With the holiday party season getting into full swing, one question begs to be answered by Seattle families. What do you bring the hostess with the mostest when the Pike Place Market bouquets aren’t in season? We’ve rounded up eight festive ideas from local cookbooks to socks that rock, all of which are sure to land you a firm spot on the “nice” list this year. Be our guest!

For the Cool Family

Warm up the chilly bunch with a tin of European style drinking chocolate from local sweet shop, Chocolopolis. It’s a cuddly, fireside, winter-must that comes in dark (55%), milk (38%), spicy (72%), peanut butter (55%) or peppermint (white chocolate) flavors, packaged in festive 10 oz. tins. And if you’re not quite sure which flavor to choose, try a sampling of two or three that come prepackaged at the store. It’s a warm chocolaty hug in a mug!

Find it: Pick some up at their Queen Anne location or online.
Cost: $16.99
