Gourmet Christmas gift sets

Christmas gourmet gift set: our gift boxes

A La Mère Poulard Christmas gourmet gift set is an assortment of pure butter biscuits in a tin box that remains after the holidays. The recipes are the same all year round: shortbreads, palets, large galettes, petits beurres, made just a few kilometers from Mont-Saint-Michel.

Since 1888, the company has perpetuated Annette Poulard's recipes. Three ingredients: butter, eggs, flour.

What Christmas changes are two things: the format, because there are more guests, and the timing. This page helps with both.

In a few points

  • Tin boxes from 202.5 g to 1.045 kg, to choose according to the number of guests

  • Wheat flour grown in France, 14 to 24% butter depending on the recipe

  • No preservatives or artificial flavors, no palm oil

  • The tin box can be kept after the biscuits are shared

  • 48h delivery in France

  • Order before mid-December for a box to open on the 24th

 

Which box for which festive meal?

Depending on the number of guests

This is the crucial question, and it's settled by weight.

For a host gift, the one you bring on Christmas Eve in addition to wine, the half-tin box is suitable, weighing from 202.5 to 250 gdepending on the recipe: it is given upon arrival, shared with coffee, and the tin remains.

For a table of six to eight, two sizes are suitable. The tin box with a single biscuit weighs from 472.5 to 507.5 gdepending on the chosen biscuit. The 750 gassortment brings together three shortbreads and one palet. Both will last the entire evening.

For a large family meal, the large format assortment of 1.045 kgbrings together the four historic biscuits of the house: sablé, palet, large galette, and petit beurre. One shape per recipe, and everyone finds their favorite.

For several gifts to give at once, the 125 to 145 gsleeves allow you to offer one to everyone without repetition: eight sleeves are available, from plain shortbread to petit beurre.

Where to see the complete range

The details of each recipe and assortment are gathered on the biscuit boxespage.

For a table that prefers chocolate to biscuits, the chocolate boxespage brings together tablets with a salted caramel cream heart, truffles in a tin box, and orange florentines.

When to order?

Delivery is guaranteed in 48 hours in France. For a box to open on the 24th, it's better to order before mid-December: this allows for some leeway.

If the box goes directly to the recipient, simply provide their address when ordering. The box arrives ready to give.

The box that remains after the holidays

Once January is over, the Mythiqueor Collectorbox ends up on a shelf or in a cupboard, to store whatever you want. Some offer them, others keep them.

The sleeves and cardboard boxes serve another purpose: lighter, they are easy to carry, which is useful when visiting families.
