SPIRIT Almond Variety Gift Box

Spirit Almonds is my new gift to give! I love them so much!

Thank you for making everything so easy !

I loved these after trying the sampler and decided to order a variety box to gift. When the package didn’t arrive as expected and I noted it in a review, the owner immediately sent a replacement—this time with a protective outer box for shipping—and followed up via email, explaining that they use eco friendly packaging and would be making some changes based on my experience. I think I got a shipping notification for the replacement before he’d even had a chance to write me, and the website now has an option to include the protective outer box. This kind of customer service and quick incorporation of feedback is beyond rare nowadays and is a testament to how committed the owners are to a customer experience that’s as outstanding as the product.

In case you’re someone who’s reading this and asking if you really should pay this much for almonds, the answer is a resounding yes. The truth is that they’re so delicious that they’d be worth it even if the customer service were terrible (which it clearly isn’t). These are the perfect gift for foodie friends, vegetarians, anyone with a discerning palate, and those simply looking for a healthy snack without additives or tons of sugar (including my picky diabetic grandmother). Finally, as a traveling consultant who sometimes only has fast food or airport food as an option, I also appreciate the pre-portioned bags (although I wouldn’t say no to a bulk option). These will be a staple in my work bag moving forward and I’ll definitely use them as a hiking snack this summer.

These almonds are well worth the price, especially for the health conscious or anyone looking for a low-carb/low-sugar snack that doesn’t taste like cardboard or artificial sweeteners. Best of all, they are picky-eater approved: My fussy diabetic grandmother—who by the way has never even heard of miso or koji salt—usually complains that the foods she can eat don’t have any flavor. These are the only snack she hasn’t griped about. Every one of the flavors is delicious.

The company itself is a wonderful small business run by an owner who goes above and beyond for customers. I experienced weather-related package damage (soggy box) for a box I intended to gift and the owner immediately made it right after I noted the problem in a review (and found a way to avoid it for other customers/future orders by adding another packaging option to the order page). You’d be hard-pressed to find this kind of customer service and attention to detail with any product, let alone for snacks.
