A Few of our Favorite Things

At Hillis & Company, we are known for artfully combining our favorite things in gift basket presentations that delight and inspire. We travel and taste from coast to coast in an effort to bring you the hand selected offerings you see here, and we guarantee that if we list it we’ve tried it, and most importantly – we love it!

Our offerings are constantly evolving, and as always may be custom designed to meet your own unique specifications. Our bountiful and tasteful baskets are available in a variety of price points. Call today to put your gift giving needs in our hands.

Dessert Sauces
Our friends Jacky and Michael Recchiuti have created the most decadent dessert sauces we have ever tasted. The Burnt Caramel Sauce has an intense, smoky flavor with a lingering, buttery finish. The Extra-Bitter Chocolate Sauce has strong roasted cacao and Tahitian vanilla flavors with a deep smoky finish. We offer them together because they compliment one another so well. Set of two $25

Studiopatró Tea Towels
San Francisco graphic designer Chris Weber has created a great line of linen/cotton dish towels. We’ve picked our favorites, but don’t limit them to just dishes. They make great art, gift wrap, napkins, or an excellent gift! Whatever... just use and enjoy! Set of two botanical printed towels $42

Our Perennial Favorites
These are always a lasting favorite. Choose from ivy topiaries, assorted blossoming plants and gorgeous orchids. Each arrives in a terra cotta pot and is topped with fresh green moss. Starting at $35
