Top 5 Gift Sets
1) Chef's Pack Spices Gift Set
Take dishes in a flavorful new direction. This spice gift set includes all eight of Curio Spice Co.’s signature (and one-of-a-kind) blends. The spices are directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure freshness and purity, and the set includes oh-so handy recipe cards to help get you cooking.
2) Sustainable Kitchen Cleaning Set
This sustainable kitchen cleaning set makes it easy to sidestep plastic in your home. The pot brush, dish brush, and bottle brush are all made with sustainably-grown bamboo handles and durable sisal bristles for strong scrubbing without any glue or adhesives. And an all-natural kitchen sponge is fully compostable when it’s done with dish duty.
3) Brutus Sandalwood's Beard Oil, Balm & Wash Kit
This complete beard care kit for the ultimate Brutus fan helps you say goodbye to dried out, flaky beards and hello to a healthy shine. The wash won’t strip away natural oil, keeping hair conditioned and nourished. Then the balm and oil help shape and tame your look without a greasy finish. The products all have a sandalwood scent and come in a keepsake tin.
4) Bath & Body Brush Set
This bath and body brush set provides a natural spa experience you can enjoy every day. The dry brush—made of beechwood with sisal bristles—gently exfoliates skin without the risk of bacteria, like with plastic sponges. Scrub every spot with the long handle dry/wet brush and face brush that make it easy to clean up in a sustainable way.
5) Cookies - Set of 3
“The Cookie” is Salt of the Earth Bakery’s original recipe—rich chocolate chips in buttery batter with flaky Maldon sea salt. Crunchy, briny sea salt from Bali boosts the flavor of plump raisins and oatmeal in The Wild Oat. In the Chocoholic, three kinds of chocolate converge with a dash of Maldon sea salt. Pack of 3 boxes of Salt of the Earth Bakery Cookies.
