Hello and welcome to my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide! Here you will find my personal recommendations to make your shopping easier and more fun this year. Many of the items below are affiliate links which means I make a small commission (with no extra cost to you!). Thank you in advance for being here and for potentially supporting my business through these links. That said, I truly love every single product you see below. They have all become a part of my life and I think they would make for amazing gifts. Happy shopping!
EAST FORK POTTERY
If you have been a reader of the blog or follow me on social media, you know that East Fork Pottery is a huge part of my life. Whether it be for styling and shooting food or to simply use in my daily life, I am obsessed with their pottery. It is such a lovely part of my home and it’s made incredibly well. Not only that, it’s dishwasher safe and it ages beautifully. They have offered my audience 15% off your first order using my discount code MVEGAN. I cannot recommend them enough!
THE CHALLENGER BREAD PAN
It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with sourdough baking. My goal early on has always been to make the most perfect loaf. I have tried many different methods for doing so and I have found that the Challenger Bread Pan is an excellent tool and one of my favorite things! The design makes it so much easier to place the loaf in the pan and the lid on top (if you’ve tried doing this with a dutch oven, you know it can be a bit cumbersome!). Once you find the oven temperature sweet spot in combination with this pan, you will be left with a gorgeous loaf with a beautiful oven spring.
AESOP REVERENCE AROMATIQUE HAND WASH
This soap is at the top of my list and for good reason! First, it smells AMAZING. Second, it has finely milled pumice which exfoliates your hands making them feel soft and clean. And lastly, because it is super concentrated you only need one little pump to get the job done. It is quite pricey but totally worth it in my opinion, especially for a gift.
RISHI TEA
If you know me, you know that I ADORE tea. I even wrote a whole blog post about it. So you might be wondering, where is my favorite place to purchase tea? Rishi! They have the most amazing selection with the highest quality and many of their offerings are organic. Use my code MVEGAN15 to get 15% off the entire site. I cannot recommend this company enough!
ENSO HD 7″ VEGETABLE CLEAVER
I have been using this knife for a few years now and I adore it! Not only does it look mighty fine but it cuts amazingly and you can also use its wide blade to scoop up veggies to transfer to your skillet or baking sheet. The perfect gift for any home cook.
FLEUR DE SEL
Meet my favorite salt: Le Saunier De Camargue Fleur De Sel. I simply adore the texture and flavor of this finishing salt. It is light and crunchy and perfect for sprinkling over top sliced tomatoes, salads, pasta, roasted veggies- literally everything. I also love the shape and feel of the container it comes in. I actually order this salt in bulk and refill the smaller container. Try it out for yourself and let me know what you think. I’m guessing you’ll love it just like me.
No.09 VALLEE DE FARNEY
This is my favorite candle, hands down. Not only does it burn slowly but the scent is absolutely divine with notes of grapefruit, patchouli, and vetiver. Buy one as a gift and one for yourself, trust me on this!
SHOYEIDO INCENSE
This incense is always burning in my home. It has such a warm and cozy scent- I find it incredibly relaxing. With notes of cinnamon and frankincense, I cannot recommend it enough.
GLASS BAKING DISH
If you do decide to watch my ‘Easy Baked Rice’ video and you’d like to use the same baking vessel as yours truly- look no further! Here we have one of my favorite baking dishes. Perfect for cooking rice and casseroles, I love how the handles make it easy for placing in and out of the oven, while the lid is great for not only baking but also storing leftovers in the fridge. The best part? It’s only $13 bucks! Tap the link here to check it out.
ARTISANA ORGANICS
Check out my favorite nut and seed butter company: Artisana Organics! Their Hazelnut Cacao Spread is outrageously good and makes for a perfect stocking stuffer. Amazing on toast or simply eaten with a spoon, I promise you will be pleased. Use my discount code MVEGAN for 15% off individual jars.
