Happy Holidays

Before anything else: thank you!

Whether you found From Lex’s Pantry at a market, cooked with a favourite blend all year, gifted one to a friend, or just quietly followed along, you helped keep our artisanal, Canadian, passion & resilience-built, spice business going strong.

Staying on this very occasional email list means a lot too – you’ll only hear from us once or twice a year, and you chose to stick around. That means so much. Thank you.

Now, onto the updates!

 Holiday shopping deadlines (so nothing gets missed)

If you’re still shopping or planning pickups, here’s the quick version:

• Shipping cutoffs: are NOW. Order today timing is tight already (my bad for not emailing you sooner!)
• Local pickup: Pickup pauses December 20 and resumes January 4, so orders need to be placed before the 18th if pickup is your go-to.

All dates, cutoffs, and truly last-minute options (including digital gifts) are laid out clearly on the Holiday Shipping + Pickup Schedule page.

 Markets: last of the year, first of the new one.

Want to look at everything, sample, and talk food?

• Last market of 2025: Saturday, December 20, 10-2pm at Allan Gardens
• First market of 2026: Saturday, January 10, 10-2pm at Allan Gardens

You can also order online and choose Allan Gardens pickup on those dates — fast, easy, no extra holiday chaos.

 Digital gifting (last-minute, zero stress)

Need a thoughtful gift without shipping stress?

• From Lex’s Pantry digital gift cards — $10–$200, delivered instantly
• GlowUp sponsorships in someone’s name — dedicate one to a kid, partner, friend, favourite market, your own business… or yourself ($5–$2000) .It’s flavour + impact, and some tiers even put their name right on the package.

 The GlowUp Campaign: sponsor your favourite spice

This is a big one for us.

Our Sponsor Your Spice GlowUp campaign is live, and we’re over 19% of the way there with support from folks just like you. But we could use a little more boost! Design work starts in January and if all goes to plan you'll see the new packaging will start rolling out in April 2026

By being a part of our GlowUp crowdfunding campaign, you’re helping us move to pre-printed packaging — which:

• Keeps prices steady: Helps us absorb packaging and design costs so we can keep our blends at the same prices you’ve seen for the last 3years.
• Saves 2–6 hours a week: Less time stickering bags = more time inventing fantastic new flavours and recipes.
• Cuts waste: Preprinted bags mean fewer misprints, fewer tossed labels, and smarter use of materials.
• Backs local, small & Canadian: Every pledge is a direct boost to a small, independent Canadian food business that has lasted, with your support, for 3 years so far!

Sponsorship levels start at the “coffee club” & "birthday beer" tiers, just $5 & 10 respectively. The full Spice Sponsor tiers get you free spices, discounts, early access to news blends and even your name, face, website — or a favourite market, business, or organisation — on the new packaging.

If you’ve been meaning to “get around to it,” this is your nudge. You can back the GlowUp on its own, or roll it into your holiday gifting by dedicating a perk in someone’s name. More info from one of our Sponsors!

It’s crowdfunding, but make it delicious and practical.

 New blends you may have missed (plus seasonal favourites)

If it's been a while since you've seen us in person or visited the site, here are some of the new flavours we're sharing:

• Sunday Stuffing — cozy, savory, not just for stuffing
• Minty Mischief Sugar — tastes like a candy cane (it makes hot chocolate magic)
• Garlic Fire — spicy, bold, already a best seller
• Lakeview Garlic — zero heat, tons of garlic
• Herbes de Provence — classic, fragrant, endlessly useful
• Eggnog Sugar (seasonal) — yes, it really tastes like eggnog

Everything’s online with ingredients, options, and availability.

Thank you again for supporting local, shopping small, and letting my blends be part of your kitchen. Wishing you a calm, flavour-packed holiday season and a very tasty 2026.

With gratitude (and garlic),
Lex & Gerry
