Still looking for the perfect gifts? Well, as a follow up on last week’s Holiday Gift Guide for Foodies– edibles and drinkables, we have some great gift ideas for foodies who want something a little more permanent. All of these gifts are local, special and perfect for the foodie who wants to use their gift and not eat or drink it.
For the aspiring chef….
No culinary kitchen is complete without a sharp chef’s knife. The beautiful, hand-crafted knives and kitchen tools from New West KnifeWorks, are the perfect addition to any kitchen. All designed and created in the Tetons, these knives are as incredible as the mountains that inspired them.
For coffee lovers…..
Any real coffee lover understands the value of a good mug. Luckily, our local coffee shops make sure we have the tools to keep our coffee warm and delicious. Head over to Persephone for the gift of a custom Persephone Bakery glass KeepCup for brews-on-the-go. Keepcup, the makers of the World’s first barista standard reusable cup have excellent thermal properties and are ideal for enjoying toasty hot beverages in a stylish, environmentally-friendly vessel. Pearl street Bagels also sells a variety of reusable mugs available in many different shapes and sizes. No one deserves to have to drink cold coffee this winter.
For grill masters…
If you have someone on your list who is a self-proclaimed grill master, or wishes they were, a Traeger grill is just what they need and is available at Teton Rental Center. Traeger pellet grills pack big flavor into everything you grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise and BBQ. Traeger’s wood pellets are made with 100 percent pure, natural hardwood, giving an authentic and delicious flavor. Luckily, for those lacking in grilling skills, Grilling with this grill has never been easier. Teton Rental Center has a variety of these grills for sale, big and small, making it easy for you to pick out the perfect gift.
For Moscow Mule lovers….
If you have someone on your list who enjoys a good ol Moscow Mule, Jackson Hole Stillworks’ pure copper etched mugs retail at $33 each and make the perfect gift. They can be found at Jackson Whole Grocer. If you want to take it to the next level, pair it with some Jackson Hole Stillworks vodka and bottles of organic ginger beer.
