Want to bring a thoughtful gift to food-loving hosts who say "don't bring anything - just yourself"? Instead of - or in addition to - a bottle of wine, consider giving a food-related gift. Bargains are aplenty at Cost Plus and Trader Joe's, however, here are my favorite splurges for gifts:
1) A lovely bottle of
extra virgin cold-pressed olive oil
2) An herbed sea salt or set of sea salts - a set or one for meat, another for fish (
Williams-Sonoma,
Dean and Deluca)
3) Locally made dark chocolate (
Recchiuti's Feve is a traffic-stopping, stunningly delicious choice)
4) Beautiful locally made soap and hand lotion set (try this fancy olive oil based set by
Oliviers & Co.)
5) Last, but certainly not least, homemade goodies that you made yourself*
* This year, we made lavender sea salt giveaways with lavender that we grow in our garden (half lavender, half sea salt blended together). You could do the same with dried herbs or spices. Check out my recipes for a delicious homemade spice mix that's a snap to whip up.
What are YOUR favorite thoughtful food-related gifts to give? What's the story behind it? I'd love to know - please share it in the comments.
All the best,
Sandra
