Hickory Farms Brings Back Memories - #HolidayGiftGuide

Many of the memories from my childhood involve my Nana.

She was more than just my "grandmother," she honestly was my best friend.

One thing that still reminds me of her? To this day... Gift baskets with cheese and sausage around the holidays. My uncle would get one every year with his job. Then, he would bring it and give it to her. It would be full of a wonderful variety of cheeses and sausages and it all just tasted so special.

So, when I saw the chance to possibly host a review of Hickory Farms, I jumped at it!
The nostalgia of it all... Yes, we do eat cheeses and sausage, but it is just different opening a gift basket with it in there... I will tell you, we normally dig in and devour everything when we get treats like this, but truthfully, I have been a bit more reserved on this one... I guess to keep that feeling and those memories around a bit longer.

You know, when I think of sausage and cheese, I always think of Hickory Farms, but until this opportunity, I never really knew much ABOUT the company. For instance, did you know that they have been around since 1951? Tried and true, this is the good stuff... The way companies come and go so fast these days, it seems harder and harder to find one that is constant, such as Hickory Farms! Also, I had no clue that they worked with the No Kid Hungry Campaign. I was lucky (although I feel that the right word might need to be honored) that the gift basket I was sent for review also contributes to that campaign. With each purchase of the Party Planner Gift Basket, a $5 donation is made for the No Kid Hungry Campaign. Finally, (and if you know me, you know how much I love our military...) They send select boxes with FREE shipping to APO and FPO addresses.... There are still so many companies that say they will not ship to an APO/FPO, so this really made me smile!!!!

This holiday season, why not create memories for you and your loved ones...
Whether you send a gift basket to a loved one that can not be "home for the holidays" or you order one to have around your house for guests... Hickory Farms has you covered...

One more thing... Don't go thinking that they only do Sausage and Cheese... They have so much more than that!!!! Just click over to their site and look at the drop down menu on "shop by category" they have "sausage/cheese, fruit, nuts, sweets" and more!!!!

Remember, with Black Friday Savings, you can save more - $3, 3 day shipping!!!
