The Gifts on Amanda Hesser’s Wish List

Making a wish list when I live in a world of new, beautifully-designed products is a monumental task—there are so many things that I’d love to have! I kept this year’s holiday wish list focused on excellent ingredients (Haku fish sauce), sustainability (reusable produce bags), and timeless home goods (popcorn grid coverlet).

1. Haku Japanese Whisky Barrel Aged Fish Sauce

I love Haku fish sauces and look for any opportunity to stock up!

2. Schoolhouse Popcorn Grid Coverlet

This Schoolhouse classic, a great coverlet for adding texture to layered bedding, has been on my list for years.

3. Walnut Wooden Spoons

I have these spoons in teak and I’d like a set of walnut as back up.

4. Handmade French Ceramic Deer Pitcher

The forest motif and matte finish of the Digoin deer pitcher has a storybook charm, which would work well with my tableware. I tend toward plates and linens that are fairly quiet in color, and I like to add character with texture and shape.

5. Juliska Tortoise Knot Napkin Rings

It’s challenging to find napkin rings that aren’t trying too hard. These tortoise rings have a sweet shape and go with most linens.

6. Five Two Organic Cotton Reusable Produce Bags

I’ve been using linen and muslin produce bags for the past few years and need to refresh my supply. These are made with breathable cotton and come in lots of handy sizes.

7. Nordic Ware Natural Aluminum 10-Inch Pie Pan With Lid

I’ve wanted a covered pie pan for years. Maybe 2023 is the right time for one.

8. Sabre flatware

This flatware has been a staple of my wishlist—Sabre’s Bistrot line comes in an array of great shades. The most difficult part is choosing a color.

9. K+M Extra-Virgin Chocolate Bars

I send these delicious, silky chocolate bars as gifts all the time. Now I’d like someone to send them to me!

10. Blueberry Basket Ornament

Because I want a Lilliputian felt blueberry basket on our tree. Don’t you?
