The Pinch Holiday Gift Guide

Hello, Pincher! Welcome to the holiday issue of The Pinch Digest,your go-to newsletter for fresh takes on food, design, and zesty ideas, curated by the Pinch team.

This holiday season, we’re helping you shop like a food designer. Whether you’re hosting, gifting, or simply treating yourself, we’ve hand-picked items that have a pinch of whimsy:

1. Dinner Party Gifts

2. Holiday Gifts

3. Treat Yourself Gifts

We host a lot. It's always nice to show up with a little something {not only that bottle of natural wine} when attending a dinner party. This season, we encourage you to surprise your host with a pinch of something extra! Here's a few of our favorite things:

For The Table:

• For the host that loves a funky piece, get them a trio of plate mats {that's right}, food-themed coasters or fun mugs.

• For your chicest friend, grab a serving bowl, a sleek cake server, or some colorful butter spreaders.

For The Kitchen: 

• For your design-obsessed bestie, show up with a cutting board, a set of stackable containers, or a set of sculptural trivets.

• For the detail oriented host, give them essentials like a butter dish, a kitchen timer, or salad servers.

For The Pantry: 

• Stock them up with flavorful staples like this house spice blend, or a bottle of mustard oil.

• Give the gift of indulgence with a beautifully packed tin of fish, or a perfectly wrapped sweet treat.

Whatever you're celebrating these gifts will scream festive + fun. Here's a gift for every personality {horoscope signs were considered}:

For The Designers:

• The friend who loves a food moment… that’s not actually food, a tomato or olive candle.

• The minimalist will love this tablespoon, a timeless glass vase, or a centerpiece-worthy tray.

For The Foodies:

• They’ll think of you every time they use this salt and pepper grinders or this groovy vase.

• There’s no such thing as too many bowls - gift a sleek set or a statement fruit bowl.

For Cocktail Lovers:

• The friend who has a bar cart, get them a beautiful cocktail glass, or barware accessories.

• The maximalist, think cocktail sticks, a sculptural bottle opener, or a chic bottle stopper.

Treat your inner-host by gifting yourself a few Pinch-approved picks - the kinds of items that will make your guests ask, “Where did you get that!?”

To Impress Your Guests:

• Imagine passing hors d'oeuvres on this tray. How incredibly Pinch of you!

• Mix up a homemade cocktail and serve them with these glass straws. Wow, how sustainable of you.
