Cheese or cheesecurds

Pair your wine with Minnesota Grown cheese! A wide variety of options are available including cheddar, brie, and Havarti. If you are hosting a party, impress your guests with a local cheese and meat tray.

Poinsettias

This winter-blooming plant is a classic holiday decoration. In addition to the traditional red or white, poinsettias come in a variety of colors including pink, marble, and salmon. Save a lightly lit, non-drafty space for your poinsettia.

Yarn or Wool

For a ready-made gift, you can find locally grown and crafted gloves, hats, socks, and more! For the do-it-yourselfer, buy yarn and wool for them to knit or felt.

Jam or Jelly

Why not pair a variety of jams with Minnesota Grown goat cheese, for a locally-grown gift basket? With flavors ranging from grape and strawberry to the more unique like rhubarb/ginger and black currant, it’s hard to choose just one!

Soaps

Minnesota winters are cold – stay warm and cozy with a spa day! Pair locally-made soap with lotion, salve, and beeswax candles to make a Minnesota Grown spa kit.
