SP Holiday Gift Guide: Victoria’s Fancy Foods

Looking for the perfect gift for someone on your shopping list this holiday season? Patch can help.

For the next few weeks, Severna Park Patch will visit local shops and business to find out what items they are offering to holiday shoppers looking to save, spend or splurge on gifts.

Today’s gift ideas come from Victoria’s Fancy Foods, located at 350 Ritchie Highway.

Victoria’s Fancy Food is a local shop consisting of gourmet foods and a wide selection of wines. Owner, Victoria Stagmer likes to remind people that “the gift of food is always in good taste.”

The store offers a variety of made-up gift baskets, but Stagmer will also custom make any kind of basket you want.

“We don’t have cookie cutter gift baskets,” Stagmer said. “We make them for each person’s individual needs and they can all be customized. If you come in and tell me you want a $12 basket, I will make you a $12 basket.”

Stagmer also said you can tell her what kind of tastes the basket-receiver has and she can construct the perfect present around that.

For those looking for gift items, here are some samples of what Victoria’s Fancy Foods has to offer.
