Gourmet Christmas Gift Ideas: The Maison Fayard Guide

Foie gras, gift boxes, charcuterie, French prepared meals and gift cards: our gourmet Christmas gift ideas for every budget, shipped across Canada.

A gourmet gift is the gift of a moment: a festive dinner, an apero with friends, a discovery to share. At Christmas, it is also the gift that always pleases, with no risk of duplicates or wrong sizes. Here are our gourmet gift ideas for every budget, for food lovers, families and businesses.

Why give a gourmet gift?

A gourmet gift is shared, discovered and remembered. It suits everyone, from parents to colleagues, and fits every budget. Fine foods in cans or jars have an extra advantage: they keep for a long time, travel easily and can be enjoyed whenever the moment is right.

Foie gras, the holiday classic

In Quebec as in France, foie gras remains the ultimate gourmet Christmas gift. Our foie gras and chutney gift box brings together 130 g of foie gras and its chutney in a ready-to-give case. For a more prestigious gift, our whole Périgord duck foie gras in a jar or our whole goose foie gras always make an impression.

To add a few tips to your gift, share our guide what is foie gras and our pairings in which wine with foie gras.

Charcuterie, for apero lovers

For those who love to entertain, an assortment of French saucissons makes a convivial and original gift. Combine a few flavoured mini saucissons, a dry-cured saucisson with Périgord walnuts and our wooden saucisson guillotine, the accessory that always steals the show on an apero table. Add some duck rillettes for a complete gift.

French prepared meals, for food lovers

For a comforting and original gift, think of the great dishes of South-West France. Our premium duck leg confit cassoulet, presented in a Le Parfait jar, is as beautiful to give as it is to eat. Our Périgord duck confit will delight lovers of traditional cooking.

Build your own gift box

Prefer a tailor-made gift? With our build-your-own gift box, choose the products yourself to suit everyone's taste. For a beautiful presentation, add our Maison Fayard gift bag.

The gift card, to leave the choice

When in doubt, the Maison Fayard gift card is the ideal solution: it lets the recipient choose from our entire selection, and it is sent by email, even at the last minute.
