I’ve got some special gifts I’d love to share with you, including links to these delightful appetizer recipes which you’ll find at the end of this post. 🙂
This Holiday Gift Guide is filled with products from very special companies and artists that I completely adore – companies and artisans with integrity in their products and their mission.
Maybe you’re looking for that special gift for that special someone or for family members that seem to stump the gift giving every year. I’m certain you’ll love one or more of these unique gift ideas that won’t break the bank but will warm the loved one’s heart.
I don’t know about you but I love Little Lace Box delivery day. The excitement that wells up inside of me when I see that red little box on my door step is literally overwhelming.
Little lace box is dedicated to seeking out only the most talented and creative up-and-coming designers, whose products might not have even hit the market yet. This year you can choose to “gift” your box to whoever you choose at any time during the year. This creates an easy and fun way to remember birthdays, holidays, special occasions or just because moments.
Not only can you subscribe to the gift box but Little Lace Box also hosts my Karista’s Kitchen store. We carry a gorgeous line of products on the website that are carefully curated for our customers from new designers and artisans. Truly the unique and special gift for that special someone.
For the food lover or home chef in your life, I have two food companies that provide the perfect food gifts to give.
Barn2Door is a marketplace to help consumers purchase clean, sustainable, local and regional food. This is a company near and dear to my heart. As a culinary professional with time spent in nutrition, I can’t advocate enough for local, clean, healthy food.
Barn2Door makes it easier to find local growers and food from your area, or specialty foods from other regions that ship directly to you, the consumer. It’s truly a win-win for everyone – supporting our local farmers and food artisans and preparing healthy food for our family.
I’ve been a fan of Jovial foods for many years now. I bake with Einkorn flour and I use many of their pasta products in my recipes. Jovial has created this lovely Einkorn baking gift set that is the perfect gift for the home chef in your life. If you’d like to read more about the Einkorn cookbook and flour, check out my book review here.
If fine art is what you’re looking for, look no further. A dear friend, who happens to be one of the most talented artists I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, has an Etsy shop filled with her gorgeous prints. Krystyna has an impressive resume and has sold her paintings and commissioned work all over the world. I feel so lucky to own four of her prints, proudly displayed in my home.
Another friend of mine, Jim O’Donnell, is an experienced and amazing travel photographer, writer and archeologist. He also has a lovely collection of photography prints that makes me swoon every time I see them. Jim writes a fabulous travel and photography blog Around the World in Eighty Years. You won’t want to miss it! Jim O’Donnell prints make a perfect gift for the photography enthusiast, or for someone who is a connoisseur of photographic art.
Now I’m hungry and I want to go shopping. 🙂
Happy gift giving!
