Enter to #WIN @TheSwissColony #Easter Family Treat Box, and Ham & Swiss Gift Assortment. 8 Lbs worth of Goodies. #Giveaway #Spon

Disclaimer:  I received product to facilitate a Review, and Giveaway is sponsored by The Swiss Colony.


The Swiss Colony is one of my all time favorite places for Meats, Cheeses, and Candy.  Seriously, there is something for every one there.  I thought why waste time on Easter Sunday preparing a meal, worrying about Candy.   When companies like The Swiss Colony can send all of this straight to your front door.

It's also easy to request a free  catalog from The Swiss Colony too, and drool over the selections (that's one of my favorite things to do.)  Or just check The Swiss Colony out online too (The Cheesecake makes me drool, every, single, time.) The Swiss Colony even makes Sugar Free, and Gluten Free treats.  

If you want to order, As long as you order 4/9 Standard you'll have it on time.  4/15 Expedited, and 4/16 Express.  

Whenever I think of Easter, I think of Jelly beans, Chocolate, and just sweets to snack on.  The Swiss Colony has a Easter Family Treats Gift Box that is full of something for everyone in the family. Below are just a few of my favorite treats that were in the Easter Themed Box that has little bunnies, and chicks on the outside.


The Bunny Shaped Gummi Rabbits were soft, and easy to chew.  Full of flavor.  Each color has it's own unique flavor. 


The Sugar Coated Jelly Rabbits, and Chicks were soo Good! They pulled apart easy when chewing, and just melted in my mouth. 


The Chocolate Malt balls I did not even want to share with the kids.  They were that good.  Once I bit into the crunchy candy outside, the layer of chocolate insde before the crunchy malt ball seriously were some of the best ones I've had, and they are pretty big.  Some I ate were at least an inch long.


The Popcorn was my son's favorite.  It Crunched, and wasn't too plain.  He's pretty picky about his popcorn, and he loved the Swiss Colonys. I tried some, and was yelled at by the 3 yr old that it was his.  So it must be good, when it's claimed.


Then we have the Salt Water Taffy.  Seriously, it's soft, stretches apart, and melts easily in your mouth.  Another one I did not want to share.  I did give some of these to my Dad that loves Salt Water Taffy too.  


The Chocolate Covered Peanuts made my top favorites too.  Everyone in my family tried a few of these, they were tempting by the Milk Chocolate outside, and they did melt, and taste delicious.  

I only listed a few of the treats in the box.  There are also pretzels, jelly beans, sixlets, and a Chocolate Easter Bunny.


My little Bubble Guppy lover helped me go through the box of Candy, and make baggies for Booty, Beck, and Sy.  


As you can see, she claimed as many Sixlets as she could for helping.  

Not only did we try the Easter Family Treats Gift Box, but we also pigged out on the The Swiss Colony Ham & Swiss Gift Assortment.  


The Swiss Colony Ham is boneless, and 3 lbs.  We cut it up, and used it for Breakfast for everyone. It fed a family of 8 adults, and 5 kids.  We even cut chunks to put into home made Mac & Cheese. The ham was not salty, which is what I really love.  I can't stand a lot of salt and was amazed at how juicy, and fresh the meat tasted.  Even my mom that is pretty picky about her Ham, loved this. She was eating slices faster than it could be cut.


The 2 lb Baby Swiss I cut into thin slices, even had the baby swiss small holes in a few sections,  when sliced thin it made a lot.  I filled a whole gallon ziplock bag.  We also ate it with the Ham slices, and we are using it for sandwiches.  The swiss itself is was more white and just a slight nutty, buttery stinky flavor just the way I like my swiss cheese.  It wasn't too stinky, but just enough that you know it's Swiss. 

One lucky follower has the chance to win The Swiss Colony Family Treat Box $39.95 and The Swiss Colony Ham & Swiss Gift Assortment $59.95.  That is over 8 lbs of Delicious, Easy Easter Meats, Cheese, and Snacks.  



Giveaway is open to U.S. Residents Only.  Begins 4/7, Ends 4/13.  Winner has 24 hours to reply to winning email, or Another winner is chosen at Random Via Rafflecopter.   Greenvics.com, and Blog Friends associate with this Giveaway are not responsible for prize fulfillment.  Prize is mailed directly from the Sponsor.  Good luck.

The Swiss Colony 82 All-Time Favorite Things Review, and Giveaway (Retail Value $129.95.)


Here are a few of my favorite things,
Life According To GreenVics 2013 Holiday Gift Guide.

The Swiss Colony 82 All-Time Favorites Food Gift Box. First I'd like to point out how fast shipping was. Came the same week it was ordered.  It's an impressive 10 lb. box full of cheeses, sausages, cookies, nuts, candies and jams.  The great thing about The Swiss Colony is that you can request a free catalog to browse at home by going [here]. 


