12 Days of Chukar

 

Traveling can be one of the most stressful parts of the holidays, but here are a few easy tips for making your trips a little more enjoyable.

Problem: Traveling with gifts

Countless gifts are broken during long flights and car rides and over weight bags can mean large fines for air travelers.

Solution: Pack travel-friendly gifts and ship the rest

Avoid carrying large, fragile gifts when traveling. Instead, bring gifts that fit easily into your luggage and ship the rest. Our Original Assortment and 8 oz Chocolates pack easily into both checked and carry-on size luggage and won’t weigh you down. Right now, we’re taking advantage of Free Shipping on Chukar’s Sumptuous Assortment and $4.95 shipping on orders over $75.00 (which ends 12/15!!) to make sure our larger gifts arrive safely.

Problem: Jet lag

Many of us travel cross country to see family this holiday season, and we don’t want jet lag to ruin the visit.

 Solution: Dried cherries! 

In 2007, the New York Times published this article describing how to use dried cherries to fight jet lag. With no added sugar and no sulfites to cause headaches and fatigue, our Bing, Rainier and Totally Tarts fit the bill perfectly.

Problem: Junk food at the airport and on the road

   Travelling nowadays is virtually synonymous with fast-food dinners and snacking on junk food.

Solution: Wholesome snacks

To avoid unhealthy eating, we always bring along some healthy, satisfying snacks like our Nuts over Bing, Berry and Pistachio and Triple Cherry Nut mixes. They’re high in fiber and protein, meaning they’ll fill you up while giving you a boost of energy.
