My love for popcorn tins dates back to college, when my parents sent me one every semester during finals week, as if college wasn't already a 24/7 gorge-fest of fast food and dubious cafeteria fare. Everyone in my hall would come over and we'd sit around eating cheddar popcorn, confessing stuff, and promising to be best friends for life, which we still are, or maybe that was just something I saw on Felicity.

Regardless, everyone loves giving and getting popcorn tins because they're the greatest food gift on earth. Forget fruit on sticks, haute collard greens, and crates of fancy pears. Popcorn tins are aluminum vessels of joy. They're decadently large but light enough to carry anywhere. They double as ottomans, and whenever you hold one you're giving it a little hug.
Recently I realized that I hadn&#;t gotten a popcorn tin in a while. Concerned about the state of the greatest food gift on earth, I did some research. Don&#;t worry: popcorn tins are still a thing. There&#;s one for every occasion and every stereotypical relative those gift guides can think up. Here are our suggestions:

Heao Printing supply professional and honest service.
Popcorn Factory&#;s vice president and general manager John Schifferdecker promised me that his popcorn was &#;something you can overindulge in and still walk away feeling guiltless.&#; After trying about six different kinds, including white chocolate peppermint, cinnamon, and jalapeño, I&#;m not sure &#;guiltless&#; is the right word, but who&#;s fault is that, really? The Popcorn Factory doesn&#;t win any gourmet food awards, but it makes up for it in options (pass the Jelly Bean cornfetti!) and beautiful designs that your cousin will display proudly next to her #greeklife accessories.

Garrett, which started in Chicago in , may very well be the oldest popcorn tin in America. People started buying the cheddar and the caramel flavors and mixing them together. Sweet + savory isn&#;t rocket science, but Garrett&#;s version is a revelation. There's something about the thick layer of cheddar that coats your fingers after a couple handfuls. The striped tin is business on the outside, party on the inside, just like your dad's impression of himself.
