Good morning, y’all! Hopefully y’all are getting used to the Daylight Savings shift. It comes around every year and yet it still happens to surprise us. Funny that! Work has been ramping up at the bakery, and we’re planning on hunkering down after Thanksgiving when the holiday orders come in. It’s a special time, because we’re excited to announce that our Christmas boxes are back this year!
Last year, we introduced holiday boxes as a fun new way for people living in other cities and states to get the taste of the bakery in their homes while supporting special needs adults. We’ve been shipping using eBay for years, but shipping mixes was relatively new to us, so the idea of holiday boxes started out as something of an experiment. The response blew us out of the water, though– we offered 100 boxes, and over three quarters of them were shipped all across the continental US (and even Hawai’i!). It was crazy discovering that people all across the country resonated with our mission. I’d say the experiment was a success!
So naturally, we had to give it another shot this year too, right?
Introducing the 2023 Special Kneads and Treats Christmas Box! It’s available for preorder on eBay right now, and shipping will begin on December 1st. Check it out, we have some new goodies this year! Included in the box is:
- A bag of Special Kneads Red Velvet cake mix
- A bag of Special Kneads cream cheese icing mix
- A bottle of an exclusive Special Kneads Christmas box sprinkle mix
- A bag of Gigi’s hot chocolate mix
- A 15-oz Special Kneads coffee mug for that hot cocoa
- A custom-made exclusive Special Kneads Christmas ornament
- A pack of 12-count cupcake picks or cupcake rings
Additionally, like last year, the interiors of all the Christmas boxes are being decorated by our staff. You won’t know what design you get until you open your very own box! And new this year, for anyone who wanted to indulge but couldn’t due to dietary restrictions, we’re also offering a gluten-free Christmas box! Same shipping schedule, same everything, except the red velvet cake mix is replaced with a gluten-free variant.
Can you tell we’re excited? Christmastime is always a very busy but very fun time of year. The Special Kneads Christmas Box is just another way that we can share the love and spread it far beyond our (relatively) dinky little bakery in Lawrenceville, Georgia. We hope you enjoy the holidays and the goodies that you make with this box!
In the meantime, though, we’re going to hunker down and prepare for what we lovingly call “Choc-pocalypse.” Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
