We’re back with another AMAZING day of giveaways!! This is our 4th year doing Natalie’s 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways, and each year has been even more exciting than the last! So get ready for $16,000+ CAD worth of prizes from 48 incredible brands that I KNOW you’re going to LOVE! We tried to include as many local brands as possible that I LOVE to help support those small businesses that need it most right now!!! This is BY FAR our biggest and best year yet, so I give you full permission to freak out!! From now until December 13th (no, you’re not losing it—we have a BONUS day planned) I’ll be revealing alllll the details. Each day is packed with my favourite things and tons of local brands that we can’t wait to spoil you with. We’ll announce a new giveaway each day, so make sure to keep checking back!! AND make sure to enter any Days that you might have missed that you’d like to enter before entries close on Sunday, December 13th, 2020 at 11:59 PST!! Here we go with day 5!! EEK!

Today’s gift is all about the foodie, or should I say ‘Fraiche’ Foodie!!! I wanted to take the guesswork out of putting together a beautiful tablescape and arming you with the right tools for even the beginner foodie to take on Christmas dinner next year. Since we are all spending more time at home I thought this would be the perfect way to add a bit of sparkle to your home this holiday season!!! 

We have some amazing LOCAL brands a part of this one with everything a FOODIE would love!! Dinnerware to set you up to create a BEAUTIFUL tablescape at home, a signed celebrity cookbook (that is hard to even get right now) to create some delicious dishes from and for a festive evening we have a curated charcuterie box, a beautiful special occasion cake that will make your sweet dreams come true and of course some WINE to get the FOODIE in you started. We even have tickets to a Virtual Holiday Brunch for you and a friend to win!!! Now talk about a FOODIE Experience!!! And not only that but we have TWO of these packages to giveaway with a total value of $1,562.00 CAD!!! So why don’t we get to what is in your giveaway!!! 

Fable Home

Fable Home has graciously included a complete Dinnerware Set which includes 4 place settings. A complete 16 piece set of their dinner plates, salad plates, pasta bowls, and cereal bowls valued at approximately $236 and an overall value approximately $472!! At Fable they love to bring people together, setting the table for love, laughter, and storytelling. Their 16-piece Dinnerware Set is perfect for holiday entertaining and is absolutely beautiful ceramics, hand-finished in Portugal and one-of-a-kind. The ceramics come in two colours, of course I love the blush pink as you can see and they also come in speckled white. 

If you’re not already familiar, Fable is a Canadian owned company that creates artisanal small-batch dinnerware and flatware. When it comes to creating their dinnerware, Fable partners with artisans who commit to exceptional craftsmanship with the best materials, sustainable practices, and ethical employment. They create their products in small batches to ensure their excellence – because they believe firmly in quality over quantity. Fable focuses on transparency. From their pricing, who they partner with, and their environmental impact.

Signed Fraiche Food, Full Hearts Cookbook

Now that you have all new dinnerware you’ll want to fill those plates with some ‘FRAICHE FOOD.’ A labour of love, created by cousins and both friends of mine, Tori Wesszer and Jillian Harris. Tori shares, “if there is one thing my grandma taught me, it’s food is love. Our cookbook is filled to the brim with family favourite recipes and stories that have warmed my heart over the years, and it means the world to me that our labour of love is now in so many kitchens.  I hope it helps bring some comfort in the kitchen during this unpredictable time and allows people the chance to sit down and enjoy a nice meal with those they love. 

Cassandra Cake Co

“Let them eat cake!!” We want to help continue to dress up your table with a custom cake or dessert for a special occasion you have coming up from Cassandra Cake Co. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, a baby shower, a wedding, or even a Friday night at home, Cassandra will make your sweet dreams come true!! She continuously exceeds her clients expectations, including mine creating a stunning one-of-a-kind first birthday cake for Pierce. She literally creates works of edible art and loves to be able to take part in her clients special moments in life.

Daily Palette

There will be days you just don’t feel like cooking, and I think I can say for all of us during this pandemic that a break from dishes is what we ALL need and a little luxury these days. So this is exactly why we partnered with Daily Palette to give you a relief in the kitchen with one of their delicious and stunning grazing palettes, or more frequently called charcuterie platter. Vancouver’s first and finest grazing company offers both vegetarian and vegan options. Their new holiday FESTIVE COLLECTION features different size options which are perfect for any occasion. You could also check off your most difficult foodie on your Nice List and gift this instead!! They are also perfect for client gifts, office parties and virtual events. 

New to Daily Palette and the perfect in-between size, THE FESTIVE DUO is ideal for gifting to loved ones that you can’t be with during the holidays & even comes wrapped up with a pretty bow!  We are giving away TWO of these FESTIVE DUO’s valued at $75.00 CAD each!!! It’s up to you how you’d like to enjoy your curated grazing board but I know it will be absolutely stunning and delicious!!

Evolve 2018 Sauvignon Blanc

What’s a tablescape without some wine???! Evolve Cellars is my go-to for any quick gift or dinner party (oh, how I miss entertaining). Not to mention a glass in the kitchen while you’re cooking is an especially great way to spend your evening. The Evolve 2018 Sauvignon Blanc is filled with tropical fruits of lime and nectarine. Bright, lively citrus and summer fruit flavours of melon, nectarine and pear. Pairs well with your charcuterie board from Daily Palette!! 

Substance Group presents Perfect Pairings – A Virtual Interactive Cooking Experience

To complete today’s giveaway, we couldn’t send you away without arming you with the cooking skills required of any true FOODIE. MMA fighter and ex-Amazing Race competitor Elias Theodorou and acclaimed Canadian Chef Matt Basile will be hosting a Virtual Holiday Brunch Experience this holiday season and we are giving away TWO PAIRS of TICKETS!! 

You will be able to log in online and cook with Elias and Chef Matt in the comfort of your own home. The best part: It’s all for a good cause and you know how I love a charitable component. Proceeds will support autism employment initiatives through the annual Spectrum Works Job Fair. If you’d like to buy tickets for your friends and family and help support this intiative, please check out the link here. 

You will learn how to make one of Chef Basile’s favourite recipes, Johnny Cakes, in a fun, interactive cooking experience from the comfort of your own kitchen!!! The event also includes a live Q&A with the chef Basile & Elias Theodorou.

I thought it would be something festive and fun for the foodie while bringing family and friends together during the holidays since it’s a safe and interactive event we can all do together virtually. We even took the guesswork of buying your ingredients for you and will be taking care of that for you. So all you need to do is put on a clean shirt, because who wears pants on Zoom these days, and get your butt into the kitchen for a morning of food and fun!! 

So you’ll WIN a ticket for you and your family, whoever is taking part with you, along with a gift card to purchase the ingredients, as well as another ticket so you can bring a little joy to a loved ones life!!! Valued at approximately $100/each!!! And a total value of approximately $200.00 CAD!!!

    I am drooling over those place settings! Gorgeous. Since March, I have increased the amount of scratch cooking that I have been doing. I will admit I am using some of the recipe boxes to stay sane, but also to learn new cooking techniques. I know now that I have been cooking my meats at too low a temperature and also that roasted veggies are dead easy to make and taste delicious. I even make my salsa – and ketchup from scratch now. We don’t call for pizza either. Learning from chefs is always awesome – and my husband and I were lucky enough to meet Chef Matt Basile at an event a few years ago. He is a brilliant cook and so personable. And my Dad’s favourite childhood dish was Johnny Cake! I need to sign up for that class. Thanks for the heads up!

    I love Tori! Her recipes and advice on her blog are spot on! And a virtual brunch with place settings!! Sounds like a prefect day – which admittedly have been far and few between since March.
