Farmhouse Table Shop Holiday Gift Guide
Holiday Gift Guide season is here, and Farmhouse Table Shop is fully stocked with small-batch spreads, New York–made pantry favorites, cozy drink mixers, and thoughtful gifts for every kind of home cook and holiday host. This guide highlights some of our team’s favorite items — including new arrivals we’re excited to share — but there are many more treasures waiting on the shelves when you stop in.
If this is your first time discovering Farmhouse Table Shop, welcome — we’re a neighborhood pantry and provisions store tucked at 4892 St. Paul Boulevard in Irondequoit. Our shelves are filled with the small-batch pantry goods we love — especially New York State makers — and many of those favorites are the products featured in this Holiday Gift Guide.
Alongside our pantry selection, you’ll also find fresh baked treats, rotating soups, cheese and charcuterie, deli case staples, weekly dinner offerings, and the occasional “whatever we feel like making” surprise. It’s the everyday counterpart to our catering kitchen, and a cozy place our regulars pop into often.
For the Baker & Breakfast Lover — Holiday Gift Guide Picks
If someone in your life loves slow mornings, this is the shelf that always stops people in their tracks. Bumbleberry Farms sends us the dreamiest Honey Cream Spreads — flavors like Dark Chocolate, Lemon Vanilla, Sea Salt Caramel, Sweet Orange Cardamom, and Sweet Maple — all perfect for biscuits, pancakes, or a spoonful straight from the jar.
Right beside them sit the bright, creative preserves from BRINS in Brooklyn, including Cherry Chai and Strawberry Lemongrass, both customer favorites. Pair either with a New Hope Mills Apple Crisp Mix from Auburn, NY or a floral Saffron Rose Green Tea from Villa Jerada, and you’ve got a breakfast-themed gift that feels thoughtful and genuinely special. And trust us — there are many more flavors and makers on this shelf than we can fit here.
For the Home Cook & Pantry Nerd — Holiday Gift Guide Favorites
This section is for the person who wants their pantry to feel like a treasure chest. Our shelves are lined with bold, fragrant jars from Villa Jerada — Harissa, Chermoula, Preserved Lemons, crunchy Picholine Olives, and spice blends like Shawarma, Nigella, Shakshuka, and Sumac that instantly elevate weeknight cooking.
Next to them you’ll find elegant olive oil and balsamic trios from Saratoga Olive Oil Co. (Saratoga Springs, NY) — small bottles that pack big flavor. And for the pantry enthusiast who loves exploring new ingredients, the Portuguese tins from José Gourmet (New York distributor) — sardines, tuna pâtés, smoked salmon, and trout — make a stunning addition to charcuterie boards.
Rounded out with Backyard Brine’s Holiday Thyme Pickles from Cutchogue, NY and a dash of Hot Honey Sprinkles from Wood Stove Kitchen, this shelf is a playground for anyone who loves to cook.
For the Cocktail & Mocktail Maker — Holiday Gift Guide Ideas
Whether they love a holiday cocktail or prefer a festive zero-proof drink, the mixer shelf is full of ideas. Wood Stove Kitchen sends us seasonal favorites like Candy Cane Sparkle, Ski Season Sangria, Spiced Apple Hot Toddy, Mulling Syrup, and cozy Mulling Spices — each one turning an ordinary evening into something celebratory. The Winter Survival Kit (Hot Toddy + Mulling Syrup) is a grab-and-go gift with a built-in snow-day vibe.
And if you want something truly classic, Finger Lakes Harvest Glögg (Dundee, NY) is our annual best-seller for mulled wine and cider. Plenty more mixers sit on this shelf, but these are the ones we reach for again and again.
For Cozy Nights In — Holiday Gift Guide Essentials
If the gift you’re giving is meant for someone who’d rather spend the evening wrapped in a blanket, this is the spot to browse. The simmering warmth of Wood Stove Kitchen’s Mulling Spices and Spiced Apple Hot Toddy mix makes any home feel instantly calm, and the citrus-spiced Glögg from Finger Lakes Harvest is one of the most comforting drinks we’ve ever carried.
Add a box of Saffron Rose Green Tea (a floral blend from Villa Jerada) or pair any drink with a Finding Home Farms Gathering Tray from the Hudson Valley (Middletown, NY) — a charming little piece that works as decor, a serving tray, or a catch-all. This is the section for creating rituals at home, and it’s always full of quiet gems.
For the Host (or Houseguest) — Holiday Gift Guide Gifts
These gifts walk into a home and immediately feel right. BRINS Gift Sets from Brooklyn come beautifully boxed and ready to hand off at the door. Saratoga Olive Oil Co.’s 3-pack sets make an elegant, practical “thank you.”
Finding Home Farms offers maple syrup gift boxes and seasonal trios that host families put to use long after the holidays. And for bringing something fun to a party, Backyard Brine’s Holiday Thyme Pickles, José Gourmet tins, and Bumbleberry Farms Honey Cream Spreads always make a charcuterie board better.
Even a Wood Stove Kitchen Winter Survival Kit works perfectly for a host heading into a full week of gatherings. As always — this shelf is overflowing beyond what we can capture here.
For the New York State Superfan — Holiday Gift Guide Highlights
We love this section — it’s the one that celebrates home. Local makers show up everywhere here: Backyard Brine (Cutchogue), BRINS (Brooklyn), New Hope Mills (Auburn), Finding Home Farms (Hudson Valley), Finger Lakes Harvest (Dundee), and Saratoga Olive Oil Co. (Saratoga Springs). And right beside the food gifts are the cheerful travel-inspired magnets, postcards, ornaments, and prints from Lionheart Graphics in Potsdam, NY — everything from Lake Ontario lighthouses to Finger Lakes postcards and Upstate New York orchard scenes. Perfect for someone who grew up here, moved away, or simply loves exploring our region.
Little Things & Stocking Stuffers — Holiday Gift Guide Minis
These tiny gifts have big personality. Mini bottles from Saratoga Olive Oil Co., pocket-sized mixers like Candy Cane Sparkle from Wood Stove Kitchen, Backyard Brine pickles, Lionheart magnets and postcards, tins of seafood from José Gourmet, delicate packs of Saffron Rose Green Tea, and small spice jars from Villa Jerada all fit beautifully into stockings or gift bags. They’re the “just one more thing” additions that finish a gift in the best way.
Build-Your-Own Gift Basket Ideas — Holiday Gift Guide Inspiration
We love helping customers build a basket that feels personal. You might pair Bumbleberry Farms honey cream, BRINS preserves, and Finding Home Farms maple syrup for the breakfast lover; group Villa Jerada spices, preserved lemons, Backyard Brine pickles, and Saratoga olive oil for the home cook; or assemble a cocktail set with Ski Season Sangria, Mulling Syrup, Glögg, and a tin of José Gourmet sardines. The combinations are endless, and our team can help you create something that fits exactly who you’re shopping for.
Whether you’re shopping for a host, a home cook, or someone who loves a good New York–made treat, the shelves at Farmhouse Table Shop are full of thoughtful, small-batch gifts all season long.
