The Perfect Gift from Vermont, Maple Syrup.
quality gift giving
Sometimes gifting is easy. You are familiar with the person and know just what they will love. You know what they need and what hobbies they are into and getting a special gift for an occasion is intuitive and easy. Other times, you may be unsure of the recipient’s genuine need and are unsure of what they will enjoy. No one wants to give a gift that is not needed or may take up too much space in someone's house. A gift should bring a smile to one's face, have many uses, be genuine, and not introduce excessive waste. 100% real Vermont maple syrup checks the boxes.
Vermont maple syrup in an elegant glass flask is sure to be appreciated during the holidays, on anniversaries, at birthdays, graduations, or any other day worthy of celebration. Maple syrup and its variety of colors, including a beautiful golden or amber hue, presents well in a glass bottle. It is a gift that is both visually appealing and wonderfully flavored. Maple syrup is a gift that hails from a small region of the world. Real maple syrup can only be produced in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. More than half of the maple syrup produced in the United States comes from Vermont, a state known for its maple heritage.

Syrup graded "Amber Rich" is a great all-around grade of syrup, and lastly, Dark Robust is the king of flavors. Dark Robust is desirable for marinades or baking when you want the maple flavor to be more noticeable. These are all grade-A syrups and can appeal to many people for many different uses.

“The maple syrup you buy now is made from some of the same trees that produced sap for producers hundreds of years ago.”
a gift with heritage and tradition
A product with heritage and tradition makes for a genuine and thoughtful gift. Early settlers learned the practice of boiling tree sap into lovely maple syrup from the Native peoples they encountered. The process of producing syrup from maple trees has been getting refined ever since. Generations of Vermont sugar makers have spent time with their families watching the sap boil in steamy sugar houses. The syrup you buy today is made similarly to how it was produced long ago. The recipe has not changed much. The production equipment has changed, but it strives to achieve the same purpose as equipment from long ago. That purpose was to get the water out of the sap and thicken it into that sweet nectar of the gods known as maple syrup. The maple syrup you buy now is made from some of the same trees that produced sap for producers hundreds of years ago. Maple syrup production is extremely sustainable, ensuring the creation of this all-natural product for many years to come.

Maple products make for a great gift, either planned or shipped directly to the recipient as a last-minute gift idea. There are so many positives to a high-quality, consumable, vitamin-packed, and edible gift produced with heritage in the great state of Vermont. Another great quality of receiving maple syrup as a gift is it can be easily opened, chugged, and recapped. People joke about drinking maple syrup straight from the bottle but I assure you it is fine, we do it often. If you want to let the sender of the gift know you appreciated it, drink some straight away.
