If you want to send a wedding gift that speaks more to the romance of marriage than the practical aspects of setting up a home, this might be the right thing.

We’ll send a simple, romantic, rustic Italian dinner. This gift boxed set includes Italian Pasta and Il Mongetto Tomato Sauce, our Paesano Bread, Zingerman’s Travel Oil, a couple of Magic brownies for dessert and a candle to set the mood.

The ingredients are simple, but each is the best I've tasted of its kind. They kind of highlight why pasta with tomato sauce is such a big deal in Italy and why people there return to it again and again for regular meals. It doesn't take a lot of kitchen skill to put this dinner together but it's guaranteed to taste amazing.

This is a great all-purpose gift, built from foods the recipient can snack on right out of the box. Whatever the occasion, folks will dig right in.

The Weekender. Illustrated. Whatever the reason, folks will dig into this colorful cartooned gift box filled with loaf of Zingerman’s Artisan Bread, a tin of Spiced Pecans, a couple of Brownies (walnut-studded Magic Brownie and a Pecan Blondie), John Macy’s Cheesesticks, a small jar each of Italian Honey Honey and Preserves and a nosher-sized version of our extremely popular, extremely good Sourcream Coffeecake.

The Long Weekender, packed in a big handsome wooden crate, includes all the items in the Weekender plus Zingerman’s freshly roasted Coffee, Koeze Cream-Nut Peanut Butter, Zingerman’s Macaroons, Smooch Lion Natural Gummis, and a loaf of Chocolate Sourdough Bread.
