Christmas Gift Suggestions, please

You have been so helpful with your suggestions about my insurance dilemma. I have begun interviewing agents. Now, with Ron's recent suggestion, I will also check out several new companies.

My new problem is that I have a handicapped individual that I take grocery shopping every other week. About this time of year, she asks me to select a Christmas gift for a couple that is near and dear to her. She always wishes to give a food item. Her budget is $5-$10. Last year we chose wild rice; the year, before tea. I have ruled out cheese since she prefers to finish her Christmas shopping before November. Once again, I need your input. Your suggestions would be most welcome

How about some jams/jellies/preserves/condiments from Miss Charlotte's of Louisville?

I can't remember the exact offerings (there's quite a range), but they include some truly delicious fruit-and-herb-combination preserves. About $5 a jar.

I buy them at the Bardstown Road farmers market and have given them as gifts to out-of-state friends - they were very well received.

Here is Miss Charlotte's web site:

Great idea! Thank you Sonja. We'll go check out her store tomorrow.

You might try some of the locally made honeys.
(Well now that didn't sound quite right...)

How about restaurant.com gift certificates? $10 for a $25 certificate or $3 for a $10 certificate.

Gayle,

Some suggestions:

Broadbent Country ham- incredible tasting , Ky Proud, keeps 3- 6 months unrefrigerated

King's Cupboard Sauces- Multiple Fancy Food award winner- really exceptional sauces, including a Spice Walnut Currant Caramel sauce that according to one of my team "tastes like Xmas would if it had a taste"- you can get them at either Wild Oats or Whole Foods- don't remember which

Vosges Chocolate Barcelona Bar- This gourmet chocolate bar has sea salt and dark milk chocolate. Bran & my all-time favorite. They carry Vosges bars at Liquor barn amongst others.
