Who among us cannot be accused of waiting until the last minute to select, and buy, gifts?
For the culinarians on your list, many restaurants offer gift certificates. Anthony’s and Scott’s even sweetin the pot by offering deals that include bonus certificates for free certificates when you purchase a given number, or given amount, of gift certificates.
Olives Café &Wine Bar in Edmonds has taken this notion a step further. Sure they offer $25 for $20 but the real sleeper is the gift certificate for their Cooking Classes. The $70 deal includes an evening of entertainment, a little learning and a lot of flavor. Visit www.olivescafewinebar.com for more details.
Olive’s chef/owner has also just taken on Your Table Is Ready catering. This move will give greater space to accommodate catering and more flexible hours to conduct cooking classes in 2006.
Another flavorful Edmonds shop, the Resident Cheesemonger, is also offering gift certificates along with custom designed gift baskets for those fromagerie faciers on your list. Gift boxes come complete with all the accompaniments. Visit www.residentcheesemonger.com for more details.
