1) Calypso Artisanal Chocolate Gift Box

The Calypso Artisanal Chocolate Gift Box is handcrafted and adorned with Nelumbo custom artwork. Includes an assortment of three Classic Bars and a set of two vegan hot chocolate mixes.

            2) Ceramic Self-Watering Herb Pot

This self-watering herb pot cultivates herbs almost all by itself. Fill it up every two to three weeks, and a plant will automatically absorb just what it needs through the planter’s unglazed ceramic water reservoir. It’s a great-looking and low-maintenance way to try your hand at gardening.
            
            3) 24 oz Pecan Gift Tin

Holiday Fried Pecans are flash-fried to make a sweet, salty, crunchy treat. Made in Louisiana from an old family recipe, you can eat them straight or on top of ice cream, salads, sweet potatoes and more.
            
            4) Baking Spices Gift Set

Time for a bake-off. This baking spices set takes your cooking in a flavorful new direction. Curio Spice Co.’s signature spice blends combine interesting flavor combinations (pink pepper, rose, and ylang ylang, anyone?) and pair up with tried-and-true baking staples like cinnamon and nutmeg. Recipe cards are included for inspiration and it is all directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure freshness and purity.
            
            5) Blooming Tea Variety Tin & Teapot

These blooming tea flowers turn tea time into a mesmerizing ritual. The blossoms open slowly inside the glass pot, and they’re infused with Chinese tea that delivers delicious fragrance and flavor. Each flower is good for about three infusions. This set includes a beautiful glass teapot with a wire filter and a collectible tin with a dozen wrapped tea blooms, two of each delicious flavor.
