Here is my latest post from my other blog.

The San Francisco Fancy Food Show 2011 offered so many fabulous ideas for corporate gift baskets, holiday gifts, logo branding products, trade show give away and more I will just talk about a few in this article and add more later.

• One of my favorites for quality, taste, freshness, creativity and impact has to be Waggoner Chocolates.  They even have customized selections that include Chocolate Business Cards.  What better way to make an impact at a crowded trade show then personalized gifts with your companies business logo covering the finest chocolate available?  The selections I tasted at the show were pure delight.  I was so impressed I ended up speaking with Mr. Cedric “Joel” Waggoner, who is the president and a wonderful person as well.  He explained to me why they use only the best ingredients and how you taste it in the chocolate on every bite.  You can see some great photos of this amazing chocolate at my food blog.  Besides chocolate, they have carmel corn, roasted and frosted nuts, pretzels, sugar free and Chocolate Buckeyes, which are milk chocolate  and peanut butter.  Yes they are based in Ohio.  You can call them at 330-433-1834 to learn more or just order online.

• When you want more then chocolate to eat, why not turn to the age old joy, the famous fruitcake.  This is not just any fruitcake but one of the world’s most famous fruitcake.  Not to be confused with the search engine, the Yahoo Baking Company has one of the most famous fruitcakes in the world.  While you are there this week be sure to check out their stollen, which for a limited time comes with free shipping.  They also offer Liquor Cake and Layer Cakes, Coffee Cakes, Chocolate, Cheesecakes and cookies, and  nuts, snacks and gift baskets.  Their website makes ordering online quick and easy.  They have special pricing that is tailored to the corporate customers to best serve your needs.  Isn’t that sweet?  I had to put that in this article somewhere.

• There is one location whose focus is gift basket supplies and this is JDW Gift Basket Supplies.  They are a portal for everything gift baskets.  They have dried fruits, cookies and wafers, crackers, biscotti, candy, sausage, salsa, pop corn, pretzels, salmon and caviar and more.  If you need a general location for ordering and sending gift baskets filled with anything this is a good website.

On my next blog I will introduce you to some of the other discoveries from this year’s Fancy Food show.
