Experiences create life-long memories. This lists details gifts for the family, gifts for hard-working parents (hello!), gifts for home chefs, a few ideas for when you need a little bit of luxury in your life, and a few general can’t-go-wrong gifts. All handpicked by ME xxoo, Katie Button

FOR THE FAMILY

Discovery+ Subscription Until 2022, this is the only place you’ll be able to catch me on my new Magnolia Network series, From the Source, along with all the other amazing and family-friendly programming. And – it’s only $4.99 per month!  Don’t forget to download the Magnolia App on your phone – the content is free with a Discovery+ subscription, and it’s the only way to watch my Magnolia Workshop, Cooking Techniques. 

Tree Weaves In the mountains, many of us have a sloped property that makes it tough for the kiddos to play. Let me tell you, Tree Weaves is the answer! Lalo and Gisela LOVE IT.

Gift card to La Bodega by Cúrate Live in Asheville or visiting soon? Think Saturday morning, European-style, with a coffee, croissant sandwich and a xuixo. It makes for an excellent family excursion. Felix brings us these treats every weekend!

FOR THE HARD-WORKING PARENT

Dare to Lead by Brene Brown Our leadership team is reading this together right now, and we’re feeling majorly inspired. Don’t miss the podcasts! Find it at Malaprop’s

Katie’s Spanish Pantry Favorites from Cúrate at Home Give them a few tricks to brighten up a weeknight meal. These are my personal pantry favorites – I love the versatility! 

Counter Culture Coffee Gift Subscription  Don’t sleep on this one, parents NEED coffee. 

Membership to Cúrate Spanish Wine Club Carefully sourced, educational, and super fun. Sign up for monthly 3-bottle shipments with no commitment. 

FOR THE HOME CHEF

Cúrate at Home Experience The chefs at Cúrate have already done most of the heavy lifting on this at-home experience. It’s up to your favorite cook to bring it to life.

Sea Island Forge Paella Kit If you haven’t had a chance to explore the Sea Island Forge Kettle, you’ve got to take a look. It’s a fire pit, grill, paella-cooking device and epic party centerpiece! We’ve put together this kit specifically for the size of paella pan that fits the Paella Rig designed by the Sea Island Forge team, with input from yours truly! If you don’t have the full rig, check out our Paella Starter Kit, which can be cooked on any stovetop or grill.

Local Honey We buy honey from honey and the hive in Weaverville. They sell it online, so you can order anytime – or visit their storefront in downtown Weaverville!  23 Merrimon Ave, Weaverville, NC | 828-484-9466

Gangy Can Opener A chef-style stocking stuffer, the industry loves these ingenious kitchen tools. They are uncomplicated and efficient. 

A LITTLE BIT OF LUXURY

Billy Reid If you’re looking for long-term wardrobe staples – the clothes that last forever, and are consistently comfortable and high quality, check out BIlly Reid. This might be Felix’s favorite shirt of all time. 

Cúrate Trips  There’s still limited availability for the Basque Country in 2022! If the one you love is a jet-setter that’s lingered stateside for too long, we can help fix that – in the most epic way possible! How does San Sebastian sound?

Whole Jamon from Cúrate at Home In Spain during the holidays, it’s a tradition to purchase a whole jamon to snack on throughout the season. It sits on counters across the country, just take a small sliver when you walk by, make a quick and tasty sandwich, or wow your dinner guests – you really can’t go wrong. 

FOR ANYONE

Gift Cards to Cúrate or Cúrate at Home Regardless where your gift recipient’s location, we can get the Spanish experience into their hands (and bellies!). Stop by Cúrate at Home to shop the full gift card selection. 

Cúrate: Authentic Spanish Recipes from an American Kitchen We just restocked the online store with signed copies. Want it personalized? Just tell us in the notes and I’ll make it happen.
