Top 5 Gift Sets
1) Brownies - Set of 3

2) Beginner's Safety Razor Gift Set
The Rookie Razor cuts clean and close to the skin. And it’s a great induction into better, less wasteful way of shaving. The double-edged blade won’t tug or pull on hair, so you get smooth shave minus the ingrowns and irritation. The buffer between the blade’s edge and your skin gives extra safety, too. The gift set comes with everything you could possibly need to groom, including extra blades, shaving creams, and alum matches (in case you get a nick).
3) New England Spice Gift Set
Down east flavors from a spice gift set inspired by (and sourced from) New England. The set includes two of Curio Spice Co.’s signature spice blends along with Maine sea salt. It’s all directly sourced from farms and growers to ensure freshness and purity, and comes with recipe cards to help you get cooking.
4) Olive Oil Gift Box - Set of 5

5) Coastal Kitchen Seafood Tools Set
With this oyster shucker, shrimp deveiner, and crab cutter gift set, you have all the tools you need to host a serious seafood fest—and do it with less hassle and mess. The shrimp cleaner deveins, peels, and butterflies shrimp in one motion. The oyster knife has a bent tip to better open shells, and the crab cutter cracks crab shells quickly and easily.
