One of the best parts about Thanksgiving is the food, EVERYONE looks forward to it; whether it’s the turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffed cabbage, cranberry sauce, or pumpkin pie, I think we can all agree that Thanksgiving prioritizes a good taste. Thanksgiving is the perfect time to give a client, coworker, friend, family member, or loved one a gift, expressing how much you truly appreciate them – what better gift to give than a delicious treat that you can eat? Below we have highlighted the top 10 Thanksgiving food gifts that will make someone’s holiday Turkey-riffick!
But first, a little history:
In 1621, nearly 400 years ago, Americans celebrated their first Thanksgiving ever, hosting a delightful holiday feast shared between English colonists and the Wampanoag people to spread peace, joy, and thanks. Back then, the colonists of New England and Cannada commonly held “Thanksgivings” throughout the year as days of prayer to celebrate safe journeys, military victories, or abundant harvests. This practice has now evolved into the holiday we all know and love today – a day focused on spreading kindness, expressing gratitude, and bringing loved ones together for a delicious festive meal to enjoy with one another.
