Modern gift baskets you have to taste to believe — new from Babe & Butcher in Charlotte
Since opening in 2019, Babe & Butcher has brought Charlotte inventive and Instagram-worthy charcuterie boards. It introduced a storefront in Camp North End in 2021 making it more convenient for customers to consume its sweet and salty combos. Now, owner Lindsay Anvik is continuing on her creative quest by bringing the Queen City reinvented gift baskets.
Starting today, customers can order one of Babe & Butcher’s newly launched gift baskets — ideal for a holiday, baby shower, host gift or even just a little self-love.
“Traditionally we all know the shrink wrapped basket. It has pre-packaged biscuits in it, and you don’t know if they’ve been on the shelf for 2 days or 20 years,” Anvik said. “I wanted to create something the recipient would dive right into and enjoy. I wanted to fill it with fresh flowers and greenery. I wanted it to rewrite the concept of gift baskets and modernize it.”
