Do you have any favorite local shops or retailers you like to buy from? I'm looking for somewhere I can buy from online or over the phone.
Thanks!

You looking for anything specific? Baby, kids, adults, home?
For some reason, I can only think of my favorite ice cream shops! Haha
ETA- a friend of ours went to an specialty olive oil shop. They make all kinds of flavors. I can see if I can figure if they do phone or online orders.
-
@bluestriped bee: adults, household things. Got a favorite ice cream shop in Seattle or Mercer Island I could send them a GC to?
And oooo - that edit! That would be great!

@mediagirl: What about Beecher's cheese? All of our friends and family love that stuff!
-
Molly Moons ice cream!! The best
-
@pinkcupcake: agreed! Molly Moons definitely. Also love Cupcake Royale.
-
@MenagerieMama: ooh yes! Although i am personally a bigger fan of Trophy
-
@mediagirl: I really love Parfait Ice Cream.
@pinkcupcake: I've heard of Molly Moons but I haven't been there, yet.
@MenagerieMama: Ah, yeah, Cupcake Royale is good! They have a shop downtown that has ice cream and I tried their Red Velvet ice cream. Yum!!
-
@mediagirl: Another vote for Molly Moons ice cream and Trophy cupcakes. Also there are tons of wineries out there as well as distilleries. Chateau Ste. Michelle is pretty close to seattle. Where do they live?
Theo Chocolates is amazing, they do factory tours. You can buy online https://www.theochocolate.com
-
@Seattlemom: Mercer Island.
-
@mediagirl: Ok, well another foodie recommentations for ya. Salumi has a store front near downtown seattle but you can also order online. Aaamazing cured meats made by Mario Batali's dad:

@pinkcupcake: no way. Royale is better! Although probably because I am in mad love with their dark chocolate ice cream which has nothing to do with cupcakes...but I'm pretty sure I could die happy eating that ice cream!
-
@MenagerieMama: @bluestriped bee: @pinkcupcake: did we start an ice cream war?
-
I second Salumi! Also, Watson & Kennedy is a fancy-schmancy household goods store, they have one location in Pike Place Market and another further south on 1st Ave in Seattle.
-
@mediagirl: Haha! An ice cream and a cupcakes war!
-
@mediagirl: cougar cheese! 30 oz can for less than $25 and it's delish! http://cougarcheese.wsu.edu
-
@mediagirl: I think everyone wins in an ice cream war! Mmm...must go raid the freezer...
-
@MenagerieMama: We should have a Seattle HB meetup where we bring our favorite ice cream and have everyone have a taste. Mmmm, yum!
-
@bluestriped bee: I'm temporarily out of Seattle for the academic year (this thread is bittersweet with cravings I can't access yet!) but I would be all for it this summer!!
-
Clover toys if there are any kids in the home. It is the best toy store I've ever been to. Child Trek toys is in Tacoma I think, they are also very good.
We love Molly Moons. I'm terrible because I can't remember if I like Cupcake Royale or Trophy better. I think Trophy is better if I recall!
Sound Spirits has my favorite gin in the world if you are looking for a more adult festive gift. Salumi is a great suggestion. I'm trying to think of awesome places on the East Side but am drawing a blank.
What I wouldn't give to go to Red Mill Burger again soon. Oh and Serious Pie. Must eat some Serious Pie (pizza)!
-
Another vote for Cupcake Royale! Seriously so good
-
OMDL, I have no idea of they do gift cards, but the best sandwich I've ever hand in the history of ever was at Rain Shadow Meats Squared. You can ask them if they'll mail a gift card- holy crap, it was so good.
And oooo - that edit! That would be great!
