Gift Guides & Vibes
If my Substack posts were gift guides.
Maybe it’s the aggressive consumer in me, but one of my favorite parts of the holiday season is scrolling through all my favorite influencers’ holiday gift guides. Wow, that sounds terrible—I promise I enjoy the ‘true meaning’ aspects of the season too. Since I’m not an influencer, I felt a little silly putting this together. But I thought it would be fun to look back on some of my favorite posts from this year and turn them into gift guides.
The Jell-O Belt
I received a lot of great feedback on this post—since the majority of my followers are from Utah. This gift guide is perfect for all you locals looking for a fun way to embrace your Jell-O roots.

The perfect Jell-O gift would be a Gelee bunt mold and one of their delicious sounding jell-o mixes. My only problem with this gift is how angry I am I didn’t come up with this brand myself.
Pasta post
Personally, this is my favorite post. There’s a lot of great stuff here that people wouldn’t usually buy for themselves. I also love gifting specialty food items (preferably savory), and no one does it classier than Giadzy. If you have a loved one who loves pasta, look no further.

Flour post
My article on flour had the most shares, which tells me others found it helpful… hopefully. While giving someone a bag of flour from the grocery store might not be the most glamorous gift, here’s a guide to channel all things bread-making and ‘trad-wifey’ (just kidding). From a Danish dough whisk to a gift card for everyone’s favorite high-end prairie-inspired clothing brand, these chic and cute items are perfect for your bread-making friends.

Holiday scenes I’m vibing to this year.
I’m hoping to put together more posts for the holiday season. In case you’re wondering where my Thanksgiving post is—I usually skip this holiday. My family typically celebrates in a non-traditional way. I know, strange for a food person! I’ve never really loved Thanksgiving and connect more with Christmas food. So, see you then, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
