{Holiday Gift Guide} Hickory Farms Gift Box Review

ABOUT:

Hickory Farms Christmas Food Gifts have been a holiday tradition for nearly 60 years.  They provide a wide selection of signature sausages and savory cheese in beautifully packaged boxes and baskets.  Hickory Farms believes that traditions matter, making these products a long-standing classic gift, since most people can remember receiving Hickory Farms at some point in their lives.

Hickory Farms makes gift-giving even easier this year, by featuring five signature gift boxes, using eco-conscious packaging, ranging from $16 to $100. Once again this holiday season, Hickory Farms will donate $5 from each Party Planner Gift Box sold* (*Maximum donation $500,000, offer valid thru 1/31/11) to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign, a national nonprofit that is ending childhood hunger in America.

Additionally, Hickory Farms provides free military shipping to military APO/FPO addresses on select products, allowing our troops across the globe to share in holiday traditions.

MY THOUGHTS:

I can still remember hitting up the Hickory Farms store in the mall and my grandma getting me this circle sausage piece on a still with a Sweet ‘n Sour dip on it.  I was a terribly picky eater but I could eat like ten of those sausages on a stick!

Now that I am older somehow I had forgotten about how much I loved Hickory Farms and was so excited when I got the chance to check out one of their Gift Boxes.  I received the Beef Hickory Sampler Gift Box to enjoy and I hate to admit it but my husband and I almost finished it off in one night!  It was so good that I can’t wait to have the chance to head over to the mall and check out the Hickory Farms store there, otherwise I will be buying it online!  The Beef Hickory Sampler Gift Box came in a nice and sturdy cardboard box included Hickory Farms Summer Sausage, mustard, creamy cheese chunk, crackers, and a cheese spread to tie it all together.  After you eat everything, the cardboard box suggests to be re-used such as an ornament box.

For just $16 the Hickory Farms Sampler Gift Box is a steal!  It lets you sample a little of everything and makes a great gift or in my case a treat for yourself!  Upon checking out the Hickory Farms website, I found that it is so easy to shop from and you can search by Category, Price, Favorites, and Specials.  I love that you can search by price and that there is a $25 and under section because that is my budget for a few people this year.  Somehow though I don’t think people will think I paid so little for the nice Gift Boxes I am going to hand out!  I like though that I can usually find a booth or Hickory Farms store at my local mall to quickly shop from but then again I am big on Internet shopping!  Whatever I choose to do, at least one person (not including myself) is getting a Hickory Farms gift this year!

BUY IT: Check out the Hickory Farms website to see what’s available and either shop online or use the Store Locator for a store near you!
