The six gifts

Gifting Idea 01

24 Spice Advent

For the home cook who tries everything once.

Behind each of the twenty four doors, a new sample size spice or spice blend: a few old friends, a few proper introductions. Every one pairs with recipe ideas on our online companion page, so nothing in your December countdown lands in the spice cabinet without a plan.

12 Recipe Advent

For the host with people coming over.

Twelve numbered boxes inside a keepsake botanical tin. Each holds a recipe card for a bite sized holiday treat and the spice samples to make it, so the plan arrives with the ingredients.

Spice Packs

For the creative cook who improvises.

Six packs, each holding four refill sized pouches and six sample size packets. Blend a pumpkin pie spice heavy on the cardamom, infuse a salt that tastes like your kitchen, or build a cocoa that changes with your mood.

Custom Spice Sets

For a brand new kitchen.

Three pinch jars in a gift box, or twelve with a free wooden rack. Nearly a hundred spices, herbs, salts, and creator blends to choose from, and every pick is yours.

Themed Spice Sets

For anyone on the list who cooks.

Nine boxed sets, three pinch jars each, every trio drawn from one family. Herbs, peppercorns, finishing salts, coffee rubs, and natural food colors. Built around the classics, made for exploring.

Small Spice Gifts

For stocking stuffers that get used, not shelved.

A Recipe Sampler is a whole recipe with the spice packets to cook it, for five dollars. A Try-Me is one spice in a sample size packet, for fifty cents. Buy one, or a handful for every stocking on the mantel. Small, good looking, and gone by January.
