Give Un-for-gift-able Gifts

Food gifts for everyone

Holidays are all about three things:  friends, family and food.   So why not tap into that during this holiday gift season by giving foolproof gifts that will knock it out of the park.  Whether you are visiting together in person or over digitally over zoom.  We have you covered. 

1. For in person gatherings, you can’t go wrong with cookies, and with our version you an even enjoy them for breakfast! This Three Ingredient Drop Cookie can be jazzed up with chocolate chips or sprinkles for a festive treat anytime.

    

2. Want something a little different? Trade in your cookie tin and add some chocolate dipped pineapple to the baking list. These couldn’t be easier to make and have a significant wow factor. Slice, dehydrate, dip and wrap and you’ll have teacher and office gifts taken care of!

    

3. For another chocolate-covered indulgence, try our Frozen Banana Split Cups. They can be made several weeks in advance and stored in the freezer until you’re ready to package them up for that special someone! Alternatively, another anytime, yet elevated chocolate option is the Waialua Estate Chocolate Gift Set. Milk and dark chocolate options available.

    

4. While most food gifts are perishable, this one is in it for the long haul. This soup mix in a jar can be made far in advance and will be there whenever your gif-tee needs a warm and cozy pick-me-up. These travel well too!

    

5. For the culinary explorer, fruity olive oils, aged vinegars and infused salts are upgraded pantry essentials that can find a place within any meal. Find a regional favorite for a personal touch.

    

6. Another travel friendly item is Banana Bread Granola. It packs all the flavor of everyone’s favorite bread into a crunchy cereal that can be enjoyed plain or with milk of choice.

    

7. Hot sauce is another condiment that has become uber popular. From truffle infused to everyday favorites that test your tastebuds, pair it with a local honey for another gift that’s sure to please.

    

8. Lastly, for the health-conscious person on your list – The “Aloha” gift box from Dole Fruit Hawaii is an antioxidant bomb they’ll be thrilled to receive. It includes three amazing, delicious products, well known for their health benefits including exclusive Waialua Estate™ Hawaiian Dark Roast Coffee, 70% Hawaiian Extra Dark Chocolate, and a bright beautiful one-of-a-kind DOLE® Royal Hawaiian® Tropical Gold Pineapple. With low acid and high sugar content (brix) the fruit is sweeter than typical pineapple. And this typically island-only variety can be shipped anywhere in the U.S..
