Top 5 Foodie Favorites & Gourmet Food Gifts
1) Indian Tea & Decorative Tin Gift Box

Vahdam Teas: Indian Tea & Decorative Tin Gift Box - Assorted Chai Tea Blends (3 Tins)
2) Contemporary Cotton Oven Gloves

The Organic Company: Contemporary Cotton Oven Gloves - Morning Gray
3) Ceramic Rice Cooker

This ceramic rice cooker makes a delicious pot of rice every time. Cordless and compact, it boils on the stove for a few minutes and retains heat as it simmers and sits. Its lid ensures water won’t boil over, while condensation drips down to prevent freshly cooked rice from drying out.
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) Mental Acuity Tea

An all-natural tea that provides productive energy, mental clarity, and focus without the typical jitters and headache one experiences from coffee and energy drinks.
