Smitten Kitchen Blueberry Muffins: Delicious, special, and pretty easy to make. Bonus points for wrapping them in a tea towel or basket for presentation. My go-to general gift for celebrating, grieving, and everything in between.

Diaspora Co. Peni Miris Cinnamon: It’s something that pretty much everyone will use, fair trade/amazing quality, and smells amazing. I also gift the Masala Chai for my tea drinker friends or any of their other spices for friends that like to cook.

Homecourt Hand Soap: First of all, what? Courtney Cox makes soap? Second of all, this one is her signature fragrance. There are other scents, too, and options beyond hand soap (lotions, candles, etc). I feel like if you are a fan of Courtney in Friends, you can add some cute tag making a connection when you gift this soap to a friend. "Monica would approve"?

Sizzle, Drizzle, & Frizzle Trio: The Sizzle, Drizzle, & Frizzle trio is a great go-to gift. For a less expensive option, go with the fancy mayo.

Wonder Valley Olive Oil: Great hostess gift, work people gift, adult kid gift, women-owned, California based, delicious, makes every meal better, not boozy for those who don't drink, healthy, inspiring logo...I could go on but I'll stop.  Only downfall is its heavy and fragile to ship if you want to wrap it and personalize it yourself.

Emilie Bienvenew · Answer

Fleur de sel au piment d'Espelette (Maison Arostéguy): Best salt for cooking and seasoning.

Bonus: get the ceramic version from Goicoechea pottery.
