Someone has to say it: You’re allowed to start thinking about the winter holidays.
*Ducks.*
Sorry not sorry; we’ve got an epic preview of our best forthcoming stuff! We know you don’t want the Harry Potter advent calendar to sell out before you get your butterbeer-loving paws on it, right? Without further ado, here are some of the heavy hitters.
1. Bark, Bark, Bark!
OK, so you’re not there yet. You don’t want to hear the jingling bells; you’re not ready for Bing. No problem. We’ve got spiced pumpkin pecan bark for those of you who need to take this a little more slowly. (Also Halloween bark! And Peet’s coffee bark!) If you are ready to look the winter holidays full in the face, consider our luxe peppermint bark. We make it with Guittard chocolate, you can pack it up with our famous cocoa for a knockout gift crate, and there’s a best-selling dark chocolate version for white chocolate haters.
2. Advent Calendars
Boy, howdy, do we have advent calendars. Eight, to be exact! Harry Potter always sells out first, but we’ve also got Star Wars, Fortnum and Mason tea, Dolly Parton and the classic. There’s just something about an advent calendar to light up your inner holiday-loving self.
3. Holiday Cookies
There is a holiday cookie for every type of person, including butterfly cookies and a Dolly apron for Dolly Parton fans! (Last year these sold out WAY before everyone had finished with their shopping!) Not a big fan of Dolly? We’ve got plenty of other options for you, including a truly beautiful, best-selling Scandinavian cookie cutter tree set.
4. Entertaining
Whether you need to entice kids to the table by setting out the Grinch or you prefer a classic winter tabletop look, we’ve got the runners, mugs, plates and platters you’ll love. Remember, the holidays start with the décor, particularly a well-laid dinner table. And of course we have the menus you need, including some pretty stunning make-ahead Christmas brunch ideas.
5. Gifts
Make your list, check it twice, and don’t forget about hostess gifts! Bottles of wine are nice and all, but you could spend the $20 on this beautiful berry-strewn glass charger. If your host is always the one in the room who smells great, perhaps she wants a winter forest essential oils collection, including a dreamy candle. Stanley Tucci aficionados can snap up his new memoir-cookbook; baking lovers will go gaga for Dorie’s newest. We definitely have the cookbook to suit your favorite person.
