The Holiday season is upon us and this year gifts are going to be filled with natural and organic foods including products and packaging. I was raised on natural and organic foods so obviously I am a big fan of whole food gifts. Natural and raw foods are a perfect way to stay healthy and fit this winter and also fight of depression, and unnecessary weight gains.
Depending on who you are preparing a gift basket for, you should consider how hardcore of a naturalist the person really is. It helps to know the person or someone close to them so you do not offend their lifestyle. Otherwise your gift probably will be re-gifted to somebody else.
Here’s how I put together my organic food gift baskets. First I shop for an eco-friendly gift box or canvas bag. This is sure to please your recipient and shows appreciation towards the environment. Natural canvas bags and boxes are available at most natural and organic food stores. They come in a variety of decorative colors and styles that are printed with eco-friendly inks. This is a wonderful choice because the gift bag can be reused many times over and the box is biodegradable.
It’s time to fill up your baskets with organic food gifts. I usually like to add a little bit of everything, it’s ok if you are on a tight budget since it’s easy to keep your natural food items simple.
Green and Blacks hot coco is one of the best organic hot chocolates around. Filled with robust dark coca beans ground down to a super fine chocolate powder that is so rich and creamy it will have your tastes buds singing all winter long. Green and Blacks is made only from the finest organic cocoa beans.
A garden in a bag is a fun and creative addition to our natural gift basket. Choose a bag of filled with Basil, Parsley, Oregano, Mint, Lavender, Violas, and Snapdragons. The creative packaging lets you tear open the top of the bag to add a little water while your organic herbs begin to grow.
Six Bean Organic Soup and Cornbread Mix; this convenient bean soup kit is an easy fun organic meal to make that includes all natural ingredients and cornbread.
A bottle of the finest organic olive oil is always a pleasure to get as a gift. Find a brand with a unique bottle and try infusing it with some fresh rosemary or whole chili peppers. This gift looks great on the kitchen counter top and it last a long to come.
I like adding a natural bar of soap from the Napa Soap Company. All soap’s are made from organic herbs and spices. These soaps are nice and large and last a very long time. You can see the quality of each bar which is filled with fantastic ingredients. You can shop online for a natural bar of soap, I think it adds a very nice personal touch with its wonderful aroma’s.
