2. Bacon and Eggs!
Yes, that’s right. Why not stick to the basics and give them something they won’t expect? Organic soy-free eggs from cage-free, pastured chickens are high in Omega 3s and a special treat. And The Original Bacon Kit™ offers everything they need, except the pork belly, to make homemade bacon including: a curing bag, cure, maple sugar, a thermometer, and an instruction sheet. Surprise them with these “upgraded” indulgences!
Price: 4 dozen eggs starting at about $30.99, and $22.99 for The Bacon Kit
