For this holiday season, the popular gourmet soft pretzel producer has launched three different holiday-themed gift boxes: Happy Everything ($99.99), ‘Tis The Season ($49.99), and Merry & Bright ($25.99).
Each box comes with a curated mix of the brand’s hand-twisted pretzels, flavored salts, and gourmet dipping sauces, along with a holiday-themed sticker. Based in Boston and founded by a group of chefs, restaurateurs, and food-service professionals, Eastern Standard Provisions ships its heat-and-eat pretzels fresh to your doorstep and customers have the option of eating them right away or freezing them for later.
