The holidays are fast approaching. Do you know what you’re getting everyone on your shopping list?

For a lot of us, there’s nothing better when the weather outside is chilly than the taste ofchili peppers. Bell peppers! Cayenne peppers! Jalapeno peppers! A little chili heat is a good way to keep warm during the Christmas season.

Are you stumped about what to get that person in your life wholoooves spicy food? If so, Grandma Jones is here to help. Sweet ‘n’ spicy homemade Pepper Jelly makes for a great stocking stuffer. Even better, why not put together a spicy gift basket full of Pepper Jelly, Mexican chocolate, hot sauce, and other tasty treats?

5 Great Spicy Gift Ideas for Friends and Family

Need some suggestions about what to get for someone who likes spicy food? No one loves spicy food quite like the Jones family does, so we’ve got plenty of recommendations of great stuff to include in a spicy gift basket. Here are five of our favorites:

1. Mexican-Style Chocolate Bars

Mexican chocolate is renowned for its unique flavor, being higher in sugar content than American chocolate, while also integrating ingredients that are considered unusual north of the border. Chocolate bars made with guajillo or chipotle chilis offer an addictive balance of candy sweetness, rich cacao complexity, and sizzling heat.

2. ‘On the Go’ Hot Sauce Keychains

Every spice-lover knows what it’s like to end up in a restaurant that doesn’t have hot sauce on the table. Help your friends and family members avoid this horrific fate by making sure they’re never without the flavor they crave. Some of the most popular brands, including Jones family favorites like Cholula and Huy Fong Sriracha, are available in pocket-size keychain bottles. They’re convenient, durable, fun, and (best of all) refillable.

3. Grandma Jones’ Pepper Jelly

When we said that our Pepper Jelly was ideal for those seeking spicy gift ideas, we weren’t kidding. Whether you prefer the smokiness of Southwestern Chipotle Pepper Jelly or the tropical heat of Caribbean Mango Pepper Jelly, a single jar can completely revolutionize breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack time. It can be used as a condiment, dip, marinade, spread, or cooking ingredient. The possibilities are endless!

4. Novelty Christmas Ornaments

Your Christmas tree ornaments say a lot about you. From sports-themed ornaments to superhero-themed ornaments to something else entirely, our holiday traditions leave a lot of room for self-expression. Give your loved ones a chance to share their love of all things spicy with a novelty ornament shaped like a cluster of bell peppers or a bottle of hot sauce.

5. ‘Grow Your Own’ Pepper Seed Pods

Take it from us here at Grandma Jones’, nothing tastes better than the food you’ve nurtured, grown, harvested, and cooked yourself. No spicy gift basket is truly complete with a few seed packets. ‘Grow your own pepper’ kits are an easy-to-use introduction to gardening. It’s a great way of experimenting with new flavors, from sweet and hotto super-spicy varieties like Ghost Pepper and Carolina Reaper.
