Homemade butters and dips are another great option for holiday gifts. At Old Town Spice Shop, we have a variety of flavorings and spices that can be used to make both savory and sweet butter spreads.
For a savory option, mix garlic salt and rosemary into softened butter and chill until firm. You can also infuse butter with any of our flavored popcorn seasonings in flavors like Parmesan Garlic mixed with a dash of dried parsley, or Jalapeno and White Cheddar mixed with a sprinkle of dried cilantro. For sweet butter, use a mixer to whip softened butter with any of our flavored sugars and flavorings like strawberry, blueberry, cinnamon apple, maple, orange-cranberry, and pumpkin spice.
When it comes to dips, the possibilities are endless. Gather a variety of small glass carafes that come with cork lids and fill them with olive oil and/or different types of vinegar like red wine or balsamic. Experiment with herb and spice blends to create unique flavors. Alternatively, you can pick up any of our pre-mixed dip blends like Herb Delight, Pesto Parmesan, or Tuscan Tomato to mix with the olive oil.
Want to add a creamy dip to your gift basket? Simply blend a half cup of light sour cream with a half cup of softened light plain cream cheese and pour into a mason jar as the base for our pre-mixed French Onion, Beer Cheese Pub, or Caramelized Onion Roasted Garlic dips. And voila! Don’t forget to add different types of crackers, crispy baguettes, and sweet breads to your gift basket to accompany all of your delicious butter spreads and dips!
Who doesn't love a warm, comforting drink during the cold winter months? Create a gift basket filled with different flavors of gourmet drinks, complete with toppings and garnishes like marshmallows, chocolate chips, cinnamon sticks, and star anise.

Nuts are a classic snack food, especially during the holidays, but when they’re roasted with exciting flavors — they become a gift-worthy indulgence! Choose your favorite nuts (peanuts, almonds, cashews, and pecans work well) and season them with different flavors like rosemary and sea salt, everything bagel seasoning, or cinnamon sugar. Roast them in the oven until golden and fragrant, then package them up in pretty jars or tins wrapped in festive ribbons. This gift is perfect for anyone who loves a little something to munch on during the holidays.
For the adults on your list, put together a fun and unique boozy gift basket featuring different spices and seasoning blends along with a variety of liquors to create indulgent and festive cocktails. Pair our Chai Spiced Hot Cocoa with a shooter of bourbon, or our Traditional Hot Cocoa with a shooter of peppermint Schnapps. Add a packet or two of our Spiced Apple Cider or Pumpkin Spiced Apple Cider to pair with a shooter of Spiced Rum. Elevate this boozy gift box with our Hopped Up Chocolate Stout Coffee and pair it with a shooter of Bailey's Irish Cream. For an extra special touch, add garnishes like cinnamon sticks or star anise.
