Huntingdon offers all-local, customizable gift boxes this season

 In Entrepreneurship, Huntingdon County

Giving a gift to someone in Huntingdon County? Giving a local, personalized and thought-filled gift just got easier.

Huntingdon County Business & Industry, Inc. is teaming up with local businesses to offer Huntingdon for the Holidays — gift boxes filled with gifts and experiences from around the county.

The gift boxes are priced at $25, $50 and $100, and will be customized for each recipient based on answers provided from a questionnaire. The value of each box surpasses the cost of purchase.

Boxes include a variety of local goods that may include:

  • Holiday t-shirts
  • Candles, lotions and bath bombs
  • Wine and spirits
  • Chocolate
  • Jewelry
  • Ornaments
  • Ground Beef
  • Wing Sauces & BBQ Rubs
  • Coffee
  • Gift cards to local restaurants, shops, and attractions
  • And much more!

“I purchased a $50 box last year,” Huntingdon resident Kelly Culp said. “My intention was to give it as a gift, however, true to my personal nature…. I peeked in the box first. There were multiple things in the box that I wanted for myself. So, I ended up splitting up the contents. Some for gifts and some for ME. The value of the box was way over the price I paid, and I was introduced to some businesses in our area that I didn’t realize were out there. I learned my lesson; this year I will also get one for myself!”

Stephene Zitzler also purchased boxes last year. “I bought a box for my secret Santa from work, the babysitter, friends, and my husband. I love that they included all local goodies to support the small businesses around town. I will definitely be taking advantage of the boxes again this year to make my shopping a breeze.”

The Huntingdon for the Holidays boxes will be available starting on Saturday Nov. 26th at www.hcbi.com.
