Q4 has a funny way of sneaking up on everyone. One minute it's patio season, the next someone in the group chat is asking who's booking the holiday party and whether anyone sorted the client gifts.
Hi. This one's for whoever got volunteered.
The dates that matter
Under 500 boxes: confirm by October 31
Card copy and final build: November 15
Delivery: December 1 to 22
Closing the year well comes down to two things: a way to say thank you, and a way to actually celebrate. We can help with both.
Part one: the gifts
Nobody remembers another branded water bottle.
Everybody remembers the box that showed up with a proper cheese, a bottle that suits it, and a couple of good tins they'd never have bought for themselves.
Pick one of our combinations, or tell us what you're after and our mongers will choose what goes inside. Good clients get gifts. Great clients get Good Cheese.
Boxes start at $60 and baskets at $50. No account to set up, no minimum to clear. Send us the headcount, the budget and the vibe.
What makes a gift land
Make it shareable. A gift that ends up on the office table, with everyone hovering, does twice the work.
Think shelf life. Tinned fish, crackers and jams don't mind sitting on a desk over a long weekend.
Write the card. One real line from a real person beats a logo every time.
Part two: the celebration
The team party does not need a ballroom. Some of the best year-end nights we've seen are twenty people, a few boards and good wine around one long table.
Staying at the office? Our boards are built behind the counter with 24 hours' notice. Tell us about dietary needs and we'll build around them.
Want to get out of the office? Our shop hosts private events for up to 26 people. We're fully accessible, with a ramp at the entrance and main floor washrooms.
Major perk alert: every guest gets 10% off retail to take home, and the host gets 15%.
How much food do you need?
About 60 grams of cheese a head if it's a snack, 120 to 150 grams if it's dinner. Three to five cheeses, however big the party gets. Our party math guide has the rest.
Close the quarter. Open something incredible.
