Hi-

I'm late getting out the Holiday Newsletter this year, and I'll bet you've been delayed in finishing your Christmas shopping, too!  To save you another 10 trips to the mall, we offer 2 great gift baskets for your food-loving friends, co-workers and family members that are delicious, reasonably priced, and simple to order.

Did I mention simple? Yep.

Order soon! FYI, our last orders will ship on December 23rd, then we'll resume shipping January 5, after our Christmas break. We'll need it!

	If you're shopping for someone that's a serious food lover, and/or a serious cook, they'll love this Gourmet Gift Basket! It features: • Tibvrtini Olio Extra Virgene di Oliva, voted one of the top 7 olive oils in the world by Taste magazine in 2002. • Tibvrtini Aceto di Vino Blanco, an organic, unfiltered white wine vinegar. • A tin of our Survival Spice™ barbecue rub. • Our high quality, colorful DIF logo apron; comfortable, with an adjustable strap and two pockets. At $59.99, it's a great value!
	Our BBQ Lovers Gift Basket is filled with popular Desert Island Foods.com goodies: • A tin of Survival Spice™, our Scovie Award winning barbecue rub. Also included is a booklet with suggestions and tips for use, and you can always find more information here. • A DIF Logo Apron. It's made from 100% Teflon® impregnated cotton, so you'll keep your clothes clean while looking great. • A 10" E-Z Hook® , terrific for the grill, pulling pickles and olives out of jars, breading food, etc. • We also include a nifty DIF refrigerator magnet that has space for jotting down important numbers. A great deal for only $29.99!
	Survival Spice™ always makes a great stocking stuffer! Why not pick up a six-pack to give out as last minute gifts?

Have a wonderful, delicious holiday season! Naturally we've got lots of great ideas and free recipes at The Pragmatic Chef™.  As always, thanks for reading and please help us spread the word by forwarding this to a few food-loving friends.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!
