If you’re trying to select the right gift for two people, it’s easy to become bogged down since you have to think about both people’s preferences at the same time. In this situation, food and culinary presents come in helpful.
Even couples who had never cooked before the epidemic are going to be worn out from all the time spent in the kitchen. You’ll appreciate presents like high-quality food, elegant dinnerware, delectable beverages, and even a respite from meal preparation. So you don’t have to be concerned. You no longer need to look for a shared interest.
A genuinely exceptional flavor
You can’t go wrong with Diaspora Co.’s Masala Dabba as a gift for a couple who likes cooking. The Diaspora team has designed a beautiful brass container to house its ethically sourced spices. You’ll find the classic Pragati turmeric in each masala Dabba, along with my personal favorite Baraka cardamom and the brand new Nagpuri cumin.
Kitchen Brackets Renovated
Casseroles may not necessarily equate to a hot date, but dining together and not bickering over who has to do the dishes is a certain way to keep the peace at home. Ceramic stoneware that can endure temperatures up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit has been designed by the Great Jones brand for use in the kitchen, and its broad, sturdy handles make this product both elegant and useful. Finally, it may be washed in the dishwasher.
Cutting boards that are made of high-quality wood are an investment that will last a lifetime.
A couple collaborated on the creation of this model. Royal Craft Wood is a Lawrencville, GA company that specializes in cutting boards that are both beautiful and functional. This set of 3 wooden cutting boards is a personal favorite of mine. There’s a juice groove on each board to capture any juice that spills over during chopping.
Do not forget to take cute cutting board storage – it suits perfectly for the mentioned set!
Anything to slake your thirst
For as long as the weather is chilly and I need the depth of tea, One Stripe Chai has swiftly replaced all of the other teas in my cabinet. Masala Chai Blend – the fourth generation of the family’s biodynamic and organic tea garden in Assam, India – is included in this gift box. When looking for Haldi, another doodh featured in the One Stripe Gift Pack; you don’t have to use acronyms. Diaspora Co. and One Stripe collaborate on turmeric.
After the bartender’s shift, relax with a pre-mixed drink. Small amounts of St. Agrestis Negroni are made with a unique combination of bitterness and vivid herbal aromas, making it excellent for the colder months. What’s one more perk? Miniature glass bottles in which they are packaged are really stunning. Or, if you prefer, a carton of draft drinks!
I’m in need of some inspiration
During a pandemic, I’ve never heard of a couple that didn’t miss a date. Dress (preferably in an inelastic fabric) and leave home. While waiting for a table, walk sideways to the bar. No screens, utensils, or kids allowed. By selling the New York cookbook, Christine Theis Studdeman is contributing all revenues to the ROAR x Robin Hood Restaurant Relief Fund, which helps New York City eateries affected by the flu epidemic. Some of my favorite date recipes are included in this collection. There’s a casual elegance to every meal, from the delicate Fennel Salad to the perfectly cooked Chickpea and Broccoli pasta.
Not a single pan or Instant Pot recipe can be found in this book. It’s the kind of dish that’s generally reserved for a special occasion, like a dinner party. But after nine months of living in the same place, you and your partner may just be in the mood for a nice dinner party with all the trimmings. Some of Ixta Belfrage’s recipes include sticky rice balls in spicy tamarind sauce, crispy tempura beet stalks, and little lemon halves packed with sorbet, so you know you can count on them to deliver even if you’re cooking alone at home.
Adding a few plants
A little amount of greenery may go a long way, even if it’s only a houseplant. Three wonderfully ripe adobo peppers are on the windowsill in front of me as I type this. It’s been verified by Bloomscape that this plant is really zen-like, and I didn’t even notice it. Several times, I neglected to water him. When he arrived two months ago, I hadn’t replanted it, nor had I added fertilizer or fresh soil (and I take all the credit).
Put the meal planning on hold for a while
It’s okay to take a break from the drudgery of meal planning, shopping, cooking, and preparing again. A little respite from the tedium of meal preparation is provided by food delivery as a gift. To me, Blue Apron was defined as “what’s for lunch in the middle of the week? a conflict avoidance strategy.” This might also function as a kind of self-confidence-building exercise for newcomers. Consider a couple of recipes from the Daily Harvest or Sakara Life if you truly need a vacation from cooking. With a strong focus on vegetables, the Daily Harvest and Sakara Life have both extended their product lines to include non-dairy ice creams, as well as cinnamon buns with date caramel frosting for those who want their breakfasts a little sweeter.
There will be a month-long candle
In the real world, the majority of monthly taste subscriptions are awful. Perfume-related images come to mind. In contrast, Vellabox partners with local manufacturers (such as one of my favorite scented candle makers, Brooklyn Candle Studio) to produce monthly subscription boxes, therefore breaking the norm. You’ll get 25 hours of burning time out of this candle, plus a surprise gift each month.
