When someone opens their home to you and plans and prepares a Thanksgiving Day feast, it’s always appropriate to show your gratitude by bringing something your host or hostess will appreciate. The time of year lends itself to celebration through giving.
To help with any gift-giving anxiety you may be experiencing, we’ve put together a handful of gift items that are perfect for a host who loves to plan dinner parties.
SPEC’S HOMEMADE CROWN ROYAL MAPLE BOURBON PECAN PIE
After spending an hour or so devouring plate after plate of Thanksgiving dinner, there’s no physiological reason you should have room for dessert, but let’s be real – most of our stomachs contain a magical wormhole that leads to another dimension where we apparently have plenty of room for dessert.
TX TREATS GIFT BASKET
Nothing says howdy like showing up with a big ole’ taste of Texas for the host! Deep in the heart of this basket are tasty Texas treasures like a bottle of red from Becker Vineyards, Texas Chili mix, guacamole salsa dip mix, chipotle cheddar cheese straws, Kountry Boys Texas-made sausage, delicious dark chocolate, wine charms, and after all that, some much needed Texas blend coffee.
SEASON’S GREETINGS GIFT BASKET
Be the guest with the best with our Season’s Greetings basket. Featuring a Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and a celebratory bottle of Champagne with a wine stopper. You’ll also find water crackers that pair wonderfully with the Cranberry Bourbon Jalapeno Jam or even the Dilly-Cucumber dip mix. And to top it all off, there’s pecan cookies and Texas blend coffee.
SPEC’S TERVIS CUPS
Let them know you’re thinking about them with the original double-walled insulated Spec’s Tervis tumbler, perfect for keeping their cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot.
MENU WINEBREATHER CARAFE
This elegantly designed carafe aerates your wine in one easy step. Simply press the decanter onto the top of an opened bottle of wine and flip it over so that the wine pours into the decanter. You can serve the wine from the decanter or flip it back over once it’s done and pour the aerated wine back into the bottle and serve from the original bottle.
ASBACH BRANDY CHOCOLATE CHERRIES
Ripe and full-bodied cherries marinated in Asbach Uralt brandy and then enveloped in 60% dark chocolate, perfect for before, during, and after dinner.
HUNTER CHAPS PINOT NOIR
Pinot Noir is a Thanksgiving favorite for its sharp acidity, mild tannins, and fruit flavors balanced with earthy notes.
PERIMETER RIESLING
Riesling’s delicately light sweetness, versatility, and low alcohol content make it the perfect aperitif that can rouse appetites and continue right into the main course.
