-
Self-Seal Tea Bags
These will only seem revolutionary if you’ve been heat-sealing your hand-filled tea bags, or using the unattractive draping tube that cligs moistly to the side of your teacup. Self-seal bags let you spoon in your whole-leaf tea, then simply press shut. Lovely, lovely. Thanks, Heather!

Blue Bottle Coffee Subscription
Blue Bottle is a San Francisco-based small batch roaster that’s a little OCD about coffee. As their site says, “We take freshness and small-batch roasting to an extreme not considered practical anywhere else in the coffee business.” What does that mean exactly? Essentially, a cup of coffee so delicious that you feel it in your spine. The good news for you? They offer bean gift subscriptions. You need never sleep again.
$18 at Blue Bottle Coffee | Buy
(Per month)
-
Variety Box of Sausage
OK. Nothing is funnier than sending someone a “variety box of sausages.” These sausages are made to order, and this box contains two five-pound packages of Italian Sausage and one each of the Classic and the Spicy. Ha. Sausage box.
(10 lbs)
-
Apple-ation Apple Brandy
God bless a vintner with a pet project. Guy Davis decided to take advantage of the organic apple orchards in the Russian River Valley to make small batch apple brandy. Davis eschews the usual practice of fermenting just the apple juice; however, he leaves the peels and fruit in during fermentation for a deeper apple flavor. The results are spectacular.
$35 at Davis Family Vineyards | Buy
-

Tea Forte’s choice teas come in aesthetically pleasing pyramid-shaped bags. The mesh bags even have wired tags that hook over the side of your cup, so you’ll never have to fish around in scalding tea for an escapee. This soothing gift set comes with a lidded tea cup, tiny trays for the used tea bags, and a selection of whole-leaf teas. It’s a bundle of calm escape, and you don’t even have to wrap it.
-
Old Cavendish Fruitcake
I’m mostly listing this because I think sending fruitcake on Christmas is funny, but also because these cakes got good reviews around the office. They’re packed with nuts and real dried fruits, as opposed to the weirdly colored fruity gels you find in most cakes. The consensus seemed to be, “If you like fruitcake, this is good fruitcake.”
$23 at Old Cavendish | Buy
(16 oz., shipping included)
