As the season of gifting approaches in full force, it can be tough to find the perfect gift for the ones you love. But one thing you can almost always count on as the language of love is, you guessed it, food!
Brookshire Brothers has tons of great gift ideas that fit any budget.
Collin Street DeLuxe Fruit Cake & Franzia Red
Collin Street Bakery has more than 125 years in the fruit cake business, so you know it's good. Pair that with Franzia Chillable Red box wine, and you have a delightful gift for someone who enjoys the rich and savory blends of the holidays.
This is a gift you can wrap or package to send with relative ease. Your friends and relatives will love the blend of crunchy pecans, Costa Rican pineapple, ripe cherries and golden raisins combined in a honey-sweetened batter paired with red, red wine.
Brookshire Brothers Fruit Cake & Fresh Harvest Wine
Our fresh Fruit Cake loaves are a perfect low cost option to purchase and serve fresh on the counter with our Fresh Harvest Red Wine. The flavors will complement each other, and you will have a delightful holiday pairing for your party or as a door gift for your next friendly gathering.
Our Central Bakery makes hundreds of these cakes to satisfy your cravings each holiday season. Our Fresh Harvest Red Wine is elegant and fruit forward with just a touch of spice to complement your favorite fall and holiday dishes with the familiar aromas of dark red cherries, dried figs and berries.
Gourmet Pecan Pie
One special gift for the foodie at heart is one of our Gourmet Pies. Our Gourmet Pecan Pie is the epitome of the holiday season. Take one of these bad boys to our floral department and have them wrap a beautiful red bow on top, and bada-bing, bada-boom, you have a beautiful Christmas gift!
Our pies are made right in our Central Bakery with golden, flaky crust surrounding the best ever pecan filling and covered with Texas Pecan Halves. Each pie is baked in a glass pie plate and coated with an apricot glaze.
Total Cluster Fudge
A huge asset to the holiday season is Total Cluster Fudge. This company produces so many incredible (and incredibly delicious!) products perfect year round, but especially around Christmas. From brownies to brittle, hot cocoa bombs to flavored popcorn, they have it all.
As huge fans ourselves, the Marketing Department knows you can go all out with these products and make a beautiful spread in a charcuterie board for your next party or make a simple yet perfect small gift for someone special. It's great to have options.
Salami & Beer
Nothing says "I love you" better than giving the beer-loving man in your life a platter of sausage and Bud. Pair your person's favorite Domestic Pillsner like Bud, Bud Light, Coors, Coors Light, Miller Light, etc. with a salami like a Dietz & Watson Summer Sausage log to make their stomach say, "I love you" back.
Bring in the laughter with add-ins like these Dietz and Watson "Dietz Nuts" — original smoked sausage meat bites. A gift like this will let you show your creative side while giving them the laugh they need during the hectic holidays.
Create Your Own Charcuterie Board/Gift Basket
Brookshire Brothers has the quality meats, cheeses, wines and baked breads fresh and ready for you to create the perfect gift basket or charcuterie board for your loved ones. You can get as creative or go as simple as you want to.
Try choosing at least one hard cheese – like parmesan, pecorino or gouda – and one soft cheese – like feta, ricotta or brie. Cured, hard sausages like soppressata are a great entry-level choice for building a charcuterie board.
Add a fresh-baked loaf of your favorite bread and choose a wine pairing you think will delight. Our wine department is sprawling, so consider what they like and what you have chosen. Our Fresh Harvest White is a crisp and lively blend with a high intensity aroma of exotic, tropical fruits. It complements the sweet and savory components of a holiday meal.
Brookshire Brothers Gift Card or Gift Certificate
If you're not sure what the perfect gift would be or you would like to leave your gift more open-ended, try opting for our gift card or gift certificate options! Gift cards can be purchased at any Brookshire Brothers location, and gift certificates can be customizable. Businesses or organizations can purchase gift certificates through our corporate office by visiting this website and set up exclusions like alcohol, tobacco or lottery tickets.
Whatever you choose, whatever amount, it's the thought and effort that counts. Keep the recipient in mind and choose the gift that fits them the best! Brookshire Brothers is here to make sure your holiday season is as successful and meaningful as possible for you, your family and friends.
