There’s always at least one person on your shopping list who is, well, let’s just say a bit of a challenge when it comes to gift giving. It might feel like you’re running out of time, but the vendors at Dallas Farmers Market are here for you! Head to The Shed for these and other handmade Texas goods that are sure to please –
All Things Flowers: As a family-owned flower farm located in Dallas, All Things Flowers offers fresh cut flowers, fruits, and vegetables, as well as a variety of health and skincare products created from herbs and flowers grown in their garden. For something truly special this holiday season, don’t miss their offering of floral glass ornaments perfect for the nature lover or the relative who likes to dig in the dirt.
Bee & Brew: Make your recipient feel like royalty with the unique gift of mead from Bee & Brew. Often referred to as honey wine, mead was consumed during celebrations in the Viking culture, so what better time to give it a try than when together over the holidays?
John David’s Toffee: Candy is always a safe bet, but take it up a notch to something truly decadent with John David’s Toffee. Made with rich Belgian chocolate and containing no preservatives or gluten, this gift option is the result of years of experimentation to produce a toffee that is not too hard and has a perfect combination of flavors. Added bonus, he’s already created holiday boxed sets ready for a bow.
Letter Lounge: Letter Lounge isn’t just for lovers of the written word, but for anyone who would be charmed by rescued books beautifully hand carved into custom, one-of-a-kind alphabet letters, numbers, and symbols. Founder Mike Clem considers himself a craftsman and an artist who carefully considers each reclaimed book’s story as he transforms it into a piece of typographical art.
Pepperona Peppers: A favorite no matter what time of year, Pepperona Peppers hot sauces and spiced jams hit particularly well when there’s a chill in the air. From Hatch Chile to Hot Chocolate, grab a bunch of bottles to stuff the stocking of your culinary adventurer.
Toasted Simple: What started as an idea to create a better Old Fashioned quickly turned into a full-fledged business venture for the two friends behind Toasted Simple who now offer a selection of all-natural, small-batch simple syrups that are perfect for any cocktail or mocktail. From sweet and fruity to spicy and savory, there’s a Toasted Simple syrup for everyone, we promise.
Last minute doesn’t mean less thought when you have a sleigh-full of authentic, handmade, Texan possibilities found at the Dallas Farmers Market. Shop small and support local this holiday season, and give something truly special.
P.S. Don’t forget there’s one last chance to discover the loving tradition and all the varieties at Tamales Weekend this Saturday, Dec. 21st from 9 a.m. and Sunday, Dec. 22nd from 10 a.m. We recommend that you visit early for best selection.
