Christmastime has come again! As most of you know, this is our favorite time of year here at Dutch Country General Store. We are once again able to bring you all the gifts and goodies you expect that will help make your family gatherings and celebrations just a little brighter. After a strange and complicated Christmas of 2020, all of our time together this Christmas will be even better and a little more special.

We are excited to share that to kick off the holiday season, we just mailed out our 2021 Holiday Gift Guide, and we’d love to give you a sneak peek of what’s inside.

As you look through the pages in our 2021 Holiday Gift Guide, we encourage you to pick out a few items that will bring you and your family some added joy this Christmas. Our team always puts so much work into our catalogs and into shipping orders to you - so we hope you find something you’ll love.

Dutch Country Favorites

In the first few pages of the catalog, you’ll find an assortment of favorites and great gift items from Levi and all of us here at Dutch Country. First, 19 items Levi loves including a 1955 Chevy Stepside Pickup Pullback. It may be a toy, but it's just as much fun for adults as it is for children! Next, you’ll find stocking stuffers, where we feature items we know will fit perfectly inside all your stockings this holiday season. We recommend an all-around customer favorite, Tiny Sampler Jams. At only $1.99, they’re perfect for everyone on your list! We follow that up with a variety of gift ideas and gift sets that we know are sure to please!

Our Holiday Entertaining spread breaks down a few must-have meal essentials. These items are top sellers here at Dutch Country General Store and make a great asset to any meal. From appetizers to sweet treats to meal items, and even kitchenwares to serve all your favorites, we’ve got you covered!

Catalog Spread - Holiday Entertaining

Old-Fashioned Candy and Sweet Treats

Pages 10 - 18 are filled with old-fashioned candy and sweet treats. Pages 12-14 are especially exciting as they feature our new line of Hammond’s candy - oversized lollipops, candy bars, handmade marshmallows, pantry candy tins, taffy, and candy ribbon. You will definitely want to try these old-fashioned favorites while they’re around for the holiday season.

On page 15 you’ll learn all about the traditional Peppermint Pig. They come with a hammer and pouch - choose from two styles 8oz. Noel or 16oz. Clarence. Often a pig represents good health, happiness, and prosperity, especially in Victorian culture. It is filled with peppermint candy very similar to a delicious candy cane. Back in the “olden days” when families gathered together at Christmas for the holiday meal, the tradition was to break the Peppermint Pig™ after dinner (inside a small cloth pouch) using a miniature hammer. All family members would then share in eating the sweet candy pieces, hoping for good fortune in the coming year. We love the idea of sharing this treat with friends and family and hope you will too!
