Send a food gift!

If you can't be with your family, send them a food gift!Nowadays, life is busier than ever. We don’t frequently have time to pack up and travel home for the holidays. With our families spread out across the nation, it’s just not possible to be with your entire family for every holiday every year. If you are one of those being forced to miss Thanksgiving dinner this year, send your family the gift of food. Here are a couple of my favorite ideas:

 Figi’s Fall Breakfast Gift Box

After a full day of cooking and baking, no one wants to wake up bright and early and start it all over again. That is when this food box makes the perfect gift. Pumpkin Spice Pancake mix, Smoked Sausage, and Cinnamon Raisin Bread sound much more appetizing than leftover turkey with stuffing.

Tootie Pie Co. Pie Delivery

You may not be there for the meal, but you can always send the dessert. Afterall, what is Thanksgiving without the pie? Tootie Pie Co. delivers all the great flavors: pumpkin, cherry, apple, and pecan. This delivery not only makes it easier on the cook, but also supplies your family with the greatest part of the meal.

 Adopt a Family Thanksgiving Meal Donation

Giving back is an extremely generous way to celebrate Thanksgiving. Donating a meal to a family in need is a great way to make your family feel grateful while helping someone else. Through Families First, you can donate the actual meal or buy a grocery gift card for a family in your area.

 Athens Food Tours Gift Certificate

Last, but certainly not least, is an Athens Food Tours gift certificate. Let the many creative Athens chefs cook for you! No mess to clean up, and you get a variety of different foods. This would be the perfect gift for those who appreciate fine dining and exploring the beautiful city of Athens.
