Stories From The Gift Box

Saul Good gifts have always been designed to be thoughtful, enivronmentally friendly, and socially responsible. In order to maintain these standards, we've learned to be innovative and think critically about how our business operates. We're constantly searching for ways we can make Saul Good better. This means meeting local farmers in order to find BC's best organic products and enrolling in programs like Climate Smart to ensure that our business is running as efficiently as possible. Now we're very proud to announce that we've adopted 100% recycled cardboard for our trademark gift boxes and shipping materials.

With the holidays fast approaching we've been busy these last weeks and months working with our clients on their corporate gift holiday programs. One of our new products this year are hand made holiday cookies by One Planet Catering, a fantastic Vancouver based sustainable catering company. Today I went by their kitchen for a tour and checked out their production line for the 12,000 cookies we've ordered for our gift baskets. As you can see each one is hand decorated. The cookies are baked in a European tradition by Michael Kraus, the man with the vision to lead the green catering movement in Vancouver, BC. Cookies are packaged in biodegradable cellulose bags and 100% recycled stylish gift boxes for presentation, and just happen to be environmentally responsible as well. Let's hope some of these tasty treats end up in your office or stocking stuffer.

Besides knowing what tastes good to me, it's always a great sign when I'm at a show sampling my wares that people see the Gone Crackers box in our gift baskets and say how much they LOVE these tasty artisan wheat crisps. Heather Nichol has developed a handful of tasty interesting flavours such as Blue Cheese and Cracked Pepper and Parmesan and Rosemary. Personally I like the plain savoury styles the best, the Undressed and the Olive Oil and Cracked Pepper, as they seem to be best for tasting local wine and cheese and treats like local artisan antipasto in our gourmet gift boxes.
