We chose to treat recipients to a flight of three different grades of maple syrup, which we sourced from Matthews Maple Syrup, a family-owned farm in Powassan, Ontario. Ranging from light to medium to amber, each of the syrups was custom bottled and labelled with names that reflect an aspect of Canadiana: Pure as the Song of a Voyageur (light), Smooth as the Shot of a Hockey Player (medium), and Burly as the Arms of a Lumberjack (amber).
Continuing the theme of Canadiana, all three syrups are nestled inside a bright red, specially designed box, featuring a subtle illustrated pattern of iconic images from a Canadian winter.
Thanks to precision measurement and cutting techniques, each bottle sits snugly inside its own slot in the custom-made box, held in place by the box’s label.
