We get it—holiday gifting can be a lot of pressure. Finding something special for everyone on your list is no small feat. You want to choose gifts that match your loved ones’ unique tastes and interests, but also ones they’ll actually use (or at least won’t re-gift next year).
Not to worry—we’ve done the hard work for you! After combing through our shelves, we’ve curated our top ten holiday gifts that are sure to delight and impress everyone on your list.
Dandelion Caramels and Pralines
For the chocolate lover in your life, there’s no gift more special than an elegant box of handcrafted caramels and pralines. Dandelion creates small-batch, single-origin chocolate confections in one-of-a-kind flavors like Okinawa Sugar, Hazelnut Coffee, and Quicos Almond. The silky caramel and nutty praline fillings offer an exquisite balance of texture and taste that’s simply divine. If you spot these in-store, grab them quickly—we only have ten of each per location!
Madonna Dell’Olivo Raro Extra Virgin Olive Oil
If you’re shopping for someone who’s always cooking up something delicious, chances are they’ll appreciate a bottle of high-quality, estate-pressed olive oil. This one’s a standout—imported from Italy, with a light, fresh flavor and a peppery finish. It’s a versatile pantry staple that’s bound to be drizzled down to the last drop in no time.
Fishwife Gift Set
Tinned fish has been the unexpected force taking the food scene by storm this year. This vibrantly designed gift set comes from Fishwife, one of the buzziest brands leading the charge. They’re completely redefining the tinned fish genre with enticingly rare varieties like slow-smoked mackerel with chili flakes and beechwood-smoked rainbow trout. Trust us, the foodies you know will thank you.
Patchology Skincare
Treat your friends and family to an at-home spa moment! Patchology combines cutting-edge science with clean ingredients for skincare that makes you glow brighter than holiday lights. Their eye gel gift set features a selection of their most popular masks—perfect for post-holiday recovery and self-care days alike.
Orca and Salmon Cutting Boards
Serving platters are a timeless gift that blends artistry and function—a win-win in our book. These PNW-inspired boards, featuring aquatic illustrations by Vermont artist Laura Zindel, are a stunning addition to any host’s entertaining collection. After the holiday feasts are over, they’re gorgeous enough to display in the kitchen year-round.
Ad Hoc Coffee Grinder and Metropolitan Market Winter Roast
Nothing beats the cozy comfort of coffee made just the way you like it. This modern grinder is equipped with a smooth hand crank and adjustable coarseness settings to bring out the bold, aromatic flavor of coffee at its best. Pair it with our Winter Roast for the gift of a fresh-brewed morning that feels truly magical.
Sun Liquor Holiday Blend
When it comes to the holidays, you can’t go wrong with a high-proof present. Local distillery Sun Liquor crafts a special seasonal spirit exclusively for Metropolitan Market guests—a smooth blend of rum, brandy, and whiskey that’s just begging to slip into a mug of eggnog.
G.H. Mumm Grand Cordon Brut
It doesn’t get classier than gifting a bottle of authentic Champagne. This clean-cut cuvée, made from Pinot Noir grapes, hits all the right notes: bold, fruity, and complex. A tall flute of effervescent bubbly is the perfect way to raise a toast to friends and family at any festive December gathering.
Delille Cellars D2 Wine
This luscious red is a stunning expression of the Columbia Valley’s finest vineyards. A Bourdeaux-style blend, it’s bound to impress the wine aficionados on your gift list. They can enjoy it now, or let it age gracefully to deeper complexity. Either way, it’s a sophisticated sip that complements any special occasion.
The Pathfinder N/A Spirit
Here’s an herbal libation for the friends and family on your list who prefer their holidays dry, but still want something every bit as festive as a full-proof drink. The Pathfinder N/A Spirit shines on its own or stirred into a mocktail for holiday flair without the holiday hangover.
