Staff Picks

Not sure where to start? These are the ones we'd grab first if the house were on fire.

I approve of all of this. Cash approves of some of it.

About these gifts

About our staff picks

Cash wrote the long version. He likes footnotes.

Staff Picks are the gifts we reach for first when someone asks what to buy. Right now that means our handmade crackers with snaps, made in Sarasota, Florida in boxes of six for Christmas, Thanksgiving and Halloween tables, and a heavyweight cotton bat woven tapestry that works as a blanket or a wall hanging.

Every cracker holds a paper party hat, a joke and a small prize, and every box comes with or without snaps. The woven bat blanket comes in three sizes from lap to queen.

Shipping is free across the USA. Crackers usually arrive in 3 to 9 business days and woven blankets in 4 to 10. Rusty approved all of them. Cash approved the expensive ones.
