Made-in-Delaware Holiday Gift Guide
Looking to share a bit of Delaware with your loved ones this holiday season? Check out our Delaware Gift Guide below to find seven fun, unique and delightful gift ideas that support everything from local orchards and ceramicists to restaurants and candlemakers.
1. Jam and Apple Butter from Fifer Orchards
Local orchards are an idyllic part of the Delaware landscape, which is why you should definitely indulge your loved ones in a generous round of jam and apple butter from Fifer Orchards. Spread it on warm, heavily buttered toast. Swirl it into a yogurt bowl for an afternoon snack. Or do what we love best – eat it by the spoonful right out of the jar.

3. Ceramic Beer Growlers From Romanick Pottery
It’s not every day you see a ceramic beer growler. But when you spot one, you can’t help but want one for yourself. Romanick Pottery is your one-stop shop for anyone on your Christmas list who enjoys a cold brew every now and again. And if you want to take things a little further, consider letting them create a custom beer stein for you.
4. Gift Card to Yarn Maven
Got any crafty creatives on your shopping list this year? A gift card to Yarn Maven could be the perfect present for them. From yarn and notions to hooks and needles, you could easily order enough goodies to create a custom gift basket. Or if you happen to be looking for something more hands-on, consider treating your loved one to one of the shop’s many upcoming classes.
5. Habbersett Scrapple
Scrapple, for those of you who are unfamiliar, is similar to meatloaf but is often pan-fried before serving. It’s a Pennsylvania Dutch creation and delightfully popular among Delawareans. So if you can’t whip up a tasty homemade version to gift your dear friend this season, you can happily order this four pack to be delivered right to their door.

6. Wax and Wick Candles
Few people will turn up their nose at a candle, especially one from Wax and Wick. These cheery, non-toxic gifts use all manner of natural ingredients and even come in masculine fragrances, which means they are fair game to anyone on your shopping list. We’re particularly drawn to the Blue Pine, with its citrus, cedarwood and pine notes. But if you want something a little more seasonal, take a look at Mulled Cider.
7. Pizza Delivery From Nicola
Remember how fun it was to have pizza delivered to your door as a child? Re-create that memory for your favorite gift recipient this year with a pizza delivery from Nicola. One of the best things about this particular present is that you can have frozen items delivered, which means your loved one’s zip code is way less of a concern. And if you’re having a hard time deciding what to send, you can’t go wrong with a case of Nic-o-boli.
