I stumbled upon a table of delicious chocolates at a Yelp Elite party and was offered a sample of the best chocolate I’d ever tasted – Cocolico’s Vanilla Salt Caramels. As I savoured every bite, I was offered more samples of CocoaNymph’s Sea Nymph which is a dark chocolate bar with fleur de sel and toffee, Gone Crackers, Skeet & Ikes Popcorn, and more.

My intuition is tied to my tummy and knew that I wanted to get to know whoever hand picked these local products. That’s how I met Saul Brown, the owner and Chief Story Officer of Saul Good Gift Co. I kept sampling as Saul tells me how Heather Nichol’s friends kept telling her how great her crackers were and she went ahead and turned her Gone Crackers company into a successful business. You can tell thru his stories that he genuinely took the time to get to know each of the talented artisans.

Saul is breathing new life into corporate gift baskets by hand selecting delicious gift items that people actually want. His business supports talented local Canadian artisans by telling their stories, helps the environment and negative impacts of consumerism by using paper shreds from a local printing company and 100% recycled gift boxes.

To run a business in which you bring a smile to anybody receiving the gifts, connect and promote local businesses, AND keep mother nature happy? Saul really is doing good. It’s Saul Good!
