The problem with sending someone cookies as a holiday gift is that they most likely already have some cookies. And some cake. And loads of other holiday treats. Consider the gift of cookies that will give back later. Frozen Dough
- or what I like to think of as cookies on demand!


Each three pound tub makes approximately 4 dozen cookies. You can send a gift package of two tubs of dough and a scoop for $42.95. Choose from any of their seven delicious flavors. Chocolate chunk. White chocolate chunk. White chocolate macadamia nut. Oatmeal raisin. Peanut butter. Sugar. M&M. Yum!
And for extra family fun, consider the Cookie Play Dough
.


Just as much fun and when you’re done playing - the cookies are as delicious as they are beautiful. A set of two (6 pounds of dough) sells for $44.95.
See all these tasty gift ideas and more at David’s Cookies
. All their products are certified Kosher OU.
And, as usual, we’ve got the inside scoop on how to get the best possible deal.

A wonderful thank you gift for a client has always been tough to find for under $30. The problem is that these days it’s frequently just not appropriate or possible to spend much more than that. $30 just doesn’t usually buy that much. And a $30 gift basket usually just doesn’t make much of an impression and usually looks kind of junky. We’ve found a GREAT exception to this rule.

Medium Drizzle Strawberries Gift box
From: CCB Radiance LLC
This delectable assortment of 6 hand dipped chocolate covered strawberries and 6 hand dipped freshly baked Madeline cookies is available at CCB Radiance LLC for only $29.99.
A great deal, isn’t it? That’s quite a lot of ‘wow’ and ‘yum’ for only $30. And quite a luxe vibe, too.
You’ll find their gift baskets are just as impressive at higher price points as well, with lots of options for bountiful gift packages of dozen hand dipped treats or more for well under $75.

1 Dz Chocolate Covered Pears - $ 69.99
From: CCB Radiance LLC
CCB Radiance LLC offers the ultimate in hand dipped and customized chocolate covered chocolate. Using only the finest gourmet chocolate and highest quality food colorings to create their custom edible ink messages.

Customized messages and images are readily available. Your strawberries are dipped and decorated to order and shipped fresh and fast nationwide.

Looking for a fun alternative to flowers or a potted plant for someone on your gift list this year? How about a bouquet of fresh blooming…

Great for birthdays and business gifts, too. You can even customize cookies with a personal message, business logo and more.

I’m here in the heart of apple country - Oregon. I attended a harvest market last week and tomorrow I plan on going again. They’re famous for a lot more than the apples here, of course, but it was the apples that really rocked my world.
There must have been at least 30 varieties of local apples from which to choose. Loads of ’boutique’ varieties from local growers. And lots of free samples! The tasting almost made it harder to choose, but since I knew I’d be able to go back again, I felt a little less pressure. My current favorite is the Hidden Rose - a small apple with light green skin, pink fruit and a sweet yet tangy taste. Like a Grannie Smith with honey. YUM! And it didn’t stop at apples. That was just the beginning! There were pears galore. Local wines. Smoked salmon. And lots more.

Hood River’s Choice Deluxe Fruit and Gourmet Gift Box 
And guess who was there - at the local Columbia Gorge / Hood River farmer’s Harvest Market - along with all the local growers? TheFruitCompany.com
- they’re the ones who bring the freshest and best of Oregon to those of us who aren’t lucky enough to live here to taste it all in person!

Thought you’d want to know.

The best treat of the season? No I’m not talking about the mini Snicker’s Bars that we all pretend to buy for the thousands of trick or treaters we’re expecting and then eat all by ourselves.

I’m talking about the ultimate caramel apple.

This is the age of the cupcake! Gourmet cupcakes are everywhere. And for good reason. Nothing’s more satisfying and mood enhancing than that simple little self contained bundle of perfection that is the cupcake. At once retro and modern. These days nothing beats the cupcake when it comes to a festive treat. The only downside: It can be a real pain to provide cupcake bliss for a loved one. There are cupcake bakeries sprouting up all over the place and well established cupcake specialists in big cities like New York and Chicago often have block-long lines. Unless you are planning on buying a huge quantity of cupcakes, most places won’t take a special order - so by the time you get to the head of the line your cupcake of choice might be gone for the day. I hate when that happens! I wanted red velvet with cream cheese frosting for a birthday dinner not too long ago and by the time I stopped at the cupcake shop at only about 2 in the afternoon they were sold out! I hate when that happens. I won’t have to worry about that happening again. Next time I absolutely need cupcakes I’m going to have them brought directly to me with Everything Cupcake
, the newest product line from 1-800-FLOWERS.COM
.


And in honor of their new venture, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM
has come up with a totally fun and lower calorie twist on the traditional cupcake.


How cute is that!
And, of course, not only do we know exactly where to get everything - we’ve always got the inside scoop on how to get it for less!

The perfect summer snack? Popcorn, of course. Delicious and a bit more nutritious than other snacking options. And it’s always good to have something a bit salty when it’s hot outside. Makes those frosty beverages even more appealing!

What would you say if you found out you could eat delicious gourmet meals at home, without the work? Sounds good. What if you could just heat those meals in your microwave and be dining on a delicious dinner in minutes? Sounds good, too. And what if those meals were healthy and nutritious? And what if you could create those meals to your own personal tastes - choosing your entree, vegetables and side dishes and exactly how your food is prepared? Sounds phenomenal, doesn’t it? And we’re not just talking broiled versus roasted, here. We’re talking about gourmet meals to suit just about any dietary restrictions or style preference. Diabetic meals. Meals for kids. Pregnancy meals. Low carb meals. Low sodium meals. Healthy meals. Meals to promote weight loss. And all of them are chef-prepared gourmet meals. Dine wisely with DineWise

It’s all possible - and for far less than you’d think it would cost. Especially when you can get as many as 12 meals for free with your purchase. That’s right - you many never cook again!

The gift of a delicious meal is the perfect thing for anyone who’s in the process of moving, having a new baby or going through another big life cycle event. If you’re too far away to bring over something you’ve cooked yourself, sending a heat and eat gourmet meal is the next best thing.

When it comes to popcorn, no one does it quite like Dale & Thomas Popcorn
. Their unique flavor combinations are absolutely addictive. And with their terrific assortment packages, you won’t have to try just one or two.

All products from Dale & Thomas Popcorn
