Made by Portland's Pigeon Toe Ceramics, this compact cellar turns loose salt into a proper pinch bowl. A practical housewarming gift with real staying power. Fill it with kosher salt beside the stove, or add a bag of flake and you've built a small gift set.

Customer review: “I bought these salt cellars as gifts for friends that live outside of Oregon. They are nicely made and were well received.”

Steak Seasoning, House Special Seasoning, and Italian Seasoning in one compact set. Rub the Steak Seasoning on a chop, dust the Italian blend over roasted potatoes, and keep the House Special within reach for everything else.

Customer review: “All of these spices are great. I use the house spice on everything. I highly recommend this set.”

– Angie

A limited-edition trio of Pure Flake, Pure Kosher, and Infused Pinot Noir in refillable slide tins, illustrated by artist Kate Towers. One of the more unique housewarming gifts on this list, and as nice on a shelf as it is at the stove. The Pinot Noir tin is the standout: try it over dark chocolate or a seared steak.

All three Pure Sea Salt grain sizes, flake, kosher, and fine, for baking, cooking, and finishing. The useful housewarming gift that covers every job in a new kitchen: fine for baking and doughs, kosher for seasoning as you go, flake for the finish.

Customer review: “The fine Italian sea salt has become my go-to baking salt, the flake sea salt makes for a fancy finish, and the kosher is an everyday workhorse.”

– Mandy

Yuzu from Kawanehon, Japan folded into Pure Flake Sea Salt, made in partnership with Snow Peak. Tart, floral, mildly sweet. A unique housewarming gift under $20 that reads as exceptionally thoughtful. Finish grilled fish, a bowl of rice, or a fruit salad. More under $50 in our gifts under $50 collection.

Customer review: “Such a wonderful taste. It makes noodles come alive. I'm back for more before they're gone!”

– Lee

Black Pepper Salt, Pure Flake Sea Salt, and Steak Seasoning: everything to season, marinate, and finish over fire. A practical housewarming gift for friends christening a new grill. Rub the Steak Seasoning onto a ribeye, then finish with flake salt right off the heat.

Customer review: “We added these seasonings to our steaks and they were the BEST steaks we have ever had!! So good!!”

– Traci

Fresh lemon zest folded into flake salt, paired with a matching refillable pocket tin. A nice housewarming gift for anyone who cooks with brightness: fish, salads, vegetables. Finish grilled asparagus or a fillet of salmon with a pinch just before serving.

Black garlic, Pure Kosher Sea Salt, sun-dried tomato, three chiles, cacao nibs from Portland's Cloudforest, and mushroom. Savory, complex, with real heat. A useful housewarming gift for the cook who wants one jar that makes everything taste better: roasted vegetables, popcorn, a fried egg.

Customer review: “Added some great oomph to my boring bean soup!”

– Gayla

A collection of Pure Sea Salt products hand-harvested from Netarts Bay, Oregon. For a couple who wants a story behind what's in their pantry, this is it. Great on scrambled eggs the first slow morning in the new place, and in the pasta water every night after.

Customer review: “Perfect for gifting. The sea salt is always well received and delicious.”

– Teri

Pure Flake Sea Salt with ground Italian white truffle and white truffle tincture. Powerful, unmistakable aromatics, and a little goes a long way. Finish hand-cut fries, buttered pasta, or a soft scramble. One of the most luxury housewarming gifts we make.

Customer review: “Other white truffle salts don't even come close. The texture is amazing as well as the flavor. Pairs perfectly with beef!”

– Justin

Salt discs for pasta water, each one 10 grams of Pure Fine Sea Salt from our partners in Trapani, Italy. Drop a disc into boiling water for perfectly seasoned pasta and vegetables, no guessing. A genuinely unique housewarming gift for anyone who cooks pasta regularly.

Customer review: “Makes a perfectly salted pan of water for cooking pasta or boiling potatoes. So easy to use, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.”

– Gwynne

Black Garlic Salt, Garlic Salt, and Black Garlic Ginger Salt: three shades of savory depth. The house-fermented black garlic brings a slightly sweet umami, and the ginger version (made with Burlap & Barrel's heirloom Buffalo Ginger) adds warmth. Dust the Black Garlic Salt over smashed potatoes or a burger.

Customer review: “These salts are the Bomb! We use these for everything; they are delicious.”

– Colleen

Creamy, golden, chewy caramels with a flash of sea salt. A great housewarming gift when you want something everyone will love. Bring a box to the first dinner in the new place, or pair it with a bigger gift. If they lean chocolate, the Salty Chocolate Caramels ($13) are the move.

Customer review: “Just the right amount of everything. Butter, cream, salt, texture. Love them.”

– Corey

Flake salt infused with Oregon Pinot Noir from Landmass Wines, with rich aromatics and a sweet red-fruit flavor. A cute, unexpected housewarming gift that punches well above its price. Sprinkle it over dark chocolate, roasted beets, or a seared steak. It lasts far longer than a bottle.

Customer review: “Super tasty with beef and hearty vegetables such as broccoli and asparagus. I love the color as well.”

– Bonnie

Our best-selling Pure Flake Sea Salt paired with a handcrafted cellar from Portland's Pigeon Toe Ceramics, in three coastal colorways. The cellar lives beside the stove while they cook and moves to the table as that finishing touch for any meal. A nice housewarming gift that gets reached for every day.

Customer review: “After tasting your Flaky Salt on a steak or on a baguette topped with butter it always ends the same way: 'Wow - the best I ever had!'”

– Sascha

Pure Kosher Sea Salt and Pure Fine Sea Salt, the two salts every kitchen needs. Kosher for seasoning as you cook, fine for baking. About as practical a housewarming gift as it gets: the first thing you reach for and the thing that always runs out.

Customer review: “This salt tastes so clean! I am really enjoying cooking and baking with it.”

– Marianne

Our most giftable set: a collection of our most beloved salts, a Ceramic Arch Salt Cellar, and a guide to get them started, all in a gift box with slide tins. It's a luxury housewarming gift that feels generous without being fussy. Tell them to start with a pinch of flake salt over sliced tomatoes and olive oil.

– Jessie
