Gifting Ideas: Food Crowd’s festive box
There was something so simple about reading a paper newspaper from its first page to its last. You’d go to the newsstand, kiosk, the store, pick up your favorite daily, read it before work or school, and close that chapter of your day. You had the day’s news in your hands and in your head. You would now be up to date on the matches of the day before, major movements on the geopolitical chessboard, the weather, what was on TV, if what was showing at theaters was worth going to see, and even get a few opinion pieces from the editorial boards. The finality and completeness of it. The ease, the compactness, the finite nature of information and the joy of getting things done. The gift of having it all picked out for you by your trusted newspaper staff. The good old days of packaged news. [Fade out in sepia-toned classic images.]
Cue the current day, bright lights and clickable links down a never-ending blackhole of information. Click-clicking through the news on a limitless, time unspecific website filled with news that is perhaps not all that new, articles of undefined length and import, touching on this and that, and much and nothing, has ended up being a wonderful way to never really know if you’re done or even if you’ve gained or learned anything worthwhile in the process.
Ah, the nostalgia for the already picked-out and organized. What, you might ask, does this have to do with Food Crowd? Well, a lot actually. Here at Food Crowd we’re in favor of making things as simple and as easy and as wholesome as possible. Of being your trusted local advisor to help you make decisions.
We also want to celebrate this season and give you a little something to make your life gainful, complete, and as easy as we can. Add a dose of that old time elegance and voilà, the perfect gift.
We think that one of the greatest gifts of all is the gift of simplicity. So, we put together a festive box for you with everything you need to celebrate. No need to shop around, no need to go through all our departments, no need to think about how much or what of or if you’re missing something. It’s all here.
We’ve got the protein (turkey), the greens (Brussel sprouts, green peas, green beans, celery), the vegetables that aren’t green but that we really love (potatoes, onions), the vegetables that add color (carrots, cauliflower, butternut squash), some snacks (nuts), the fat (butter), and spices to spice it up (rosemary, cinnamon). Stop thinking about what you need to put into that gift box. Look no further and pick up one of our festive boxes.
