I am starting to put together my holiday shopping list and thought that I would share some unique, unusual gift ideas with you.

• Olio2Go – Italy’s Finest Olive Oils – I learned of Olio2Go while attending The Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show a few years back. I bought at least 4 excellent bottles of Olive Oil for gifts. However, I ended up keeping most for myself and placing an additional order for my friends. Olio2Go also has a nice selection of vinegars, jams, sea salts and more. Olive Oils start at $15. Bonus: They’re headquartered in Fairfax, VA.

  

• Grill Charms – I learned of these while watching Shark Tank on ABC. Grill Charms™ are dime-sized solid stainless steel charms that are placed in food BEFORE grilling to identify either the meat’s intended temperature or spiciness. 6 charms for $19.95

  

• Little Miss Matched – sells crazy, unique socks in sets of three as well as other mis-matched items (Pajamas, Hats, Tights, Scarves, and more) I love these! Starting at $4.00.
  

  GreenCookingPots

  
  Green Pots – eco friendly “green” cookware. Greencookingpots are made of enameled cast iron and are free of any chemicals, making them a great alternative to potentially toxic cookware and making healthy cooking affordable and simple. Individual pans start at $33.58 and Sets start at $135.98.

  Know of some other great gift ideas? Please leave your favorites in the comments section. I will create additions to the list as we get closer to the holidays.
