PtboCanada's 11th Day Of Christmas: BBQing at Firehouse Gourmet

/

With Christmas just around the corner, it doesn't have to be expensive or difficult to find a unique little something for that special someone. To help you find a gift, here is PTBOCanada's 12 Days of Christmas - 12 Local Gifts for $20 and under.

It's pretty easy to get two gifts from Firehouse Gourmet, as there are a fair amount of sauces that are under $10. David and Anna wanted to feature their own Firehouse Gourmet Kawartha Critter Sauce ($8.95) and The Squeal Hog Rub ($7.60).

Firehouse Gourmet is at 73 Hunter Street East, and is open Monday to Friday 10 to 6, Saturday 10 to 5 and Sunday 11 to 4.
