7 Fun Ways to Reveal a Pork Share Gift This Christmas

“You got me WHAT?!” — said with surprise, delight, and maybe just a little confusion. But once the realization hits, it’s all smiles (and maybe a few daydreams about bacon). 

Giving a pork share to a family member is more than just a gift — it’s a promise of delicious meals, full bellies, and memories made around the table.”

Why a Pork Share Makes the Perfect Family Gift

When it comes to gift-giving, finding something thoughtful, practical, and memorable can be tricky. But a pork share? It checks all the boxes. It’s not just another gadget that collects dust — it’s a gift that feeds their family, brings them together at the table, and makes them think of you every time they pull something tasty out of the freezer.

Instead of another sweater, you’re giving them bacon. Instead of socks, it’s slow-cooked pulled pork. And instead of another "thing," you’re giving them an experience they’ll enjoy for months to come.

If you’re ready to give the ultimate Christmas surprise, here’s how to make it extra special (and maybe a little unforgettable).

5 Ways to Present a Pork Share as a Family Gift

🐷 1. The “Family Meal Planner” Kit

This one’s all about setting the scene for how they’ll use their pork share. Wrap it up with everything they need to plan out their future pork-filled meals. This is the perfect idea for the mom who works so hard to get healthy meals on the table.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A cute meal planner notebook (or print a simple one)
• Sticky notes, recipe cards, or a small recipe binder
• A personalized note that says:
  “This little piggy is filling your freezer in [month/year]! Start planning your family meals — pork chops, pulled pork, bacon, and more are coming your way!”

How It Plays Out:
They open the meal planner, flip through it, and then find the big reveal: they’ve got a pork share reserved from Edwards Family Farms. It instantly connects the dots from “oh, cool, a notebook” to “wait… I’m getting fresh pork?!?”

🐷 2. The “Pork Treasure Hunt”

Why not turn gift-giving into an adventure? Send them on a hunt to “discover” their pork share.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Clue cards or riddles leading them to different spots around the house
• The final clue leads them to the fridge/freezer where you’ve hidden a printable voucher, pig figurine, or a bacon-themed note (or just the final card with the big announcement)
• A note that says:
  “You found it! Your pork share is coming straight from the farm in [month/year]. Prepare your tastebuds — it’s gonna be a wild ride.”

How It Plays Out:
Everyone gathers as the family member follows the clues, building excitement as they get closer to the final reveal. The last clue leads them to the freezer where they expect to find bacon… but instead, they find the announcement of their incoming pork share. The surprise factor is off the charts!

🐷 3. Bottle of BBQ Sauce with a Note

This one is simple, sleek, and straight to the point. Perfect if you want a minimalist, no-fuss presentation.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A bottle of local or homemade BBQ sauce (bonus points if it’s one of their favorites)
• Twine, ribbon, or a gift tag
• A tag that says:
  “Sauce is ready. Pork is growing. Feast arrives [month/year]!”

How It Plays Out:
They think they’re just getting BBQ sauce — thoughtful, but not jaw-dropping. Then they read the tag. You’ll get that “hold up, what does this mean?” moment, followed by a big smile when they realize fresh pork is on the way.

🐷 4. The “DIY Piggy Bank of Patience”

This option adds a playful touch with a nod to the fact that good things (like pasture-raised pork) take time.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A piggy bank (bonus if it’s a classic ceramic pig)
• Small slips of paper inside with “porky” hints, like:
  • “Bacon’s worth the wait.”
  • “Patience is a virtue… especially when it’s pasture-raised.”
  • “You’ve got a pork share reserved for [month/year]!”
• Tag or note that says:
  “Start saving your appetite! This piggy is working hard to fill your freezer in [month/year]!”

How It Plays Out:
They shake the piggy bank expecting coins, but when they pop it open, they find the slips of paper instead. They start reading through them, and suddenly it clicks — they’ve got a pork share on the way! Bonus points if you add coins with pig puns on them, like "bacon bucks" or "sausage cents."

🐷 5. The “Ode to Bacon” Gift Bag

If you want to add some humor and fun, lean into the bacon obsession we all have.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A gift bag filled with bacon-themed goodies like:
  • Bacon-scented candles (yes, they exist)
  • Bacon-themed socks, T-shirts, or stickers
  • There is even bacon wrapping paper!
  • A pig-themed Christmas ornament
  • A note that says:
    “You’ve got bacon on the brain… and soon you’ll have it in your freezer too. Your pork share is reserved and will be ready in [month/year]!”

How It Plays Out:
They laugh as they pull out the bacon-themed gifts one by one. And just when they think it’s over, they pull out the note at the bottom that reveals the true gift: an entire pork share. Suddenly, those bacon socks make a lot more sense.

🐷 6. Stocking Full of Pork

Turn their Christmas stocking into the ultimate pork-themed surprise!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A jumbo stocking (bigger = better)
• Pig-themed goodies like:
  • Bacon ornaments
  • Piggy plush or toy figurine
  • Pig-themed spatula, socks, or kitchen tools
  • Maybe even a pack of bacon-flavored snacks (for instant gratification)
• A note at the bottom of the stocking that says:
  “The real gift is in the freezer… well, it will be in [month/year]!”

How It Plays Out:
They pull out item after item, laughing at all the pig-themed goodies. When they get to the bottom of the stocking, they find the note that reveals the real gift — a pork share on the way from Edwards Family Farms. It’s unexpected, it’s quirky, and it’s guaranteed to be the most talked-about gift of the day.

🐷 7. The “Future Feasts” Kitchen Tool Gift Basket

Set them up for pork-cooking success with a basket of handy kitchen tools they’ll use for their upcoming pork share.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A woven gift basket or small crate
• Kitchen tools they’ll actually use, like:
  • Meat thermometer (for perfectly cooked pork chops)
  • Tongs (for flipping bacon and pulling pork)
  • A basting brush (for slathering on that BBQ sauce)
  • A spice rub or seasoning blend from Edwards Family Farms (for pork roasts or ribs)
  • A small meat cleaver or knife sharpener (because sharp knives = better cuts)
• A tag or card that says:
  “Everything you need to master your next pork feast — and the pork is on its way! Your farm-fresh pork share arrives in [month/year]. Get your kitchen ready!”

How It Plays Out:
They open the basket, thinking it’s just a nice kitchen-themed gift. As they pull out each item, they start to piece it together. Then they spot the tag with the big reveal — fresh pork is on the way, and they’ve got all the tools to cook it like a pro.

The Moment of Realization

Here’s what’s so fun about gifting a pork share — it’s not something people expect. Sure, they might guess "gift card" or "food subscription," but a pork share from a local farm? That’s next level.

With any of these ideas, you get to build that moment of realization. It’s the moment when their eyebrows raise, they gasp, and they say, “Wait… you got me PORK?!” And that’s when you smile and say, “Yep, farm-fresh pork, straight from Edwards Family Farms. You're welcome.”
