Gifts for people who like to cook and eat
on hand's first gift guide is here!
It’s nearly the middle of November and that means one thing: the holidays are upon us whether you like it or not. If you work in marketing (me) or have turned on a tv (all of us), the holidays have been here for a while. But by this point in November, it doesn’t feel crazy to be thinking about gifts, which is why I am excited about on hand’s first ever gift guide!
Gifting is highly personal, but if anyone on your list likes to cook, eat, host, travel, or read this newsletter, you’ve come to the right place! These gift ideas are based largely around things I own and love, and a few things I’ve had my eye on.
Some gifts are more design forward, while some might be more practical. Others go well together: a Fellow coffee mug and a bean subscription, or a custom market tote with produce bags and a nice notebook to jot down recipes. Many of the gifts come from on hand alumni who have been previously featured in this newsletter (marked with*), which thrills me. And I even have a few discount codes listed below as well.
No matter who you are buying for, there’s surely a few items to spark some ideas. And if nothing else, never overestimate the power of gifting a nice bag of beans — trust me, it’s awesome.
A heads-up: some links are affiliates so I will earn a commission if you make a purchase. A portion of commission I earn will be donated to Feeding America, a nonprofit network of 200 food banks leading the fight against hunger in the United States.
