We love Bittermilk’s award-winning cocktail syrups, including this set of fresh takes on the old-fashioned. Bittermilk’s syrups, made with natural ingredients and bottled in Charleston, South Carolina, each make 17 cocktails. Try the New Orleans Style Old Fashioned Rouge, the Oaxacan Old Fashioned, and the Gingerbread Old Fashioned. But perhaps most exciting is the classic Bourbon Barrel Aged, which is aged in a freshly emptied, once-used Willett bourbon barrel. This gives it deep, layered notes of charred white oak — just add the whiskey.

Graza’s iconic Sizzle and Drizzle strike again, this time in a gift-ready box that’s perfect for anyone in your life who cooks. Sizzle, made for cooking, is mellow and rich, pressed from late harvest, mature Spanish olives. Drizzle, meanwhile, is zesty and robust, a great oil for finishing dishes.

Luxury can mean different things to different people. For some, it’s a butter-soft cashmere sweater; for others, it’s sitting down for a relaxing cup of exotic tea. For those on your list who identify with the latter, Vahdam’s tea gift set is sure to fulfill their desire for both luxury and relaxation. Known for its bespoke chai blends and other Indian-inspired flavors, the brand turns simple tea into an experience. This chic set combines three distinct chais, with enough of each spiced tea to brew 25 cups.

We love Heraclea’s classic extra virgin olive oil, which has plenty of character and flexibility, but we love gifting this set of the brand’s infused olive oils. Heraclea’s cold-pressed EVOO — milled in Turkiye — is infused with aromatics for four distinct styles in pretty tins. Try bold garlic, sunny lemon, earthy rosemary, and punchy chili.

We love this gift box from purveyor of Greek specialties, Primis Imports. It stars extra-flaky Greek sea salt, a bottle of their Everyday Cuvée extra virgin olive oil, kicky Pizza Oil, and four bags of pasteli, thin, crispy sesame and pistachio brittle. And their cheeky packaging is an extra bonus.

Credit: Porter Road
Porter Road was started by two Nashville chefs who were struggling to find fresh, humanely raised meat in their area. The shop soon developed a cult following for its high-quality meats, butchered on-site and sourced from free-range animals raised on local farms. In 2019, the brand launched an online shop so people around the country could taste the difference in their products, and this curated assortment is a perfect sampler of Porter Road’s greatest hits. The best of the box includes dry-aged ribeye or strip steaks, pork chops, ground beef, bacon, and two types of fresh sausage.

As the name of this package suggests, it can feed a small crowd. Island Creek grows its oysters in Duxbury Bay, Massachusetts, harvests them every morning, and overnight ships them (shipping is included in the price!) straight to your door. This is a great gift for landlocked friends and family who crave a taste of the coast, or for anyone looking to switch up their cookout spread. This Block Party set includes 100 super-fresh East Coast oysters, plus 250 grams of buttery white sturgeon caviar from Italy. Altogether, it’ll serve 10 to 15 seafood-hungry diners.
Credit: Brightland
This chic little bundle from California-based olive oil and vinegar maker Brightland has everything you need to dress all of your spring and summer salads, including a sleek gold pour spout. The Awake olive oil is a robust blend made from early-harvest Coratina olives, so it’s bold with lots of fresh grassy notes. Drizzle this olive oil over grilled vegetables or a seared steak, or you can pair it with the rest of the package — orange blossom honey and Champagne vinegar infused with Valencia oranges — for a quick three-ingredient vinaigrette.
Brightland is one of our favorite olive oils, and we think this stylish set deserves a permanent perch on everyone’s kitchen counter.

Biscotti is a classic holiday food gift, regardless of whether your family (or your giftee) is Italian. The classic cookie can often be time-consuming to bake, making it one more thing you’d need to squeeze onto your ever-growing holiday to-do list. Luckily, the biscotti gift basket from Ferrara does the hard work for you, bundling together a selection of different flavors from the storied New York City institution. Packed inside are yummy combos like chocolate chip, anise, and spiced biscotti, a pound and a half in all, made using fifth-generation recipes straight from the Little Italy bakery.

There’s also a magazine included in each box, granting your recipient details on the cultural story behind each of the 22 chosen snacks.

There’s a reason Andia Xouris is the only female Grand Master of Ice Cream in the American South and Southeast. We’re huge fans of her unique flavors and were impressed with how ice cream’s texture, first sampled in Andia’s North Carolina-based scoop shops, translates to every hand-packed pint — every spoonful is creamy, supple, and utterly delicious. This sampler includes six flavors: Andia’s signature Baklava, Rose & Pistachio, Butter Toffee Popcorn, Double Dark Chocolate, Mango Jalapeno Margarita, and vegan Lemon Basil Sorbet.
Credit: Jasper Hill Farm
Made in its on-site Vermont creamery and cheese cellars, Jasper Hill Farm’s cheeses are award-winning — and for good reason. We love to give (and get) the Vermonter box, which contains four of the brand’s exceptional cheeses. Try our favorite, Harbison, a creamy, spoonable cheese aged in spruce bark for a little extra funk (it’s actually inspired by Vacherin Mont d’Or, the woodsy, nutty alpine cheese made from winter cow’s milk). Also included are a wedge of sweet, buttery Whitney; a wheel of milky, earthy Willoughby; and nutty, savory Cabot Clothbound Cheddar. To round out the basket, Jasper Hill Farm will also send you smoky, candied pecans and thin, crispy crackers made from spent grain.

The pears’ flesh is so sweet, buttery, and soft; serve them with a spoon and call dessert sorted.
