Introducing Elf Grams!

Remember when you were in school and you could send a Candy Gram to a friend to show you were thinking of them?  Elf Grams are the same concept except you can surprise your friend or family member with a treat from a local baker.  Our “baker elves” have delicious handmade treats that you can order to make someone’s holiday a little brighter.  You can order the items for pickup or some can be delivered for an additional charge.  (Scroll down to see participants and details.)

This idea stemmed from the fact that this year has been particularly isolating and we haven't been able to see our friends very much.  My hope is to bring back some of that excitement of younger years when you got a surprise little treat from a friend and it made your whole day.  Holiday cheer is so needed right now so let's bring it to our friends and family!

Another reason I'm doing this idea is to help our local small businesses.  Small businesses are the heartbeat of our community and they need us more than ever.  Remember, when you are supporting a small business you are literally helping someone make their dreams come true.  Also, I'm only here to come up with the idea, get some people together, and help advertise it.  Each baker makes their own products, sets their own terms, and keeps 100% of their money.  This blog post is just a resource so you know how to contact them.  Click their links and you can Direct Message them on Instagram to order!
