Whole Foods for Great Quick Gifts
I usually zip in and out of Whole Foods with my cart of food so I don’t always notice their other great stuff. I went today with just my camera — no wallet and no shopping list — and I was AMAZED to find that you can almost do your entire holiday gift shopping there. It’s a great option if you are pressed for time or want to combine gift shopping with grocery shopping.
Capability:Mom found some great stuff too, both at Whole Foods (we notice different things) and at gourmet speciality shops.
How is your holiday shopping going? Are you finding great items in unexpected places too?
Whole Foods has great Chanukah or stocking stuffers!
I found lots of great eco-friendly toys for kids of all ages. It’s a veritable toy store at Whole Foods right now!
These bamboo brain teasers come in all kinds of configurations.
This kit to teach kids to knit looks perfect for my kids!
There are lots of Melissa and Doug toys too!
Hostess and Last Minute Gifts for Friends from Whole Foods
The Lemon Cypress has a wonderful lemony fragrance and the Rosemary Topiary can be used for cooking long after the holidays are over.
Lovely candles help create a festive ambiance.
Gourmet Delights
I’d be thrilled to get some fancy spices or salt! It’s a great gift for someone who loves to cook! I especially love the nice packaging!
Artisanal salami with fancy cheese and crackers make a nice hostess gift that would come in handy during this busy entertaining season!
Yoga Gifts at Whole Foods
It’s so convenient to find high quality yoga products at Whole Foods!

Love the rosemary tree! Our is still holding strong in the garden but the little trees are so nice in the dead of winter.

Hi Emily,
I didn’t realize it was so easy to kill. Can’t believe your rosemary tree can winter over in Boston! Good to know! My smaller rosemary plants never make it through.

If I can keep the tree alive for more than three weeks I will plant it, too! I may need some green advice, Emily! Love Whole Foods and the kids gifts are adorable!

Wow, I didn’t realize they sold so many non-food items. I usually shop at Trader Joe’s instead…

Hi MaryAnne,
I think the gifts at Whole Foods is just for the holiday season but they usually have yoga stuff, cook books and a smaller selection of toys and gifts. It can get dangerous!
