2025 Virginia Foodie Gift Guide
The holiday season is in full swing and we’re here to help with your holiday shopping! You can add meaningful impact to your gifting by shopping for locally-made products supporting small businesses. To help you out, we’ve compiled this list of Virginia-made gifts that will please every foodie on your list.
Seasonal Roots Subscription
Give the gift of fresh, local produce! Seasonal Roots is like an online farmers market, based in Virginia. They make it easy to get fresh, locally-sourced produce, dairy, meats, baked goods, and more, delivered right to your doorstep. It’s a great way to support farmers in our area! Plus, you can use our code VAFOODIE to save money on your first order!
Discover Richmond Food Tours
If you’re looking for an experience gift, consider buying a Discover Richmond Food Tour gift certificate! They have tons of interactive food tours around Richmond as well as brewery tours, tacky light tours, and more. Even if you live in Richmond, you’ll learn something new on these guided tours!
Red Root & Co Shrubs
Infused with the finest botanicals, Red Root & Co. Shrubs are concentrated syrups made with top-notch ingredients. These shrubs make great mixers for mocktails and cocktails!
Lammar Marie’s Popcorn
Let’s face it, some people are hard to buy for. Luckily, everyone loves popcorn. This locally made popcorn comes in tons of fun flavors and combinations so you can put together a fun gift basket that is perfect for everyone from your in-laws to your coworkers. Visit their Richmond store or shop online!
Food Bank Donations
No one can thrive on an empty stomach, and food insecurity is still a concern across the state. This year, help your neighbors by donating to the Community Fridges, Feed More, Blue Ridge Area Food Bank or the Feeding America organizations that support food banks in your region. You can give on behalf of a loved one, and you both get a special note stating a gift was made in their name.
Keya’s Snacks
If you have a chip lover in your life, give them the gift of flavor with Keya’s Snacks! Her Bombay Spice and Black Salt potato chips are a must-try. You can find them at local markets all around the state!
Blanchards Coffee
We love Blanchard’s Coffee, and we always stock up on the holiday blend. Their roasted beans make a great gift for the coffee lover in your life! We usually snag it at Ellwood Thompsons, but it’s now sold in Target stores so it’s easy to order online!
Gearharts Chocolate
Ok, ok, we’ll admit it. Gearharts Chocolates are on our gift guide list nearly every year, but it’s because their chocolate is so good! Their new Merry Mint Bark is made with white and dark chocolates infused with peppermint and topped with crushed peppermint candy. (The bark is made at their facility, under their sister brand James River Chocolate Co.)
Cirrus Vodka
Cirrus Vodka is triple-distilled from high-quality, nonGMO Russet Potatoes before passing through an 8-step charcoal filtration process. Then it rests before bottling. Nearly 90% of vodkas come from corn, rye, and other grains, but Cirrus believes potatoes give a smoother, full-bodied flavor with a creamier, sippable profile. Smoothness aside, the latest addition to their product line, Cirrus Jala-Piña, will give your taste buds a much bigger kick. Not sure what to mix it with? Try the Jala-Piña Cocktail Kit that will give you everything you need to whip up tasting cocktails.
