Thanksgiving host gifts

Unique Thanksgiving host gifts under $25

Under $25 is plenty for a good host gift if it comes from someone who makes one thing well. Pumpkin maple butter from Blake Hill in Vermont, pumpkin spice creamed honey from Pearl Honey Spreads, cranberry salsa from Savannah Sauce Company, bourbon smoked pecans from Kentucky. Every pick is in stock and under $25 before shipping.

8 picks, in stock today. Each ships straight from its maker.

Two small things beat one big one

Pair a jar with something to eat it with: pumpkin maple butter and a bag of maple sea salt cashews, or creamed honey and a muslin bag of caramel apple pie tea. Still under $25 for many pairs.

Keep it shelf-stable

Jams, honey, nuts and tea travel well and keep for weeks, so the host can enjoy them after the holiday.

Good to know

What is a good Thanksgiving hostess gift under $25?

Pumpkin maple butter ($9.99), pumpkin spice creamed honey ($13), cranberry salsa ($10), bourbon smoked pecans ($14) and a three-honey flight ($21.99) are all on this page and in stock.

Are these really under $25?

Every pick here is priced under $25 before shipping and is in stock right now. Prices come straight from the makers.

Will it get there before Thanksgiving?

Each maker ships on its own schedule, and the product page says what that maker can do. Shelf-stable items are the safest bet close to the day. If timing matters, order early so it arrives a few days ahead.

How does shipping work?

Each maker packs and ships its own items, so shipping is each maker's own rate, shown at checkout, usually $8 to $15 for one item. Anything else from the same maker goes in the same box. Perishables like cheese go out Monday to Wednesday in insulated packaging.
