Sometimes it’s hard to know what to get people as a gift. You want to get them something they’ll use and appreciate but you’re not sure what. Here are some ideas I hope will help you as you do your holiday shopping.
Christmas ornament or decorative item: Hand blown glass ornament from Artifactory, decorative items from the Paperstore.
Blake Hill Preserves: You can get little jar samples. I love the apricot and orange and lemon marmalade flavors. See my more detailed post here.
Specialty Food items: I always like getting specialty food items because they’re a tasty luxury. Quechee Gorge Gifts has all you need for these types of gifts like great fudge, Fat Toad Farm Caramel, or Smoky Bacon Cabot Cheese.
Local Chocolates like Lake Champlain from Burlington that you can get at King Arthur, Laughing Moon Chocolates from Stowe you can get online, and Burdick Chocolates from Walpole or My Brigadeiro in Hanover.
Hot chocolate mix like Silly Cow you can get at the Claremont Spice Store with Baileys or another flavored liquor. See how the gift looks here.
Fun Blank Cards, mug, magnets, coloring books, or antique journal from POST in White River.
Yankee Candle Accessory: Everyone loves a nice neutral scent and the ambience of a Yankee Candle. Not sure what scent they’d like? A tart burner, wax melt, candle topper or tray, or other candle accessory with a gift card might be a good option. They also have their top gifts too so you can know where to start.