COLD PRESS JUICER
This is my favorite juicer on the market. It comes in the most beautiful packaging (that you can absolutely reuse!) and the juicer itself is sleek, relatively quiet (compared to other juicers) while also being cold press to preserve the most nutrients. What’s especially nice about this juicer is that you don’t have to chop too much. Simply place your veggies or fruit in the top and the blade will slowly sort and cut through everything. If interested, I just so happen to be an affiliate and they are offering my audience 10% off at checkout using my code TIMOTHY10. You can learn more about the J2 here.
CITRONELLA SEA SALT INCENSE
Sometimes little buggies can feel a bit invasive: I am looking at you mosquitos! To keep them at bay, check out this elegant solution that will also make your outdoor setting inviting and charming. Skeem’s incense contains all-natural citronella, grapefruit, and lemon & lime oil that are blended with sea salt and hints of jasmine. It smells FABULOUS and also has a long burn-time. I have been using these sticks for years and I am happy to share them with you now!

METAL SHOPPING BASKET
I have been using this metal shopping basket for the past year and I love it! Ever since I was in college, I have always had a personal hand-held shopping basket (like the ones you use in the grocery store). I find it so much more effective to use when grocery shopping. I personally don’t love cramming all of my goods into a bag only to then be unpacked moments later. It seems like a waste of time! With this basket, I can plop it on the counter, take my items out, and then place it by the door for next time! This basket is very sturdy and is made well. It’s linked here.
CORINTHIAN BELLS WIND CHIME
I own two Corinthian Bells Wind chimes and I absolutely adore them. They are made well and create the most lovely sounds. They are guaranteed to make your backyard space more beautiful and make for the most thoughtful gifts.
BALOO WEIGHTED COMFORTER
I am OBSESSED with my Baloo weighted comforter. Now, I know this may not be for everyone, but if you like the idea of having a bit of weight on you when you are tucked into bed, this is what you need! I have been using mine for the last year and I sleep so much more deeply because of it. It is so calming and incredibly comforting. Made with 100% cotton (no polyester or synthetic liners) and filled with glass beads, this breathable, weighted blanket creates a cool, deep sleep. (And it’s vegan too.. duh!) Use my discount code MVEGAN10 for 10% off the entire site.
MISSISSIPPI VEGAN COOKBOOK
What gift guide of mine would be complete without my debut cookbook? I took every image and wrote every word in this book. My heart and passion went onto every page! I would be honored for you to gift a copy to someone you love.
WALNUT CUTTING BOARD
I just love this walnut cutting board. I literally use it every day in my kitchen! It comes in a few different sizes but I personally like the 24 inches x 18 inches x 1.5 inches sized board. It makes for a very handsome addition to any kitchen.
AT HOME IN THE WHOLE FOOD KITCHEN
Check out my favorite cookbook by the lovely Amy Chaplin! The majority of the recipes are vegan (all vegetarian!) and they are super wholesome and beautifully created. This is true feel good food people. I love curling up in a cozy spot with a big cup of tea while looking at all of the recipes. I cannot recommend this one enough.
MARSHALL SPEAKER
I absolutely adore my Marshall speaker. It is bluetooth and the quality of sound is amazing. When I say I use it every single day, I am not kidding! I also love the aesthetics and overall design. It fits into my kitchen beautifully. This would make for a fabulous gift!

I am spending this fall all cozy in my favorite chair with your cookbook. My mother passed along the love for food and reading cookbooks. Your book is such a treat. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge with one recipe more enticing than the next. I am making stuffed mushrooms today in honor of your Papa and my sister who turned me on to mushrooms! I love your family included in your writing. Mississippi Vegan isn’t just great recipes. It is the warmest, most satisfying cookbook I have ever owned.
Oh my goodness, this was so touching to read. I can’t thank you enough for these kind words. It truly reminds me why I love my job and motivates me to keep going. I cannot wait for you to see the new book! Thank you for being here. Sending lots of love, T
