Update From Finest Expressions...

Today's post is a little different. We thought we would update you on what's new and exciting here at Finest Expressions. Basically an update on what we are working on and planning to do in the coming months. Summer is almost over even though here in Toronto, it didn't really feel like it even began. We had a lot of thunderstorms and rainfall through out the month of June, July and now August.

At this time of the year, we start our planning for the holiday season. Designing new products, developing the marketing plans, and getting ready for a busy busy season. We are very excited about introducing our holiday diaper cakes and baby gift baskets this year. They will be in vibrant colours and beautiful holiday themes. Stay tuned on our blog and website for more information!

As always we are committed to delivering your gifts on time and appreciate your cooperation in placing your orders as soon as possible. Custom designed products, such as our Baby Diaper Cakes, Finest Blossoms, Finest Blooms and Candy and Chocolate Bouquets take approximately 3-4 business days for delivery. The reason for this being, they are made fresh once an order is placed. However, we do complete urgent orders upon your request. Please call or email us if you need to place a rush order on any of our custom designed products.

All orders for Gift Baskets that are placed before 10:30 A.M EST are delivered the following business day unless you request another delivery date.

We will be updating our Holiday Shipping Deadlines in October. Please visit our website for more Shipping and Delivery information.

Even though it might seem a little depressing to think about a snowy winter in August, we do get excited about the holiday season. With its bustling activities, festive cuisines and the joy of spending time with family and friends its surely a season to enjoy!

Candy & Chocolate Bar

This is a really cute idea that one of our client’s did at her baby shower that we had to share with you. Instead of the pre-packed favours she had set-up a candy and chocolate bar for the guests to pick out their own treats at the end of the party. A wide selection of candies such as jelly beans, mints and hard candy were displayed on one end along with various assortment of chocolates on the other. She also had a nut free chocolates section for those with allergies.

For favour containers she used our Chinese boxes and used clear candy bags to line them.

A neat idea to let your guests choose their own favorite delectables to enjoy after the event.

Tip Of The Day

Writing thank you notes for all the baby gifts can be a challenge for the new parents as they try to adjust to life with their bundle of joy. Help them out by having the baby shower guests write their address on envelopes or labels. This way the new parents just have to write the thank you notes and not worry about addressing the envelopes.

Finest Blooms - Baby Sock Bouquets

Instead of the usual flower bouquets send the new mom these beautiful baby sock bouquets. Made out of adorable baby socks these long stemmed roses make a unique gift that can be used or kept as a keepsake. Accented with fresh baby’s breathe they come packaged in a white flower box.

Choose from one or two dozen baby sock bouquets and surprise the new parents!

Tastings / Tours / On-Site Sales Approved!

This past Tuesday I had a hearing before the Placentia Planning Commission to decide whether The Bruery should be permitted to have a tastings / tours / sales at the brewery.  The Commissioners seemed very interested in the brewery, and it was approved!  It didn't hurt that the previous item on the agenda was a bit gloomy-- the revocation of a permit for a massage parlor (happy ending, anyone?).

We'll likely start tasting room hours on Friday, September 5th.  We'll do our best to be open every Friday (2 pm to 8 pm) and Saturday (12 pm to 6 pm).  As we get closer, we'll let you know for sure. 

I'm looking forward to having visitors and being able to share our beer and passion.
