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.

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.
