1. Piquant
Marketing’s
Holiday
Gift Guide

2. As a marketing agency that specializes
in the food industry, we like to celebrate
almost everything with food.
With the holidays coming up, we thought
we’d share our favourite products to give
and receive.*
*hint hint

3. Old Joy Gift
Baskets
Gorgeous, unique, ethically-
sourced, and ‘uniquely
curated’ these are a luxury
to receive and beg to be
shared on Instagram.
They’ll do the work for you
& even deliver it. Curated
local/PNW gifts to fit
holidays and beyond.

4. Beta5 Street Art
Gift Boxes
Beta5 Chocolates are like the
Andy Warhol of chocolate -
innovative, gorgeous, and totally
unique. We love these because
they’re wrapped in a limited
edition signed print from a local
artist. Beta5 does also does their
own spin on holiday classic
chocolates, but this is for the hip
client who doesn’t want to see
another gingerbread flavoured
something.

5. Local Craft Brew
Advent Calendar
Vancouver has really perfected
its microbrews in the last few
years and these hoppy and
smooth beers can help you get
through the holidays with an
adult advent calendar. Central
City Brewers + Distillers and
Parallel 49 Brewing Company
have partnered up for our pick
of the season.

6. ChocoHappy
Handcrafted
Chocolates
As Piquant Co-Founder
Kristen says ‘I just effing
love these and I can
pack a bunch of them in
a stocking because of
their packaging.’

7. Nikaido Tea
If you find yourself in
Steveston, Nikaido Tea is an
absolute must to visit. A
homage to the Japanese
history of the village, you’ll find
gorgeous ceramics, elegant
stationary and the most
premium and beautiful teas in
the city like ‘Summer Harvest-
Shizouka’ or ‘Spring Harvest
Green Tea from Uji’.

8. Dips & Spreads of
the Gods
We swear Vancouver has
the best dip selection.
Yummus Hummus (smoked
hummus please!), Spread
‘Em (the beet dip on
everything!), and Habibi’s
Chocolate Tahini
(enough said).

9. Canadian Cookbooks
We love our Canadian
chefs including the
Minimalist Baker, Vij, or
This Rawsome Vegan Life.
Who doesn’t love
cookbooks? Either to dog-
ear and cook with or to
flip through on a lazy day
on the couch.

10. Happy Gifting!
