Mixing up a truly impressive cocktail these days requires a lot more than cheap gin and a soggy olive. The closer we can get to small-batch and custom-made, the more likely we are to drop the jaws of our dinner party guests. And what's smaller... [More]
Still sporting that freebie keychain bottle opener you got for sampling beer? Switch it out for an inconspicuous Key Bottle Opener ($15) by Makr Carry Goods. Your taste in brews has evolved, so your boozy paraphernalia should reflect your new maturity!... [More]
Snacks: they're the bane of our diets. We'll carefully weigh and plan our breakfast, lunch, and dinner... and then blow the whole thing to hell with one bag of Fritos. There's no point trying to go cold turkey. We need to replace those salty, fatty... [More]
We'll believe anything the good-looking, talented Bryan Voltaggio, Top Chef season six runner-up, tells us. So if Williams-Sonoma is selling a collection of Bryan Voltaggio's Favorite Spices ($44), we're buying! We appreciate that the collection features spices not found in the average home cook's cupboard.... [More]
Jerky: it's one of our dirty food secrets, right up there with late-night White Castle slider gorges and chili fries. As it turns out, we shouldn't have been hiding our shoe-leather teriyaki in shame at all. Jerky is actually pretty darned healthy when compared to... [More]

We shouldn't be telling you about this Godiva Peppermint Mocha Limited Edition Coffee ($16). In fact, we've changed our minds. Um, we mean... peppermint coffee? Obviously disgusting, right? You should avoid this stuff like the plague. Leave all of it on the shelves where it... [More]
Pshaw, we say! Pshaw to fancy Christmas candles and room sprays! You can fill your house with a warm holiday scent by using a few pantry items. Fill a small saucepan with an inch or two of water, add the peel of an orange, four... [More]
We're not entirely sure how More Spies, Black Ties, and Mango Pies ($30) escaped our notice when it was released in 2009. Maybe we were too distracted by Cookin' With Coolio, which came out at the same time. We digress. The first cookbook is out... [More]
The next time you need a hot chocolate fix, ditch the Swiss Miss and instead opt for a few heaping spoonfuls of Moonstruck's Classic Hot Cocoa ($12). It's as easy to prepare as the standard packaged varieties, but infinitely more rich and creamy, plus there's... [More]
Sure, you could pick up a bag or two of your giftee's favorite coffee and call it a day. Or you could put in a little extra effort and give her a whole new morning ritual. Add a selection of sweet biscotti from Biscotti di... [More]
'Tis the season for some of our favorite treats, with chocolate bark at the top of the list. This year, we're gonna pass on tempering our own chocolate and go gourmet. The Bark Bar Sampler ($45) from Cacao Prieto is to die for. They start... [More]
There are a million and three subscription-based gifts you can give this holiday season, so if you're thinking about about sending one to the Outblush headquarters, can we put in a request for the Wrecking Ball Coffee Subscription ($109)? Okay, joking aside, this sub is... [More]

We're a bit obsessed with 90+ Cellars. Turns out, top-tier winemakers don't actually bottle everything they produce, thanks to that whole supply-and-demand business. Where does the rest end up? Well, increasingly, under the 90+ Cellars label. The firm buys up and bottles surplus high-quality juice... [More]
If you order a Virginia Cocktail Peanuts Hostess Tin ($20) from MV's Best to give to the hostess of an upcoming holiday dinner, don't open it to take a peek beforehand. We did, and now we have to order another tin. This time, we'll order... [More]

We can't tell you what we like most about the Candy Cane Caramels Gift Box ($29) from Helliemae's. Okay, that's a lie. We're pretty partial to the lightly-minted, rich flavor of the caramels. But we also adore the packaging. The set of nine individually wrapped... [More]
