As we herald the return of holiday parties and in-person merrymaking, it behooves us all to keep our pantries stocked with beautiful and delicious foods that can be wrapped with a bow and given as hostess gifts (or cracked open in case of midnight snack emergencies). One of the things I love so much about living in Seattle is the abundance of both fresh produce and locally made gourmet goods, so I've rounded up a dozen of my tried-and-true favorites. Here's to spreading some holiday cheer and supporting a small business while you're at it.

Row 1: Yoka Miso traditional soybean miso // Girl Meets Dirt Island Plum spoon preserves // The Whale Wins eggnog (available in person at the Larder)

Row 2: Hot Cakes smoked chocolate chips // Local Goods Orcas Roast French roast coffee // Mustard and Co. classic mustard

Row 3: Theo Nutcracker brittle chocolate bar // San Juan Island Sea Salt sour salt // Apple State Vinegar raw apple cider vinegar
