Get ready for the two sweetest words in the world: Free food.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s the treasure you uncover on your millionth trip to the break room to grab water\/escape your cubicle for three minutes. Other times, it’s delivered straight to your house like a beautiful gift from the gods. Perhaps it’s on that trade-show table you keep creeping by just so you can sample the goods? Doesn’t matter!<\/span><\/p>\n

What we’re saying is this: Give food as a holiday gift, and you’ll win hearts and minds forever. So, check out the great food gifts below—along with a handful of nonfood items, for your uncle with all the weird allergies—to get your holiday promotions started right.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Close Talkers
There’s nothing like the blind panic of knowing you’re having a code-red breath situation and you have a meeting in two minutes. But wait! You have those mints you got at a trade show in your desk! Just like that, the <\/span>Candy Window Tin with Printed Mints<\/span> from <\/span>Admints & Zagabor<\/span> saves the day—and with a four-color graphic logo on each mint, you’ll never forget who your hero was. For more information, visit www.admints.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Extra Life
Are you on the go? Right now? Well first of all, let us commend you for taking the time out of your schedule to read this. But you’re probably starving, and tired besides. You know who else is busy, starving and tired though? Pretty much everyone who has ever been, or ever will be, described as “on the go.” Enter <\/span>A La Carte’s Snacks To Go.<\/span> Its package is resealable and can hold 2.5 to 3.5 oz. of a variety of snacks—just enough to perk upon-the-go-ers to conquer the rest of their day. For more information, visit www.alacarteline.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stack ‘Em High
Sure, end-users could eat candy and snacks from a bag, but that just feels … basic. Eating from a tower? Now that’s snacking like a boss. <\/span>Astor Chocolate’s Terrific Gourmet Food Tower<\/span> is box after box of goodness—we’re talking Belgian truffles and savory gourmet goodies. There’s plenty in each tower to share, But don’t be surprised if clients just hoard its towery goodness all for themselves. For more information, visit www.astorline.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Need a Little Closure?
The best part about the <\/span>Scarlet Magnetic Closure Keepsake Gift Box<\/span> from <\/span>Maple Ridge Farms?<\/span> You can reuse the leather-like box once all the treats are gone. Ha! Just kidding. The best part is that it’s filled with almost 2 lbs. of jumbo cashews, chocolate sea salt caramels, English butter toffee and chocolate covered almonds. The box includes a gold or silver foil-stamped logo on the lid. For more information, visit www.mapleridge.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because I’m Happy<\/span>
Bay State Specialty Co.’s <\/span>Happy Holidays Stock Jar Opener<\/span> is made in the USA, comes in 13 colors and features a 1.75×2.75<\/span>“<\/span> imprint area. You can use it to open Aunt Sally’s homemade cranberry jelly at Christmas dinner, but why would you want to? That stuff is gross. For more information, visit www.baystate.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recharge Your Sales
Power banks are incredible gifts for anyone who travels a lot, especially since tablet computing has become a much more realistic way to do work on the road. Flight delays, layovers, even long cab rides from airport to hotel become a non-issue with chargers like the <\/span>Ultra Power Bank<\/span> from <\/span>Bullet.<\/span> The charger comes with a USB charging cable and features a 3×2<\/span>“<\/span> imprint area that can be decorated via Bullet’s ColorBLAST process. For more information, visit www.bulletline.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing
Mustangs. Coca-Cola. Baseball. Some classics just never go out of style. And right now, there happens to be a little too much flavor fusion and iWhatevers happening. Things are getting too complicated. <\/span>Chocolate Chocolate<\/span> is bringing things back to basics with its <\/span>Deluxe Chocolate Trio:<\/span> three custom milk or dark Belgian chocolate piece with a logo and full-color design on the box. Done and done. For more information, visit www.chocolate2.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimate Snackdown
Time to throw down. Milk or dark? Dark or milk? Dark has antioxidants for the adult heart-healthy side of you, milk is creamy and delightful. Dark is exotic. Milk is nostalgic. Dark is romantic. Milk is all fun. Wait, you want both? Don’t you know that life is about making choices? OK, fine, <\/span>Chocolate Inn\/Taylor & Grant<\/span> will let you have both in its <\/span>Large Custom Chocolate Delights Gift Box<\/span> with a 4 oz. chocolate centerpiece and themed chocolates! But don’t go telling everybody. For more information, visit www.chocolateinn.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy Hour in a Box
Need to punch up your networking events? Grab<\/span> the <\/span>Toast the Traditions<\/span> extra-large gift crate from <\/span>Hickory Farms.<\/span> It’s got everything an event needs: cheese, sausage, nuts, sweets, fruit and <\/span>the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance—your sparkling personality<\/span> and witty banter! (Just kidding: it’s the wine. But you’ll be a close second, we promise.) For more information, visit www.hickoryfarms.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Presenting Greatness
Presentation is a huge part of perceived<\/span> value, and with its gift-box packaging, shiny exterior and laser-engraved personalization options, the <\/span>Stylus Classic Gift Set<\/span> from <\/span>Saratoga Pens<\/span> has perceived value in abundance. The gift set includes a stylus pen and keyring, both of which can be decorated with silver laser engraving. Color options are sapphire blue, garnet red, and graphite gray, all with chrome accents.
