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.

Life update. ❤ I’ll be keeping this piece of Life update. ❤

I’ll be keeping this piece of art forever. Wyatt painted this for me back in January, when I was isolated with Covid. I taped it up on the wall beside the bed during my stay in our guest room. If you zoom in, you’ll see me in the front with the big baby belly. (Wyatt calls me ‘big belly’ these days!)

Rainbows represent promise, hope, and new beginnings. 

It's been a rough past few weeks for our family, hence my absence online. Thank you so much for your messages of love, concern, and support. They mean so much to us. I know I share a lot with you on here, but I’m not going to get into details this time. Just know we're doing alright. Junebug is great (and kicking and rolling around non-stop!), Wyatt is awesome per usual, and Ryan and I are rock solid.

I had to take a break from work. My main focus has always been (and will
always be) protecting the peace, health, and well-being of our family unit. 

Social media can be a beautiful place where connection and inspiration happens. Unfortunately, it can also foster hurtful and harmful attacks. I’ve learned so much over these past few weeks, and have deeply reflected on my presence and future plans online. I’ll share more soon, but for now, I just wanted to check in, say a sincere thanks, and let you know we’re all good. ❤️

❔️Please ask any questions. That’s the whole reason why I share about this. I believe sharing our experiences and personal stories helps all of us feel less alone and often validates what we’re going through. 

(If you can believe it, I took a video of the exact moment I found out but it disappeared from my files. Poof! Gone.💨 Of all the videos to lose…. 🙈 But very happy to have this photo).
