Nucifera Body

 

Technically not a food item, but hear me out. Meredith Baird is a raw, vegan chef and cookbook author who turned her skills into the most heavenly body products. Her ingredients are, of course, so good you could eat it (but, like, don’t eat it). Her curated line of small batch body product are all multi-use, genderless, plant based and made with the cleantest ingredients. My favorite product is The Stick. Its great for healing up my dry cracked hands after months of washing them every 5 minutes . . . And it all smells AMAZING

Hinterland Empire Coffee

One of my absolute favorite humans (Alex Cichon) is half the duo that roasts this lovely coffee.

They offer subscriptions and the coffee is only $12.50 a bag!!! The Chiapas is my favorite.

Oaktown Spice Shop

This is one of the best spice shops in the country! When it opened in Oakland, in a former barber shop, the walls were lined with jars upon jars of the most aromatic and beautiful spices i had ever seen. The shichimi togarashi spice blend made its way onto many bay area menus that year. There are gift boxes available, and the bakers delight box has everything you need in your sweet spice arsenal.

Now based online, they sell hand tie dyed shirts and socks that are super affordable, and you can feel good about diverting your dollars to a Black, Queer owned small business. They also have home goods, candles and unique jewelry!

Laurie Shapiro 

 Known for her immersive installation artworks, Laurie Shapiro is one of our favorite artists. Luckily, you can purchase a little piece of her work right on her website! The coolest thing she makes, these glowing balls of rainbow-y floral light, have been translated into something you can easily display at home: a limited edition, hand painted drum lampshade. She's got prints and apparel too but I think the lampshade is the most unique gift ever!
