One of the great perks of owning a gift basket company is meeting and trying all the gourmet foods. My recent discovery (via Eric at Willa’s) is Willa’s Shortbread. They are “Traditionally Southern”.
Willa Allen started baking her traditional shortbread cookies for special events from her home in the Highlands of North Carolina. Before long her legendary shortbread cookies and cheese biscuits were being shipped via mail order across the country. Soon gourmet stores, bed and breakfasts and gift basket shops began carrying Willa’s products.
Now in business for over 30 years and owned and operated by the Rion Family, Willa’s was relocated to middle Tennessee where the southern tradition continues. Willa’s offers a variety of southern flavors and designs perfect for a Tennessee themed basket, Corporate Gifts, Thank You Gifts, and Wedding Treats.
Ask us about using Willa’s treats in your next basket order OR as a stand alone gift tin silk screen imprinted with your company’s logo, corporate colors and special message.

Have a mentioned how much I love working with chocolate?
I’ve seen lots of GREAT looking Easter Baskets in various stores these last few weeks. Whether you are buying a pre-made basket or putting one together yourself I caution you when mixing scented “toys” with chocolate. Chocolate tends to take on the smell and taste of whatever it is packaged with. Unless wrapped well, play dough and other scented products may ruin the taste and enjoyment of the chocolate treats.

The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting an International Business Council Luncheon this Wednesday that will focus on the effective domestic and international advertising the Jack Daniel’s Brand is known for. On Wednesday we’ll be treated to a historical overview of the “persona” of the Jack Daniel’s brand and the tactics that have turned it into a household name all over the world.
From the artisan wrappers to the amazing chocolate…Olive & Sinclair Chocolate makes a great addition to any gift basket but adds something special to a Nashville or Tennessee themed gift.
Olive & Sinclair are based in East Nashville and create a natural chocolate treat directly from the cocoa bean.
