The 2nd Annual Little Dish Gift Guide

Himalayan Salt Plate
For the foodie who’s seen (& eaten) it all: a hand-cut block of pink salt that adds a hint of flavor to foods. Use it right on the grill, in the oven, or chill it to use as a beautiful way to serve sushi.
Sur la Table: $40

Selvedge Denim Apron
For the man of the kitchen, a vintage denim cira 1940 is just the right mix of style & utilitarianism. No lacy frills in this kitchen.
Hickorees: $155

Central Market Gift Card
So you can never go wrong with a gift card, but here’s what makes a gift card from Central Market special: they can be redeemed on cooking classes there. I’ve both given & received cooking classes from CM with great success. You can pick up a calendar of classes at the store to include with the gift card so they can pick the one they’ll like best.
Central Market: Any $$$. Classes are in the $50 – $60 range.

BeeHouse Iced Tea Pitcher
Their signature tea pots are round & cute, which makes this structured iced tea version even more unique. Brew it right in the pot using the included diffuser & put it right into the fridge.
Rare Device: $50

Brooklyn Brew Shop Kits
Kits that include everything you need to brew at home! Originally included on a matthew jacob’s annual gift guide. (He’s a good friend of the little dish & beer connoisseur.) While he’s inclined to choose the IPA, I think the Gingerbread Ale is where it’s at.
Brooklyn Brew Shop: $40

Renzo Oven Mitt
Cheery & useful. It’s a perfect complement to a baking book & they’ll use it all the time.
Built: $15

Animal Lunch Bags
Boo the pink panda(?) is on my personal wish list. Fill it with yummy snacks for double elf status.
Target: $10

Komforte Chockolates
Forgive them the quirky spelling; one look at their line of candy-bars & you’ll see they can’t help being different. The Seattle-based company currently has 3 flavors ranging from the insanely delicious-sounding French Toast flavor to the plainly insane Ramen Noodle. Availability is limited; it looks like your best online bet is here.
Seattle Chocolates: $3

Skillet Street Food Bacon Jam
This popular Austin trailer ships only one item: bacon jam. It’s rendered bacon that’s been simmered for 6 hours with onions & other spices. Delicious. Just the kind of thing our favorite pork devotee would love.
Skillet Street Food: $12
