GORP Clean Energy Bars It was the big signs alongside the highway in a field of sunflowers – 'Grown for GORP bars' – that prompted me to connect with this local company. This product is wholesome, healthy and definitely not just for athletes. There's something to be said for SEEING where ingredients are grown for a product! Buckshots Buckwheat Snacks Healthy snacking items are hard to come by, but when I tasted some of these buckwheat snacks at Local Meats and Frozen Treats, I was sold. buckwheat is an ancient grain that has many health benefits and is also gluten free. buckshots are a flavourful snack item that is a perfect fit for my gift baskets. Use quality ingredients The perfect gift basket starts with quality ingredients. There are many inexpensive food or snack items on the shelves that can be put into a basket to make it look full, but it's important to consider: do they taste good, are they produced in a reputable facility, and are there strict regulations in place regarding ingredients? I only purchase items from companies where I can be assured the products meet these requirements. When I use Manitoba made products in my baskets, I don't even have to ask these questions – I know that these are products that I can trust! Choose fresh local products The perfect basket also has not been sitting in a warehouse for months. The Mulberry Tree Gift baskets are made to order. My products are ordered locally and nationally on a regular basis to ensure turnover, so that products are fresh. There is a sense of real gift giving when I attach the name of the recipient to the baskets I am making. I can even tailor baskets to specific requests, making it all the more special. Select useful items The perfect basket contains items you will use. Each basket is thoughtfully designed with the recipient in mind: is this product healthy, does it taste wonderful, would I be happy to get this basket? I provide a wide variety of choice for clients so that they can tailor the gift to the recipient. Make it beautiful The perfect basket looks awesome! I take pride in the details of the baskets I assemble – I use colour co-ordinated containers and fill, as well as seasonal print cellophane and a hand-tied bow. The average person won't realize the little details that go into making a great looking basket, but they will recognize the fact that it looks wonderful! •PoppyseedRolls •PoppyseedSlice •PoppyseedFilling •Koilech •CabbageRolls(riceorkasha) •Peroshki(sauerkraut,prune orpotato) •Perogies(cottagecheese, potatoandcheddar,kasha) •Knishes-AssortedFillings HOliday Products 247 Selkirk Ave • 204-582-2364 • www.gunnsbakery.com HOliday Products Happy Holidays •Fruitcake •Vinatarta •AssortedChristmas& ShortbreadCookies •Dainties&Tortes •HungarianCheesecake •8"or12"YuleLogs •AssortedEuropeanStyle BreadsandRolls.
