Canada Day Gift Baskets

Canada Day is almost here! July 1st marks Canada's national day, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867 -- enactment of the British North America Act (today called the Constitution Act, 1867), which united two British colonies and a province of the British Empire into a single country called Canada.

How about surprising that special someone with a Canada Day gift basket? This gift basket, called Northern Lights, contains all things close and dear to every Canadian's heart: Rogers' Maple Nut Nutcorn, Pure Maple Syrup, Icewine Chocolates, Canadian Flag Shortbread Cookie and a Canadian Flag! It is a true tribute to Canada, our home and native land.

Of course, giving any type of gourmet gift basket would also work as a great Canada Day present as well. Check out our entire selection of gift baskets at Belen Gift and Basket!

White Wine Gift Baskets

Wine gift baskets are becoming increasing popular in today's market, especially in the corporate community. But what goes into creating a fantastic white wine gift basket? Unlike red wine gift baskets, white wine gift baskets should be stocked with lighter, appetizer-type food, such as nuts, crackers, light cheeses and vegetables.

We have several examples of fantastic white wine gift baskets here at Belen Gift and Basket. One of more popular white wine gift baskets is The Buckingham, which is filled with tonnes of goodies, such as Chocolate Toffee Sugar Coated Almonds, Pretzels drenched in thick Milk Chocolate, Jumbo Red Chocolate Cherries, Wildly Delicious Grilled Zucchini Antipasto with Basil, Catherine’s Red Pepper Jelly, Heavenly Sweets Hazelnut Cookies, Blanc & Noir Sesame Flatbread Crisps. All of these foods are the perfect light snack and go really well with any white wine combination. Another popular white wine gift basket that we offer is The New Yorker, a sophisticated basket containing Chardonnay Wine Jelly, Smoked Salmon Pâté and Walkers Shortbread, to name just a few.

The key with white wine gift baskets is elegance. Allow the foods and snacks in the gift basket to compliment the white wine that accompanies it. Keep them light, flavourful and most importantly, thirst-quenching. But most of all, keep it simple -- light, delicious snacks, such as crackers, anti-pestos and cookies go a very long way in a white wine gift basket.
