New Hampshire Food Gift Ideas for Every Kind of Table

For a New Hampshire food gift, choose a smokehouse assortment around the way someone likes to eat. A maple-and-pancake gift suits a breakfast lover. A cheese sampler gives them several cheeses and pepperoni to share. For the host who loves a generous board, our Charcuterie Gift Box adds dips, jam and mustard to the mix.

For the breakfast lover: Syrup Sampler

Our Syrup Sampler Gift Box pairs a pint of Taylor Brothers 100% pure New Hampshire maple syrup with Taylor Brothers Sugarhouse Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix. It is an easy gift to put to work: mix the batter, warm the griddle and pour the maple.

Choose it for a weekend host, a thank-you or a family breakfast. For a smaller gift, choose a half-pint of syrup on its own. Our maple breakfast ideas include oatmeal, yogurt and French toast combinations.

For the cheese lover: Cheese Sampler

The Cheese Sampler Gift Box brings together Garfield’s creamy Smoked Cheese, sharp Smoked Cheddar, sliced pepperoni and a selection of additional cheeses. It makes a generous tasting plate for someone who likes to compare flavors.

Our two smoked cheeses are slow cold-smoked by hand in Meriden, with a golden rind that is edible and rich in smoky flavor. The sampler includes meat as well as cheese. For a cheese-focused gift of your own, combine a cracker-sized bar and Smoked Cheddar with the recipient’s favorite crackers.

For the snack-plate enthusiast: Snack Pack

The Snack Pack Gift Box combines Garfield’s Smoked Cheese, Smoked Cheddar and sliced pepperoni with a Cabot flavored cheddar, Halladay’s dip mixes and Blackwater mustard. Add crackers and a crisp apple for a plate with plenty of combinations.

Choose it for a friend who enjoys a cheese-and-cracker lunch or someone who likes having a few good snacks ready for visitors. The pepperoni is ready to eat from the package, and the cheese is ready to slice. Our pairing guide helps round out the plate.

For the host: Charcuterie Gift Box

Our Charcuterie Gift Box is a larger assortment built around smoked cheese, Smoked Cheddar, nibbles and sliced pepperoni, with additional cheeses, dip mixes, jam and mustard. It gives a host the makings of a varied spread.

Serve the cheeses in separate places, fan the pepperoni alongside and spoon the condiments into small bowls. Add fresh fruit, bread and crackers at home. Our board-building guide shows how much to plan for four or eight guests and how to arrange the food.
