HOLIDAY
GIFT GUIDE
written by Layla Khoury-Hanold
These five hidden gems offer great gift ideas for your favorite foodie.
W
HEN IT COMES TO SUPPORTING small businesses,
Roanoke is spoiled for choice. Happily, that means there
are loads of locally-owned specialty shops and a wide selection
of locally and regionally made goods.
Here are five under-the-radar places to shop for holiday gifts for the
food lover in your life, whether you're in search of custom gourmet gift
baskets, unique kitchen gadgets and serveware, pantry upgrades, sweet
treats or novelty wearables and games.
THE CANDY STORE
Novelty socks, card games and
plenty of candy choices, all at The
Candy Store, make great gifts for
kids of all ages.
The Candy Store is a one-stop-shop for food lovers whose tastes skew
sweet. The walls are lined with a mix-and-match candy buffet featuring
a variety of gummies, hard candies and chocolates, which you can
opt to package in clear bags or cute takeout containers. There's also an
excellent assortment of gourmet chocolates, plus an array of vintage and
international sweets and snacks, such as hard-to-find Kit Kat and Milka
chocolate bar flavors.
You'll also find food-themed gifts scattered throughout the space, such
as candy making kits, over-sized gummy candies, novelty socks for adults
and kids, card games such as Pass the Pasta, and whimsical kitchen gadgets
and accessories like chip clips, dish sponges and tea infusers. Keep an eye
out for video game- and TV-branded items, like energy drinks inspired
by Pac Man or Ted Lasso, ideal for your office gift exchange or white
elephant present swap.
