Piquant Marketing’s Holiday
Gift Guide
As a marketing agency that specializes in the food industry, we like to celebrate
almost everything with food.
With the holidays coming up, we thought we’d share our favourite products to give
and receive.*
*hint hint
Old Joy Gift Baskets
Gorgeous, unique, ethically-sourced, and ‘uniquely
curated’ these are a luxury to receive and beg to be
shared on Instagram.
They’ll do the work for you & even deliver it. Curated local/PNW gifts to fit holidays and beyond.
Beta5 Street Art Gift Boxes
Beta5 Chocolates are like the Andy Warhol of chocolate -
innovative, gorgeous, and totally unique. We love these because they’re wrapped in a limited
edition signed print from a local artist. Beta5 does also does their
own spin on holiday classic chocolates, but this is for the hip client who doesn’t want to see another gingerbread flavoured
something.
Local Craft Brew Advent Calendar
Vancouver has really perfected its microbrews in the last few years and these hoppy and
smooth beers can help you get through the holidays with an adult advent calendar. Central City Brewers + Distillers and Parallel 49 Brewing Company have partnered up for our pick
of the season.
ChocoHappy Handcrafted Chocolates
As Piquant Co-Founder Kristen says ‘I just effing
love these and I can pack a bunch of them in a stocking because of
their packaging.’
Nikaido TeaIf you find yourself in
Steveston, Nikaido Tea is an absolute must to visit. A homage to the Japanese
history of the village, you’ll find gorgeous ceramics, elegant stationary and the most
premium and beautiful teas in the city like ‘Summer Harvest-Shizouka’ or ‘Spring Harvest
Green Tea from Uji’.
Dips & Spreads of the Gods
We swear Vancouver has the best dip selection.
Yummus Hummus (smoked hummus please!), Spread ‘Em (the beet dip on
everything!), and Habibi’s Chocolate Tahini (enough said).
Canadian CookbooksWe love our Canadian chefs including the
Minimalist Baker, Vij, or This Rawsome Vegan Life.
Who doesn’t love cookbooks? Either to dog-ear and cook with or to flip through on a lazy day
on the couch.
Happy Gifting! Piquant Marketing is a Vancouver-based
marketing agency whose expertise is in the food industry.
