A great gift basket is hard to find, but Nuts on Clark has plenty for every occasion. Many businesses have made their living based on their gift baskets of mediocre quality. It is difficult to find a gift basket with any kind of “wow” factor.
You know that look on someone’s face when they open a great gift, that ear to ear grin that lights up their entire face? That’s the reaction that you want when you give a gift. Unfortunately, the gift basket has become a “nice” gift. It generally elicits the reaction of, “oh, that’s nice”, or “that was thoughtful”. While nice and thoughtful are important, when you give a gift you want it to mean something. You want it to be special!
The gift baskets from Nuts on Clark are the answer to the mediocre gift basket filled with soaps and bath salts. Nothing wows someone like the finest in edible treats and a slice of Chicago tradition. Let’s face it, most gift baskets go unused. They get stuffed in a closet somewhere, or re-gifted, or maybe they are picked through once before being thrown out. A Nuts on Clark gift basket will be used immediately. Who can resist a salty or sweet snack, made by a Chicago institution?
Next time you’re thinking about giving a boring gift basket, remember that you can give a Nuts on Clark gift basket that is both enjoyable and unique.

Nuts on Clark has many products that work well for corporate gifts. In a professional or business setting, giving gifts to co-workers, bosses, or clients is always a dilemma. The gift needs to work in a variety of ways. It has to be something that is inoffensive, not too personal, and something that fits a wide range of tastes. Luckily, the gift assortments and gift tins from Nuts on Clark offer edible treats that everyone and anyone can enjoy.
Corporate gifts do not have to be boring. There are only so many pens, mugs, and paper weights in the world. Why not spice it up with delicious and beautifully packaged delicacies that will put a smile on anyone’s face? Nuts on Clark is a Chicago staple, and a recognizable brand that packs both delicious flavor and Chicago history with every popcorn kernel it pops.
There are so many corporate gifts that go unused and unappreciated. It is extremely hard to shop for someone who you only know professionally. How are you supposed to know what gifts your boss would like? This is how you end up buying him/her that perfume or cologne set on sale at the department store. Only to find out that they despise pungent scents. There is also the opposite problem, where you feel you know your boss or co-worker too well, and end up buying a gift that is a little too personal, making things slightly uncomfortable. Thoughtful gifts are nice, but an overly thoughtful gift can cross the professional line. While buying a sweater for your boss or co-worker may seem like a good idea, it also implies that you know their clothing size. Never a good thing to speculate about.
Nuts on Clark has the corporate gift ideas that will make you the star of the office. Give the gift of delicious gourmet snacks, and avoid uncomfortable corporate gifting. Check the online store for a variety of corporate gift ideas.

Cheese popcorn: That salty, savory, and crunchy treat that always satisfies. There is something special about the whole process, from the first crunchy bite to licking the powdery cheese off of your fingers. Who cares if your face ends up orange and salty, the delicious flavor of the popcorn was worth it. Besides, with fake tans all the rage these days, who knows if a cheesy orange facial tint would even turn any heads. Nuts on Clark makes some of the finest cheese popcorn around, and it always seems to hit the spot.
Caramel popcorn is smooth, sweet, and satisfying. It gives you a candy-like sweetness with a crispy edge. It is really the crunch that sets caramel popcorn apart from other sweet treats. A great thing about caramel popcorn is the ability to eat at any time of day. It may be sweet like a dessert, but it is socially acceptable to eat at any time. Well, you can’t exactly have a bowl of caramel popcorn for breakfast, but few would look down upon a handful in the morning with your cereal. Caramel popcorn is really the anytime sweet treat, with a satisfying crunch.
So which is better? The savory and rich goodness of cheese popcorn, or the sweet crunch of caramel popcorn? Both have their time and place. Just as sweet and savory have their moments in a palate, the same goes for cheese and caramel popcorn. The great news is that Nuts on Clark makes incredible caramel and cheesy popcorn. Why not just buy both and decide for yourself? Or better yet, go with our patented mix. The debate will continue to rage on, but while we watch, we’ll be eating some popcorn.
