The challenge, thrown down by Food52er AntoniaJames: Pair Food52 recipes with products from Provisions for extra-thoughtful holiday gift giving this year. We whittled down 5 favorites and are announcing them every day this week, to help inspire your own.

Hot on the heels of our first winner, our second winner is Noelle Bittner, a.k.a. enbe. In addition to putting together a fantastic food gift collection, Noelle organizes our annual Holiday Secret Swap. Noelle explains her winning collection best:

A "gift I would really love to give would be 2 (or 4) of these fantastic copper mule mugs (since I'm a huge fan) with all the boozy fixins and a jar of spice-brined pecans for a snack on the side."
 
Sounds good to us! First, the recipes:

Love Moscow Mules and LOVE LOVE LOVE ginger beer, which I almost always have on hand for mixing cocktails with. I have to say I was excited recently to try Gosling, mother of all ginger beer, but thought it paled in comparison to most bottled brands like Maine Root and Fever Tree.
