Today, we have officially arrived 100 Days away from Christmas! (Don’t panic, we haven’t started our shopping yet either!) Since Alabama became the first state in the U.S. to do so in 1836, every December we nationally celebrate Christmas with exciting festivities,

The butterfly effect describes how a small thing like the flap of a butterfly wing can create a tsunami on the other side of the world.  It's a compelling metaphor for how tiny, seemingly unrelated actions can compound over time.  It's our experience that small gestures of caring and appreciation have the same effect.   Holding the door for a stranger.  Smiling at the clerk at the check-out counter. And two simple words – thank you – can change the course of a person's day.  We've built our business to help people show gratitude to the wonderful friends, family, and colleagues in their lives.  On National Thank You Day, consider sending our classy Le Petit Cafe Trois Gift Box or our Le Grand Merci Gift Box to show appreciation to someone special in your life. The impact could be much greater than you imagine.

Honey – an exquisite, naturally sweet, piquant rarity that intoxicates us with its limpid golden beauty and succulence. (So rare we need about 22,700 bees to fill one jar of this sticky treasure! So sweet that we use the name for our sweethearts!) Because beekeepers end their honey collection season in September, in 1989, the pursuits of the

A warm, heavenly scented kitchen surrounded by sinfully delicious goodies that have been baked with the upmost care and affection. Enjoying a family gathering over tidbits of timeless wisdom and laughter. These are a couple of our earliest memories, and in most cases, grandparents were responsible for making them. Mrs. Marian Lucille Herndon McQuade, with 43 grandchildren of her own, saw

Where would we be without the hypnotic, aromatic treasure that is coffee? Many legends surround the origin of this undoubtedly popular and oddly-satisfying beverage- the most common humorously involving Kaldi, an Ethiopian goat herder, who watched his goats go “coo-coo for coffee plants”

Labor Day – a time for embracing the hard work and contributions of the everyday American people. Since 1882, we have paraded our streets proudly every September to celebrate our workers, strengthening the solidarity of the labor movement and improving our morale. (After all, resisting the urge to stay in your warm, comfy bed every morning after hitting that snooze button before work is a mighty feat deserving of a celebration all its own!)

A rich and creamy delicacy once anonymously referred to as the king of desserts, the magnificently satisfying Pots De Crème is hands down one of the greatest creations of the 17 th Century. This incredibly rich, golden goodie is a lightly set, baked custard, served in a small, lidded pot, with a title translating simply to “pot of cream.” Commonly created with a pallidly familiar vanilla flavor, the sinfully delicious Pots De Crème can also be paired with decadent chocolate, coffee, caramel, and pumpkin flavors as well. Fresh fruits are also sometimes meticulously placed on top of this delightfully tempting pudding to further wow our taste buds. Are we even worthy of the greatness that is Pots De Crème!? Celebrate your love for this unique, exquisite, golden-hued dessert by gifting our Three Feet From Gold Gift Box to one of your amazing, deserving clients today.

Since its appearance in the realm of alcoholic beverages around 1862, the deliciously and uniquely crafted whiskey sour has been a part of our summer backyard barbeque routine, as well as our weekend evening escapades. This velvety cocktail, a liquid love-child created by the union of sour and sweet, requires a steady hand to properly find the perfect balance between liquor, sugar and citrus. (Bostonians will attest that an

“Piglet noticed that even though he had a very small heart, it could hold a rather large amount of gratitude.” Winnie the Pooh

The dog days of summer are here. Did you ever wonder why they call them the dog days? The phrase originated with the ancient Romans and their reference to the star Sirius. Sirius was known as the “Dog Star" because it was the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (Large Dog).  

Celebrate this new little tidbit and refresh from the summer heat with our Iced Tea Gift Bundle. Or if you are in need of a little gift for someone before summer ends, consider sending it to them so they can enjoy these thirst quenchers at the beach, in the mountains, or lounging in their hammocks.
