Gifting instead of holiday travel this year? Choosing to host a holiday event – perhaps, an open house – to connect safely with a very limited number of friends? Dropping gifts at friends\u2019 doorsteps in lieu of traditional communal meals?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re considering a casual, sparsely populated indoor event, why not stagger guests\u2019 invitation times and create additional comfort by offering each guest a holiday mask?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Creating new Thanksgiving, Hanukkah<\/a> or Christmas<\/a> memories can not only forever memorialize the gifts you give but can give rise to new holiday traditions we may then honor year after year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most people I know want to deepen the meaning of the time they spend with friends and family this holiday season. Consider dropping off Essential Douglas Fir Shortbread\u2122<\/a>. Calling ahead to drop off a gift is more fun than you can imagine!<\/span> That fun is compounded when you spend an afternoon visiting additional friends, family and people in your personal sphere.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unique; beautifully gift-sized; amazingly economical.<\/span> If you\u2019re in Portland Metro, we can arrange for you to pick up<\/em><\/strong> to save local shipping fees.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Nov order window<\/strong> for Essential Douglas Fir Shortbread\u2122<\/a> to ensure delivery for Hanukkah or Thanksgiving closes tomorrow<\/strong>. The Dec order window for delivery prior to Christmas opens on Sun, 5-Dec.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The excitement of the season \u2013 seasonal challenges notwithstanding \u2013 is upon us. Challenge brings innovation, yes?<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With delight, we announce our first press release of Essential Douglas Fir Shortbread!<\/strong><\/span> Here\u2019s the link.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you for your support of Essential Confection.<\/p>\n
