Last Crumb The Core Collection ($120 for a dozen at Lastcrumb.com)
The packaging alone impressed me, and then I tasted all the fantastic flavors in the Core Collection. The cookies are freshly baked and hefty – perfect for sharing. The recipes are unique and indulgent, featuring flavors like The Floor Is Lava (Chocolate Lava) and Everything But the Candles (Birthday Cake).
The Core Collection The Core Collection includes a dozen handmade cookies and would make an excellent gift for someone special. Check out this TikTok from KeithLee125, which has over 11.6M views.
Wacaco Minipresso GR2 ($59.90, Amazon)
If you travel and enjoy a perfect cup of joe on the go, this handy gadget is a worthwhile purchase. It makes 8g or 12g of rich espresso with no power required, so it’s perfect for use wherever your adventures take you.

Taste Flavor Co Taste of Everything Bundle ($46.99 for the bundle. $8.99 each, Amazon)
Health-conscious foodies are loving these flavorful sauces that are 10 calories or less, gluten-free, and oil-free.
The Taste of Everything Bundle includes five sauces that can be used for marinating, grilling, and dipping. Flavors include Spicy Garlic Parmesan (my favorite) and Hot Honey Sriracha. Check out this video from founder Joey Swoll, which has 2M views.
TABASCO® Brand Salsa Picante ($3.49, Amazon)
Another fun option for foodies is this Benny Blanco and Tabasco collab. Benny Blanco is not only a music producer and Selena Gomez’s beau, he is also a cookbook author who has gained fame on TikTok for his unusual food creations.
The Salsa Picante is thicker than your typical Tabasco, and it adds a pop of flavor and subtle heat to your Tex-Mex favorites. I tried it with a cheese and bean quesadilla, and it provided the perfect blend of spice and tang. Check out this TikTok from Benny Blanco, which has 5 million views, where Benny makes a batch of “one bite” nachos, topped off with the new Salsa Picante.
Island Way Sorbet ($18.49 for a 10-piece variety pack, Target)
These sorbets are made from hand-picked fruits and other non-GMO ingredients and come in natural fruit shells, making them perfect for entertaining or even pleasing fussy eaters.
The sorbets are delicious and free from preservatives, artificial flavors, and colors. They are available in individual flavors and variety packs, like this one from Target, which includes coconut, lemon, red berry & grapefruit (delicious even if you don’t love grapefruit), and orange.
