Experience the Twin Cities Offers Minnesota Gift Boxes with Twin Cities Delivery by Santa Claus

Experience the Twin Cities is now offering its unique holiday gift option of locally-curated gift boxes delivered locally by Santa Claus via the colorful Experience the Twin Cities bus. This year the company is offering a selection of five gift boxes, with options for any age and relationship. Santa Claus will deliver the gift box within a 20-mile radius of the Twin Cities.

The gift boxes are curated with goods from local businesses, including The Cookie Store, North Mallow, Annie B.’s Candy, NorthMade Co., We Are Nuts, and more. The children box, Armful of Hugs, comes with a Minnesota activity book, vinyl sticker, Santa cookie, and hot cocoa bomb. The MinneSNOWta box offers to warm hearts with a knit hat from Northern Print Co., chocolates from Abdallah Candies, mittens, a hot cocoa kit, and more. Other gift box options include the Sota Vibes gift box and two sizes of the deluxe Season of Joy gift box. Prices range from $40 to $99, with local Santa delivery included for free. Nationwide shipping and customized corporate orders are also available.

Season of Joy

Experience the Twin Cities has been in business for ten years and is typically known for its guided specialty tours to local breweries, wineries, restaurants, and more. When tours were cancelled last year due to COVID-19 restrictions, the company developed the gift box offerings as a special way for Minnesotans to support and enjoy local businesses from home.

“We had so much fun delivering these gift boxes last year, we made it bigger and better this year with more local brands involved and more gift box options,” said Rebecca Pfeiffer, owner of Experience the Twin Cities. “The Santa delivery really gives it a special touch. It’s quite a scene when we pull into a neighborhood with our colorful bus and Santa Claus at the wheel. It has also appealed to businesses who are trying to stay connected to their work-from-home employees. We’re happy to be part of that connection and deliver a fantastic gift box with Minnesota goodies in the process.”

Experience the Twin Cities gift box offerings are available through their website. The company is also offering a variety of festive tours through the holiday season. Follow them on Facebook.
