Holiday Gift Boxes From Freson Bros!

November 25, 2021 By Kari 19 Comments

These holiday gift boxes from Freson Bros. are perfect for porch drop-offs, corporate clients, or your kids’ teacher! 

Holiday Gift Boxes From Freson Bros.

Maybe you have a long client list you need gifts for, perhaps you’re looking for something special for your kids’ teacher, or maybe you’re needing to send a gift from far away. Freson Bros. Holiday Gift Boxes are a thoughtful way to gift while taking the stress off you!

In addition to being an impressive place to do your grocery shopping, one of the things that initially blew us away about shopping at Freson Bros. was the selection of beautiful gifts. From cocktail supplies and gourmet bakeware, to an extensive selection (an entire aisle!!) of charcuterie supplies and gourmet salts. They have luxury bath items, candles, unique toys for kids, and the list goes on.

Let’s get into how you go about ordering your gift boxes and I want to show you two boxes I personally styled that you can re-create.

How It Works

There are a couple of ways to order your box.

Option #1: Head into your nearest Freson Bros. and select your items. Drop your items at the Gift Station and a Freson Bros. Stylist will arrange everything for you. You can take the box with you or arrange a drop-off.

Option #2: Choose from one of Freson Bros. pre-designed boxes (further down in this post). Order in-store or call in to and arrange delivery.

It’s always fun to come up with your own ideas and tailor your box to the person you’re buying for. Here are two boxes I styled with everything from Freson Bros. Edmonton!

Christmas Baking Box

Everything they’ll need for holiday baking season, including an amazing cookbook by local author and blogger, Karlynn Johnston of The Kitchen Magpie. 

  • Flapper Pie and a Blue Prairie Sky cookbook
  • Gingerbread rolling pin
  • Gingerbread cookie cutter
  • Festive tea towels
  • Holiday apron
  • Mason Cash red mixing bowl
  • Christmas lollipop

Cocktail Lovers Box

Some fun new tools for whipping up the best cocktails this holiday season! Plus, a few gourmet treats to enjoy.

  • Glass ornament shaped drink glasses
  • Batch Cocktails recipe book
  • Candy cane chocolate
  • Spiced Apple Bitters
  • Hot Toddy Kit
  • Cocktail Shaker Set
  • Tin of shortbread

Freson Bros. Styled Gift Boxes

Of course, you can pick a gift box that’s already been arranged for you! Freson Bros. has several pre-designed options.

  • Alberta Favourites: a selection of in-season, Alberta-made products
  • Savoury: Italian favourites
  • Gathering: Charcuterie meats, cheeses, spreads, and supplies
  • Orchard Harvest: A selection of in-season fruits and wrapped candy
  • Sweet: Speciality candy and snacks
  • Breaktime: Coffee, teas, cookies, spreads, and snacks
  • Freson Bros. Favourites: In-Season Freson Bros. faves
  • Orchard Harvest Plus: Seasonal fruit, cheese, sausage, and wrapped candy

Go here to make your selections

*selection may vary due to availability and location.

We'll be showing you what our Elf 
Candi🍭 does each day this year so you can share in the joy of the season! We would love to see what your elf is up to as well so be sure to tag us!❤️ 

We're also wondering if she may bring a new elf friend with her this year. 🤔 How cool would that be?! 

🍭Last year she decorated Wyatt's bedroom door with a whole bunch of cool stuff she brought from the North Pole including blown up candy canes, swirly mints, twinkle lights, and a few fun Christmas garland. What do you think?

This trend had me deep in the files for hours last This trend had me deep in the files for hours last night 😭😭 

Ask any questions in the comments ⤵️ I'm an open book on this one. Feel free to share with someone who may need it. I believe sharing our struggles and stories helps all of us feel less alone.

Ry and I had the talks that maybe this wouldn't happen for us. The biggest heartache in that was thinking Wyatt wouldn't have a sibling- something we wanted for him. ❤️

If you're unfamiliar with our story:

- In 2014 we had a miscarriage at 15 weeks.💔

- Found out I have an 'incompetent cervix' 🙄 and would need a cerclage for future pregnancies.

- Six months later we were pregnant with Wyatt! ❤️

- Wyatt was born in July 2015.

- A few years later we started trying for another babe.

- It turned out to be a 2.5 year journey. In 2021, we took the summer off trying (I turnes 40) and our first month back in the game - boom. 💃 Pregnant!

- Two significant scares in my pregnancy. 

- June 2022 - Noah arrives! 🤗🤗
