Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) 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.
2) Bread Wrap

Use the warmth of your hands to mold the Bee's Wrap around bread or around the top of a large bowl or dish. The antibacterial properties of the beeswax and jojoba oil help to keep food fresh.
3) Maple Cream

Wood's Vermont Syrup Co.: Maple Cream
4) Cregg 2-in-1 Egg Cup Cutter

A doubly useful egg topper. Cregg can cut the top off soft-or medium-boiled eggs, and then can serve as an egg cup when you’re ready to eat. Made in Germany.
5) Silicone Storage Bag

This reusable silicone bag cuts down on waste by replacing throwaway plastic baggies. Each is completely plastic-free, and seals up to keep food fresh. Eco-friendly, too, the bag is lunch box-ready, and can go from the pantry into the freezer, microwave, or dishwasher without worry. Is there anything this mighty bag can’t do? Well, it won’t break down like plastic does—or get tossed away.
