Liquor

Vom Fass is a great stop for lots of different unique Jackson specialties. Pick up an oil and vinegar combo as well as some spices, tie a pretty ribbon around them and voila! A great present for anyone special on your list.Vom Fass Gifts

Beer

If you have a beer lover on your list, stop into all the local breweries and pick up a different beer from each. Melvin and Snake River Brew Pub are canning their beers now and showing up to a friend’s house with a six pack of any of the breweries beers will surely make you a welcome guest.

Wine

Jackson Hole Winery offers a great selection of locally made wine that makes a welcome gift. I personally like to give a selection of their red blend as well as the chardonnay to all the wine lovers in my life. Find their wine at most liquor stores in town.

Fine Dining Restaurant Group is offering curated gift baskets for any price point. Fill these with wine, spirits and other edible treats like charcuterie, cheese, pasta and crackers. Contact eric@jhfinedining.com to place an order.

Snacks

One can never have too many snacks in their pantry, and Jackson is at no shortage of locally made noshes. Pig Candy from Cafe Genevieve, chocolates from Atelier Ortega, jerky from JH Buffalo Meat Company, and The Bunnery’s pancake mix all make great food options to give as gifts.

Plus, they don’t have to be eaten immediately (a bonus when we’ve all been eating way too many sugar cookies), so they can sit on the shelf until your recipient is ready to unwrap them (or defrost them, in the case with frozen steaks from Buffalo Meat Co.) All of these are also easy to package and send to a loved one who doesn’t live locally or make the perfect addition to any gift basket.

Spice it Up

roadhouse-sauces

Have someone who always adds a dash of heat to his or her food? Then a selection of locally made hot sauces or barbecue sauce is a perfect present. They are available to purchase from Q Roadhouse & Brewing Co., Bodega and Bin22. (They are great stocking stuffers!) Find Fire N The Hole hot sauces at Made and Cafe Genevieve.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Dishing and stay tuned for more holiday gift guides coming your way!

Mollie Flaherty

Mollie is a native Cape Codder who learned at an early age how to put a lobster to sleep, harvest cranberries, and dig for clams. After high school she followed her sense of adventure out west to the University of Wyoming where she graduated with marketing and communication degrees. She found herself making roots in Jackson, her fiance’s hometown, and using her sales skills combined with her love of anything delicious to join the Dishing sales team. She loves baking from scratch, large glasses of red wine, and hiking with her heeler, Newton. She’ll try anything, but remains a stuck up Cape Codder when it comes to seafood. If she didn’t catch it or see it come off the boat, don’t even try tempting her.
