Top 5 Foodie Favorites & Gourmet Food Gifts
1) Floral Lotus Tisane & Teapot
Transform the age-old ritual of making tea. These dried tea flowers are actual lotus buds sourced from a monastery on one of China’s holy mountains. Their golden honey aroma evolves into a subtle, more herbal taste and fragrance as you drink. This kit includes a beautiful glass teapot with a wire filter that lets you enjoy the aesthetics, and eight to twelve lotus flower tisanes (each good for up to two infusions).
2) Giant Cookie
These giant fortune cookies are fresh baked from natural ingredients, then hand-formed and dipped in chocolate. Add your own personlized fortune or be surprised with a general good fortune message.
3) Spring Themed Peanut Butter Cup - 6 Pack
These delicious spring-themed peanut butter cups are the perfect Easter gift. Made in the seaside town of Swampscott, MA with locally sourced ingredients, they come in packs of six and ready to share.
4) Spice Gallery Gift Set
Take dishes up a flavorful notch with an artisanal spice gift set. Essentials like sea salt and chilli flakes sit alongside out-of-the-ordinary spice blends (ever try lemon peel, sage, and bee pollen?). It’s all directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure purity and freshness, and the blends are unique to Curio Spice Co. A tea towel and handy recipe cards round out this perfectly giftable set.
5) 24 oz Pecan Gift Tin
Holiday Fried Pecans are flash-fried to make a sweet, salty, crunchy treat. Made in Louisiana from an old family recipe, you can eat them straight or on top of ice cream, salads, sweet potatoes and more.
