25 local gifts for Twin Cities food lovers this holiday season

From coffee and cocktail kits to Juicy Lucy kits and oyster art, there are plenty of ideas from local businesses for nearly everyone on your list.

Santa isn’t the only one making lists and checking them twice. But unlike the list, ours has gifts for everyone — naughty, nice or somewhere in between — and supports local businesses.

Have a treasured friend? Give the treasure of oyster-shell art. There’s also no shortage of options for cocktail and coffee lovers, or for those who have yet to meet a condiment they didn’t want to try. Cookies, bread subscriptions, an at-home Juicy Lucy kit and cotton candy? Check. And we didn’t forget the dog, either.

So rest easy, weary shoppers; buying will be easy. Not keeping everything for yourself is another story.
