What and When is Teacher Appreciation Week? Teacher Appreciation Week is a week-long celebration of teachers in the US, typically falling in the first full week of May. Students, parents, and the community express gratitude and recognition for their favorite scholarly guides and their hard work and dedication. This year it runs from May 5th through May 9th . Why Is It Important? Recognition for hard work and dedication is something we all value, and teachers deserve this more than anyone. They are truly the unsung heroes of our community. They face challenging environments, juggle demanding schedules, and manage responsibilities that far outweigh their compensation. Let’s face it, the pay does NOT equal the job! These wonderful warriors rise above it all with their dedication, determination, and hearts, producing miraculous feats with what materials they have. (For real, they might be angels walking amongst us!)   Teacher Appreciation Week is more than just saying thank you—it is a reminder of the incredible connection between students, parents, teachers, and the entire community.

If you have an Instagram account, then we’re sure you’ve seen (i.e.: gawked, saved, drooled) over the hottest new trend to hit the charcuterie scene—Graze Tables! A Graze Table is a perfectly curated tablescape filled with artfully arranged meats, cheeses, spreads, crudité, seasonal fruits, flowers, and decorations. Think of it as an extensive charcuterie board, or a more relaxed option for you and your guests to mingle without the stress of preparing and cooking an entire meal. Alongside being absolutely delicious, Graze Tables can serve as the backdrop for meaningful occasions, conversations, and laughs. You know how the saying goes, “Nothing brings people together like good food!” and after this past year, who isn’t excited to get together and catch up with the ones who mean the most? Things to consider when booking a Graze Table: Where? The set-up location is one of the most important and first things you should decide on. During the summer months of June-September, we require the set up to be inside. This Texas heat shows no mercy and grilled cheese is not on our menu! Pro tip: opt for areas with plenty of room to ensure your guests can graze from every side of the table. When? Is this a brunch table or an evening get-together? The reason we ask is because we offer different spreads for different occasions. For example, our Brunch Graze Table can include anything from chicken and waffle skewers to bagel & lox to pastries and a mimosa bar. (Psst…wipe your mouth, you’re drooling) Who? Who’s attending? Are children expected to be at your event? We have fun options that we can include, like “Kidcuterie”, that comes with offerings such as colby jack, goldfish crackers, yogurt pretzels, veggie straws, and half-cut grapes and blueberries. Are some of your guests more comfortable with an individual graze option? If so, we offer party flavor individual boxes, charcuterie cones, or wine glass graze that they can grab and go. What? In addition to cheeses, charcuterie, olives, cornichons, dips, spreads, fresh and dried fruits, nuts, honey, jams, fruit pastries, breads, crackers, and breadsticks, we can add on additional flavors such as our Sweets Board with custom treats for your guests! Plus, did you know that we can accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan requests? Why? Tell us your occasion, share the invite, or inspiration board and we can tastefully incorporate the theme into the tablescape décor. Our grazing tables are the perfect addition to add color, elegance and a touch of sophistication to any party. Are you opting for a more formal event? The style and configuration can include display elements such as candles, marble boards, wooden boards and service items that compliment your event theme. We provide basic greenery and florals with each graze, and professional floral arrangements can be added. Needing some inspiration on when to book your Graze Table? Here are some occasions where it’s a quintessential option: Day of Wedding: bridal and/or groom suite while getting ready Baby Showers Birthdays Anniversaries House Warming Business Openings Graduations Baptism/Communions Holiday Parties At Gifts of Graze, we make booking easy — simply contact us directly at hello@giftsofgraze.com so we can get some basic information and then we’ll provide a custom quote.

Cheese Chicks: /chEEz/ “CHIKS” A group of female-owned charcuterie business owners who have formed a strong connection via social media through their shared love of entrepreneurship, cheese, and wine. They believe in collaboration over competition. Established in 2020. Nedine | Natalie | Kelsey This past January, the Cheese Chicks wanted to escape the cold weather and take a vacation. When Natalie from Amazing Graze Co offered to show us around her city of Miami, Florida, how could we say no?! It was such a surreal experience because although we talk to each other every day online, we had never met in person before this girl’s getaway. It was such a treat to hug and squeeze the girls who have been there for me for the past two years, whether I needed a quick brainstorming session, business advice, or just a chat with a friend in the industry! The trip was everything we could have hoped for and Miami served us well! We laughed, we hugged, and of course, we cheesed it up. We shared our dreams and business goals, we strategized, encouraged, empowered, and we lifted each other up. Our itinerary included relaxing beach trips complete with umbrellas, loungers, and cabana service, we walked the sands and shops of South Beach, and indulged in delicious cuisine & celebratory champagne! While the 3 days went by far too fast, it truly solidified our relationships and made us appreciate this wonderful community even more. We missed our other “cheese sisters” who couldn’t make it, but we promised to meet up again soon. Maybe I should get a head start on planning the next trip, perhaps the other 9 chicks can head to Dallas later this year? Ladies, what do you think? Until next time,

Engagement and bridal and baby showers, oh my! It’s no secret that April is shower season—and for good reason. Here in Texas, the bluebonnets are blooming, birds are chirping, and the weather averages at a sunny 75 degrees! Shower season really entails everything from baby to bridal and everything in between. It’s my favorite season as a charcuterie business owner because I get to be inventive with my graze offerings to fit each shower theme and aesthetic. Plus, the perfect weather allows for indoor and outdoor setup options. Do you have the privilege of being the Maid of Honor? Is your best friend having a baby? Are you wanting to host a surprise engagement party for your life-long friend? If you answered yes to any of the above, here are my top 3 tips to help your shower be a success: 1. Have a final headcount of attendees prior to placing your Gifts of Graze order. Hostess rule #1, don’t let your guests leave hungry! Having the final headcount will allow our team to curate an ideal spread for your attendees. 2. Be aware of timing. Hosting an 11:00 am shower? Guests will come hungry expecting a heavier brunch offering. Hosting at 2:00 pm? Attendees will have already eaten lunch, so food offerings should only include light bites and refreshments. 3. Have fun! Hosting can be overwhelming. Prep what you can prior to the shower so the day of is as stressless as possible. When your guests arrive sit back, relax, and enjoy the party! The dishes can wait. Place your Gifts of Graze order today !

Celebrate Mother's Day with Heartfelt Gifts and Joyful Moments There are so many different types of moms out there – mamas with kids, mamas without mamas, single mamas, women trying to become mamas, mamas with angel babies, surrogate mamas, fur baby mamas, and so many more! This can be a day of joy and special time spent with family or an unsettling reminder of the heartache of a hurtful memory or a hole in our hearts remembering a mama. I send love and empathy to everyone on this holiday, no matter your circumstance. This Mother’s Day, I am forever grateful that I get to spend it with my son and my sweet mom. My mama is the queen of my heart and I’d like to think I’m the queen of my son’s heart too! Our ideal Mother’s Day would go something like this.. – Wake up & make lemon ricotta pancakes, which are my mom’s favorite, while my son makes the eggs and then we all enjoy it together with mimosas in hand! – My son and I would then head to the local movie theater to see the latest Marvel movie with a bucket of popcorn! And don’t tell anyone, but sometimes my son will still hold my hand in the movies (shhhhh!). – As for my mama, she has a natural green thumb, so walking around the arboretum, local botanical garden, or even our local nursery is our favorite way to enjoy quality time together. While I don’t have her Mother Nature abilities, I do, however, love to create floral arrangements and decorate the house with spring and floral touches. How would your perfect Mother’s Day go? Sending you all love on this very special day. Happy Mother’s Day!
