Maple syrup for great gift ideas

There is an art to gift-giving, and often people who choose gifts buy something that pleases themselves without regard for the person they are buying for. First, ask yourself a few questions about the recipient of your gift. What does he/she do in his/her free time? What are your hobbies, your likes and dislikes?

If they’re very health-conscious or inclined to buy only organic foods, certified organic maple syrup makes an easy and thoughtful gift. It can be used as a sweetener to turn regular coffee into maple lattes or to flavor oatmeal or other breakfast cereals. Research being carried out at various universities has found that this syrup is a healthy cocktail full of minerals and vitamins. With the controversy over high fructose corn syrup, the savvy American consumer is turning to maple syrup when it comes to satisfying their sweet tooth. That’s a good reason to give away organic syrup. You may be wondering where the best syrup is to be found. In New England, of course! The state of Vermont is the largest producer in the United States, boiling enough maple sap to bottle a record 1,140,000 gallons of pure maple syrup in 2011.

Looking for the perfect gift to buy for a foodie friend or gourmet cook? The internet is full of fabulous recipes that use maple syrup in appetizers and entrees, as well as desserts. Treat your favorite cook to a beautiful maple leaf glass bottle that shimmers with a rich amber sweetness and a selection of gourmet maple recipes you’ve found especially for them.

Bringing your hostess a gift when she’s invited to a holiday dinner or special weekend in the country? Impress your host/hostess with a fine bottle of 100 percent pure maple syrup. It’s a much more imaginative gift than the traditional bottle of wine, and if luck is on your side, you might even be served a delicious pancake breakfast in bed. The gift of giving is always enhanced when one receives a gift that will actually be used. Every person who loves food and loves to eat well will enjoy a special and unique bottle of maple syrup in their Christmas stocking or under the Christmas tree this year. So when you’re tired of the malls and department store hype, try a gift for all seasons, one that is unexpected and suits all sizes and ages, a delicious bottle of flavorful organic maple syrup from Vermont.
