Meryl's Notes Blog

I plan to send gifts to my clients this year for the first time now that I’m a full-time Content Maven. The selection process has been difficult and I can’t make up my mind. First, I thought I would do shortbread cookies from a woman that fellow IVWCC members spoke of highly. But based on research, shortbread is not a commonly liked item.

Next I considered World’s Finest Chocolate. I sold these when I played on sports teams as a kid. It’s funny because I got sick of selling them, but the candy was high quality and tasty. They have a box that comes with miniature versions of the original bar.

My son came home on Thursday with the annual gift wrap fundraising catalog. The treats in there look delicious, but we’ve never tried them. It would be nice to help the school while thanking my clients. Anyone ever taste Sally Foster’s treats, which are Harry London Chocolates?

Then I came up ith a crazy idea of baking the gifts on my own. I nixed that as I am afraid the preservation and shipping process wouldn’t guarantee the baked goods arrive in high quality condition.

Then I talked with family and we brainstormed a great idea. I’m going to contact a couple of places in town (it saves on double shipping… sending it to me, and then me sending it to the clients) that make traditional Texas food.

This drives me insane. What have you done in the past?
