Top 5 Hosting & Entertaining Gifts
1) Artisanal Chocolate Truffles Box
Elements Truffles: Artisanal Chocolate Truffles Box - Box of 8
2) Decorative Glass Pumpkin Bundle
Kitras Art Glass: Decorative Glass Pumpkin Bundle - Orange
3) Aroma-Enhancing Spirits Glass
This carefully developed spirits glass (created after years of research and prototypes!) was made to showcase whiskey, bourbon, gin, and other spirits. The unique design encourages the aroma to open up while eliminating nose burn from alcohol vapors, so you can enjoy every delicious, nuanced flavor.
4) Java Long Bean Pepper Gift Set
The Java Long Bean Pepper Gift Set contains several aromatic long peppers from the Indonesian island of Java. The long peppers have their own distinctive character, and when grated over your dish, you’ll detect the familiar black pepper taste along with surprising aromas of licorice, aniseed, and cinnamon with a spicy sensation towards the end.
5) Ergonomic Ice Cream Scoop
What happens when an aerospace engineer is also an ice cream enthusiast? You get a space-grade, ergonomic, ice cream scoop that’ll last you a lifetime. Midnight Scoop was engineered so that you use your arms—not your wrists—when you scoop, to avoid strain. Enjoy.
