm resident), this goodie tin is filled with a yummy variety of munchies to satisfy a crowd!  The cute heart patterened tin holds 6 sweet treats to enjoy:

• White Cheddar Popcorn
• Chocolate Drizzle Caramel Popcorn
• Cheddar Cheese Popcorn
• Red Cinnamon Popcorn
• Chocolate Covered Pretzels
• Candy Conversation Hearts

Last year we ordered this tin to share at the office, and the first to go was the Red Cinnamon popcorn – the unique taste was my boss’s favorite!  We all loved the goodies so much that I set myself a reminder to order again this year!  The 3 1/2 gallon tin sells for $50 plus $10.95 shipping.

Popcorn is one of our family’s favorite snacks – even my 2 year old asks for it when we have movie night.  I like to experiment with different flavors but the boys prefer to stick with their favorite – cheese popcorn.

While searching online for unique popcorn flavors, I found this nostalgic Santa tin filled with dark chocolate cherry popcorn and double chocolate popcorn.  The popcorn is made fresh daily, and it is so good that even Al Roker has recommended it on his TV show – Roker on the Road.  The 1 gallon tin retails for $25 and can still arrive in time for Christmas.  You may have to upgrade shipping, but Holiday Gifts & Gift Baskets will give you delivery dates and costs before you get to the checkout page.

My brother-in-law LOVES peanut butter.  Every morning since I’ve known him, he has peanut butter toast for breakfast.  In true Elvis fashion, he also eats peanut butter and banana sandwiches for a snack.  He buys peanut butter by the gallon, and uses it for nearly every meal.  His wife contributes to his addiction by baking peanut butter cookies weekly, blending up peanut butter milkshakes for a late night snack, even incorporating peanut butter into a number of their gourmet dinner parties.

When I found this peanut butter popcorn tin online, I knew it was the perfect gift for my brother-in-law’s 50th birthday last week.  He called us immediately after it arrived, and claimed that he had never tried peanut butter popcorn before (which was surprising to me), but he was going to try to make it himself after the tin was empty.  He also loved the autumn-themed tin, and remarked that it reminded him of a time that he and his buddies skipped school to go canoeing down the river.  I couldn’t have been more pleased with his reaction, and I have bookmarked this item so I can order it again for his birthday next year!  The 3 1/2 gallon decorative tin, filled with peanut butter and white chocolate-covered popcorn, is available from another of my favorite websites – All About Gifts & Baskets – for $50 plus $10.95 shipping.

Filled with four flavors of gourmet popcorn, a bag of trail mix and pretzel twists, this goodie tin is a great choice when you need to say thank you to a summer party host or when you need a Father’s Day gift for the Dad who has everything. The popcorn is hand-made in small batches so each flavor tastes as good as possible. Flavors included are White Cheddar Cheese, Classic Caramel, Cookies & Cream with broken chunks of Oreos mixed in, and chocolate fudge brownie. We shared the popcorn with neighbors and they all said that the caramel and cheese popcorns were the best they’d ever tasted.

You can buy this summer themed goodie tin as well as many other tins of gourmet popcorn on their website. The Summertime Goodie Tin is covered in summer beach scenes, sailboats and ice cream cones. It sells for $34 plus shipping (from Chicago, IL).
