It’s that time of year again where you may feel compelled to buy extended family Christmas gifts or your office has you stuck in some Secret Santa gifting pool. It’s often challenging to figure out what to buy someone – especially that friend who has everything or a coworker you barely know. Here are some of our favorite finds from $5 to $100+ to spark your holiday spending and satisfy everyone on your list.

Oryx Desert Salt for the foodie

For those who love to cook, you know the importance of salt. Oryx makes pure unrefined desert salt harvested from the Kalahari Desert in South Africa from an ancient underground brine lake. Founded by a single mom entrepreneur after an inspirational walk in the Namib Desert, the pure crystal salt is unrefined and unprocessed as it is procured from a sun-dried method, creating an exceptional taste.

Order a special Combo Set with wine salt and smoked salt. Recyclable glass bottles with a long-lasting ceramic grinder are part of the company’s mission to refill and reuse.

For every bag of salt sold, a percentage is donated to the Khomani San and Mier communities who own Ixaus Lodge in the Kalahari Desert. Find Oryx Desert Salt in Whole Foods or online at Amazon (with more options coming in January).
