Send Love, Send Flavor: Wrapping Up July the Wisconsin Way

Some things never go out of season: fireflies, cookies, and saying “I’m thinking of you.”

Whether it’s a birthday, retirement, college send-off, or just because, a handcrafted gift from Wisconsin says it better—and tastes better too.

As July winds down, now is the perfect time to stock up, send out, and make someone’s day the Wisconsin way.

Gifting Moments, Wisconsin-Style

Not sure what to send or why? Try these for starters:

“Happy Birthday! Sending you love and sausages!”

Brats, cheese, and cookies: way more exciting than a birthday card. Add a personalized note and let them know it came from the heart—and Wisconsin.

“Wishing you a sweet start to the school year!”

Back-to-school doesn’t have to mean boring. Cookies From Scratch + gourmet hot cocoa = a care package that tastes like home. Great for teachers, college students, or first-day-of-school nerves.

“Congrats on your retirement!”

Pair artisan cheeses, small-batch mustard, and locally made jam with a message that says: You’ve earned this.

“Just because you’re amazing.”

No occasion? No problem. Send a little Wisconsin sunshine with hand-dipped chocolates, kringle, or pickled snacks (for that tangy surprise they didn’t know they needed).

“Good luck on your next adventure.”

From job promotions to moving across the country, WisconsinMade gifts help make any milestone feel like a celebration.

What’s Inside a WisconsinMade Package?

Think locally made. Artisan curated. Family-recipe tested. Every item on WisconsinMade.com is hand-selected to represent the best of the Midwest.

Did you know Wisconsin produces over 600 types of cheese—more than any other state? 

Wisconsin is home to bakeries that still use century-old family cookie recipes, passed down from generation to generation.

And according to research published in the Current Directions in Psychological Science, surprise gifts spark stronger emotional reactions than expected ones—creating more joy, more gratitude, and a longer-lasting impression.  Science proves: the brain "goes crazy" for unexpected gifts!

So when you send a Wisconsin care package, you're not just giving snacks. You're delivering a mood boost.

Still Time to Soak Up Summer

There’s a special kind of light in late July. The air is thick with warm evenings, porch swings, and the last scoops of summer ice cream.

And if you’re lucky? You’ll spot a few fireflies in the backyard and hear the crackle of a grill not quite ready to call it quits.

Now’s the time to:

• Reconnect with someone you miss

• Celebrate someone who deserves it

• Say the thing you’ve been meaning to say—just with more cheese
