Top 5 Gift Sets
1) Java Long Bean Pepper Gift Set
The Java Long Bean Pepper Gift Set contains several aromatic long peppers from the Indonesian island of Java. The long peppers have their own distinctive character, and when grated over your dish, you’ll detect the familiar black pepper taste along with surprising aromas of licorice, aniseed, and cinnamon with a spicy sensation towards the end.
2) Bath & Body Brush Set
This bath and body brush set provides a natural spa experience you can enjoy every day. The dry brush—made of beechwood with sisal bristles—gently exfoliates skin without the risk of bacteria, like with plastic sponges. Scrub every spot with the long handle dry/wet brush and face brush that make it easy to clean up in a sustainable way.
3) Chef's Pack Spices Gift Set
Take dishes in a flavorful new direction. This spice gift set includes all eight of Curio Spice Co.’s signature (and one-of-a-kind) blends. The spices are directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure freshness and purity, and the set includes oh-so handy recipe cards to help get you cooking.
4) Zero Waste Sustainable Starter Kit
This zero-waste sustainable starter kit makes plastic-free living a cinch at home or on the go. An eight-piece bamboo cutlery set, kitchen dish brush, pot scrubber, adult bamboo toothbrush, and expandable French market bag are included. All are reusable and made with eco-friendly materials.