Opening the Swiss Colony package was so much fun.  It was delivered in a red, and white box with The Swiss Colony written all over it.  My husband answered the door, and started screaming The Swiss Colony package is here!! My little one helped me open the box, and remove (pop the bubble wrap.) I was excited, and curious to how exactly 10 pounds of snacks like this were mailed.  


It was a bit overwhelming seeing all the snacks in the box.  However my son had no problem jumping right in.  He went straight for the Swiss Creme Cookie, and Old World Cookies.  They had no chance to even be photographed.  He does this thing.. where he sniffs things before he puts it to his nose.. Always.. every piece of food.. I guess if it passes his sniff test, it's good enough to eat.  He's two.. I try not to over analyze the logic behind a toddler.  I just know he ate it all on the spot, and didn't run around crazy playing with it.  


I attempted to take everything out of the box, and try to organize it.  There is so much that I had a hard time taking a photo of it all in the same frame.   I just wanted to dump it out, and roll around in it while calling it my precious.

What I really liked about this box is the fact I can make separate gifts, or I can just prepare a tray for guests.


Everything in me wanted to go straight for the sweets, but I decided to try the Summer Sausage, Cheddar Cheese, and Swiss & Ham Spread.  *Crackers not Included.  There is an abundance of meat, and cheese in this package that it's smart to buy boxes of your favorite crackers.


Let me just tell you.. it filled my snack craving! Loved the combo between the sausage, and cheeses.  The meat was moist, and cheese was smooth.  Seriously, best meat, and cheese holiday box ever.

I believe there is something in this 82 All-Time Favorites Box for everyone.  

There is also mini loafs of breads, and petite fours.  Even a Chocolate Holiday Mouse.  Oh? And, can't forget the chocolate covered butter toffee.


I send my Mom & Dad packages for the Holidays.  I know they like the snack on things too.  I know kits like these are more than just a one time use gift.  The 82 All-Time Favorites Box retails for $129.95, plus shipping & handling.  Last time I mailed something out of state, it cost me over $20.00, and I'm over the hassle of going to the post office, and worrying if my package is actually going to make it there on time, or at all.  I'd rather just find a gift box, and have it mailed to them from the company now.  Saves me time, and stress.

{ Giveaway } The Swiss Colony Sugar Free Holiday Tower Review & Giveaway

Whether you are diabetic, know someone that is diabetic or just someone that wishes to restrict their sugar intake The Swiss Colony has the perfect Sugar Free Holiday Tower for you! This tower retails for $39.95.

Included in the tower are:

  • Fruity Gels
  • Jelly Belly Jelly Beans
  • Cherry Cordials
  • Petit Fours
  • Salt Water Taffys


I enjoyed them all.  I couldn't even tell they were Sugar Free.  I watch my sugar intake, and I am guilty of taking Cinnamon Pills when I indulge a little too much on real sugar.  What I really like about this Holiday Tower are the cute individual boxed, and wrapped little packages.  There is something for whatever sweet treat mood I am in at the moment.  


At the very top of the tower were the Sugar Free Fruity Gels.  I thought, wow! What trickery! These taste so sweet.  


Next were the Sugar Free Cherry Cordials.  I will admit, these are my favorites out of the whole tower.  Everything tasted GREAT, but I am a big fan of Chocolate Covered cherries, and the cherry is just mouth watering along w/the sugar free chocolate.  The liquid is clear inside too.  I'm not a fan of the "white filling" on some chocolate covered cherries so I was pleased to see these had the clear!! 


Beneath the Cordials are the Individual wrapped Sugar Free Assorted Jelly Belly Jelly bean flavors! I didn't even know Jelly Belly had sugar free jelly beans! Of course these were all delicious. Love, Love, Love, LOVE Jelly Belly.  As you can tell by my posts that I am a fan of items that have an assortment of things/flavors! This isn't a "big" tower, but it is big on flavor, and assortment.


Then comes the Sugar Free Salt Water Taffy.  These were my 2nd favorite after the Cherry Cordials.  The taffy is soft, stretchy, sweet, and everything Taffy should be.  I'm a sucker for good taffy.  Sometimes I go to local sweet festivals just for the fresh made salt water taffy.


Finally, but not forgotten in the least are the Petit Fours.  They come in a cute tin.  I love these things. They are like a mix between a petite 4 layered cake. Sinfully sweet, and yet Sugar free.

The tower arrived in a Red/White The Swiss Colony box.  The packing itself was quit impressive.  All the gift boxes were arranged together already. All I did was pull the tower out the box, and it was set up for me.

The Swiss Colony has been making Gifts since 1927. Including Cheeses, spreads, specialty meats, chocolates, award-winning butter toffee, cakes, tortes, kringles, brownies, candy, cookies, Gluten Free, and Sugar Free items!


I received these samples for free to review.  One lucky follower will also win a Sugar Free Holiday Tower too! U.S. Residents Only.  Giveaway begins 12/6/2012, and ends 12/13/2012.  Winner is chosen at random via Raffle Copter. Prize Value is $39.95. Winner has 24 hours to verify winning email.
