PROVISIONS, SERVEWARE, AND KITCHEN TOOLS MADE BY HAND FOR THE PEOPLE WHO OPEN THEIR DOORS

Good hosts make it look easy: the table is set, the kettle is on, and there's always room for one more. These gifts are for the people who do the inviting, from small-batch pantry provisions to hand-thrown serveware and linens made for many dinners to come.

Bloomist

The Bloomist Sweet & Savory Trio

$100

A host gift that outclasses the usual bottle of wine, for the cook who cares where ingredients come from. Three full-size bottles arrive together: our Private Reserve olive oil, cold-pressed from hand-harvested Moraiolo olives in Trevi, Italy, plus raw unfiltered honey and amber maple syrup from a family farm in the Berkshires.

Three end-grain boards in eastern Canadian larch, sized for every job from mincing garlic to carving and serving a roast. The end grain closes up around knife marks and goes easy on blades, and rubber feet keep each board steady, making this a set the host who cooks for a crowd will use daily.
