Food-Related Gift Ideas

ePare' Manual Coffee Grinder

ePare' Manual Coffee Grinder

This elegant grinder breaks down coffee beans at varying levels. Place them in the hopper and crank. The bottom gripper holds it in place. The glass bowl fits securely and unscrews without much force. It takes about 1-minute to clean. I didn’t think I needed one until I received this. I’m a fan.

Retail price: $49.95
Size: 6 ¾” x 3 ½”
Available: www.epare.com
Discount code: EPARE10 for 10% off

 

Laconiko Olive Oil and Balsamic Gift Set

Laconiko Olive Oil and Balsamic Customized Sample Gift Box

 Run, don’t walk to purchase this gift box for yourself. I highly recommend getting the Lemon Cucumber White Balsamic and the Blood Orange Olive Oil. This refreshing vinegar changes lives with its light lemony zing and cucumber aftertaste. One shot will have you making a salad every day. Do yourself a favor and get more than one bottle. The oil hits the spot with its smooth citrus notes too. Ama-zing duo!

Shore Sauce Pineapple

Shore Sauce Pineapple

This hot sauce brings the heat and I’m no lightweight. The delicious pineapple tones it down a smidgen and gives it a tropical flair. Pair the semi-chunky liquid with your favorite wings for a lip-smacking event. I’m adding it to my purse.
