Well, this is it—our final 2014 Holiday Gift Guide. Hopefully these guides gave you some much-needed inspiration for what to give all the special people in your life. Good luck with your holiday shopping and battling the crowds at the mall (read: war zones). From our hearts to yours, Happy Holidays!
Purple Wine Club: Picking out a bottle of wine can be intimidating, and admit it, you only pick a bottle because you either find the label or price attractive. Help a loved one out by letting the Purple Wine Club pick for him or her this holiday season. Prices vary depending on what kind of wine you order (red/white/director’s choice) and frequency (monthly/quarterly). || Order here.
Pok Pok: Portland Chef Andy Richer, who was named the Best Chef of the Northwest in 2011 by the James Beard Foundation, recently released a book titled “Pok Pok: Food and Stories from the Streets, Homes, and Roadside Restaurants of Thailand.” It features nearly 100 recipes, first-hand accounts of his travels to Thailand and much more from the acclaimed chef. Amazon is selling a hardcover copy for about $22. || Order here.
Vodka Zinger: The Vodka Zinger makes infusing your own vodka at home as easy as twisting close a bottle. A fine mesh lid at the bottom of the Vodka Zinger bottle ensures that only flavor from natural ingredients like herbs, fruit and berries—but not their pulp—makes its way into the alcohol creating a delicious infusion you can call your own. Zing Anything sells them for $26. || Order here.
Salish Gift Packs & Baskets: Overlooking Washington’s scenic Snoqualmie Falls is the Salish Hotel & Spa. This holiday season, Salish is offering a number of artisan holiday gift packs and baskets including the Honey Lover’s Gift Set, Beer Lover’s Gift Set, the Holiday Morning Gift Set and more.
