We start with an amazing selection of chocolates, wickedly delicious cookies and subtly infused honey. We then offer a choice of freshly roasted Desert Sun Organic Coffees (a bold Southwest Morning blend, a rotating single origin bean), hot chocolate, or tea. And sometimes it's nice to have it all! There are three sizes for this gift basket, ranging from a smaller more personal size to the largest, suitable for a crowd. This crate is bound to create some serious fun!  Let the buzz begin!

Your gift will include a variety of items listed below, depending on size of crate selected. 

Handcrafted Aspen Crate - We take the issue of sustainability seriously. Everywhere you look around Telluride and the region the eye settles on large stands of Aspen trees.  Some of the trees in our area are cut and then milled in nearby Mancos. The resulting boards are used by a farmer near Dolores to handcraft our crates; he does woodworking in the winter and farms in the summer. A truly local product, not a basket made in Asia.
