Holiday gifting is the highest-stakes gifting moment of the year. The gift list is long, the timing is tight, the recipients range from close family to corporate clients you've never met, and the gifts themselves get scrutinized because the recipient is opening them in front of other people. That's the context Nut Cravings builds our holiday gift catalog around. Every assortment in this collection is packed fresh in Monroe, NY, OU kosher certified across the core catalog, and built to work for Christmas, Hanukkah, corporate holiday programs, and everything in between. No stale warehouse inventory. No chocolate-heavy assortments that fail diabetic or low-sugar recipients. No generic gift baskets that look identical to what every other retailer ships.
Holiday Gift Formats Available
Our holiday collection spans five presentation formats. Pick the one that matches the moment.
Holiday gift towers. Stacked tiered boxes bound by festive ribbon, opening in layers for a tiered unboxing experience. Our most-searched holiday format because the visual weight of a tower hits differently than a flat basket. Three-tier towers work for individual recipients, four-tier for mid-tier corporate gifting, five-tier for statement gifts. Browse the gift towers collection.
Holiday sectional gift trays and baskets. Flat wooden, seagrass, or sectional cardboard presentations with multiple compartments of mixed nuts, dried fruits, and chocolate-covered extras. Good for sharing across a family table or office team. See gift trays and nut gift trays.
Wooden holiday gift trays. Solid reusable wood presentations. The gift that stays in the recipient's rotation long after the contents are gone. Works especially well for executive holiday gifts and for recipients who entertain. Browse wooden gift trays.
Holiday gift boxes with sectional compartments. Closed-box presentations with a lid. Good for mid-tier gifting and mailable presentations that need to survive shipping. See gift boxes.
Holiday variety pack gift boxes. Multi-pouch presentations with individual resealable pouches. Each pouch stays fresh independently, which makes this format especially good for holiday gifting to distributed teams, long-distance family, and recipients who'll pace consumption across the holiday season. See variety pack gift boxes.
Christmas and Hanukkah Gift Assortments
The two dominant holidays in the December gifting window have slightly different gifting defaults, though our product catalog serves both cleanly.
Christmas gift assortments typically use red, green, gold, and silver ribbon work, lean into chocolate-covered components where appropriate, and span the full gifting budget range from under $30 to over $150 for executive presentations.
Hanukkah gift assortments typically use blue and silver ribbon work, lean toward kosher-certified non-chocolate options (observant recipients often avoid mixing dairy and other categories), and work especially well with our Crop by Pop organic line for recipients with strict dietary observance.
For kosher-certified holiday gifts specifically, every product in this collection that carries OU certification is marked on the individual product page. For Passover-adjacent gifting (rare in December but relevant for Purim and Tu B'Shvat observance), look for chametz-free notes.
Thoughtful Holiday Gifts for Your Team
Q4 is when this collection does most of its work. Corporate clients show up looking for gifts that cover client sends, employee appreciation, vendor thank-yous, board member gestures, and the whole stack of end-of-year "we should really acknowledge these people" lists. Holiday nut and gift basket programs handle all of that without you having to think hard about any one of them.
Orders of 25 units or more open up customization: branded ribbons with your company logo, custom enclosure cards with personalized messaging, volume pricing, and consolidated invoicing for procurement. Production lead time for custom ribbons runs three to five weeks, which means Q4 holiday orders need to lock in by mid-October to guarantee pre-December delivery.
Orders of 100 units or more unlock dedicated account management, custom SKU development for specific corporate specifications, flexible multi-address shipping (direct-to-recipient with your branded message, or consolidated to a single corporate address), and extended payment terms for enterprise procurement cycles.
Orders of 500+ units get a single point of contact, custom packaging options (logo-stamped wooden trays for top-tier executive gifts), and consolidated reporting for end-of-year corporate gift tracking.
Browse the corporate gifting collection for ready-to-order bulk options, or use the corporate inquiries page for custom quotes with pricing.

Holiday Gift Recipient Considerations
For the family with kids: sectional trays with Kremery chocolate components work. Kids eat chocolate, adults pick at nuts and dried fruits.
For the health-conscious recipient: skip chocolate-heavy assortments. The organic Crop by Pop line, nut-only gift towers, and unsulphured dried fruit variety packs work better.
For the corporate client whose dietary practice you don't know: kosher-certified assortments default. Hits across every dietary restriction that matters for corporate gift compliance.
For the long-distance family member or distributed team: variety packs with individual resealable pouches. Each pouch maintains its own shelf life.
For the executive or high-value client: wooden gift trays or five-tier gift towers. The format says "considered" in a way that a flat cardboard box doesn't.
For the diabetic or low-sugar recipient: nut-focused assortments without chocolate-covered components. Unsulphured dried fruit options where dried fruit is included.
Holiday Gift FAQs
Q Are Nut Cravings holiday gifts kosher?
Yes. Core holiday gift products are OU kosher certified. Individual product pages list specific certifications including chametz status.
Q When should I order holiday gifts for Christmas 2026?
Order by Friday, December 11 for standard shipping. For corporate bulk orders with custom ribbons, lock in by mid-October.
Q Do holiday gift baskets include chocolate?
Most sectional and Kremery-line assortments include chocolate components. Nut-only and dried-fruit-only variants are available for chocolate-free gifting.
Q Can I customize the ribbon or include my company logo?
Every order includes the option to add a personalized enclosure card at checkout, so you can write whatever message lands right for the recipient. For branded ribbons or a custom logo on the gift itself, those come into play on bulk orders of 25 units or more, since the print setup has to be worth running.

Standard orders ship within one to two business days. Expedited 2-day shipping available at checkout during peak season.
Q Do these gifts ship internationally?
Yes. International shipping takes 7 to 10 business days. Lock in international orders by December 10 for Christmas delivery.
