You’ve made a list and checked it twice. Now at the eleventh hour, you remember someone who did you a kindness that you’d like to repay. Here to the rescue are several possible stocking stuffers.

Who wouldn’t appreciate finding a colorful sampler of out-of-the-box flavored coffees and exotic hot chocolate flavors under the tree? The Santa’s Favorites Gift Pack from Two Rivers Coffee Company might be just the ticket, especially if the mercury continues to plummet. The assortment comes beautifully packaged in a festive holiday box for under $30 and makes the ideal gift for stockings, gift exchanges, or a seasonal treat for yourself.

Around since 2009, Supermarket Italy, a one-stop online shop for everything Italian, is also a great resource of obscure products. (Where locally would you turn for a bottle of orgeat syrup, assuming you had the first clue how to use it?) But Supermarket Italy is also a repository for items whose native packaging shouts “gift.” Take, for example, the handsome terra cotta crock in which dried Italian oregano is packaged (pictured above). The product, imported from Calabria, is a mere $7.59. The ceramic bottle in which Song E Napule Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is packaged makes for another memorable keepsake.
