Another gift idea, the Northwoods Sampler from Higher Grounds Trading Company is "inspired by the rolling dunes of Northern Michigan, the sparkling waters of the lakes and rivers near the Sleeping Bear Dune National Lakeshore and mother natur's abundance here in 'Up North' Michigan." 10% discount on all orders made before Wednesday, December 12. Just enter the discount code "holidays" during checkout.
Continuing along in the local gift giving vein, why not pair a local wine with a copy of the new book From the Vine: Exploring Michigan Wineries
Check out Northwestern Michigan College's winter schedule of community classes, where you'll find several of interest to local foodies. NMC offers gift certificates for a class, and you save five bucks if you purchase one ($25 or more) by December 18. That'd be a fun stocking stuffer! Here are just a few of the offerings.
While nibbling on a midday meal of raclette from Leelanau Cheese and Princess Alena's Slipper Bread from Patisserie Amie, I got to thinking about all the wonderful products available to us here in Northern Michigan. I've always enjoyed sending gifts to friends and family that offer a taste of the north, so I thought I'd start a list of what's available locally that would make great gifts for those on your list. And by all means, let me know what I've missed!
