Ferry Building Sweet Gift Ideas Under $10

It’s not too late to put together a great gift.  The place to go?  The Ferry Building.  Here are a few of my favorite things, all under $10, that can fill Christmas stockings or be assembled into a basket for a foodie friend (hint..hint).

The Ferry Building dressed up for the holidays

G.L. Alfieri’s Egg Nog Almond Brittle $4.50 for 4 oz, $8.50 for 8 oz
Alfieri’s is one of my favorite weekly stops for the samples of their popular dark chocolate almond brittle.  For the holidays they have an egg nog version.  It has a nice flavor that reminds you of the festive drink.

Recchiuti S’more Bites- $8.00 for 4 SHOP
These are little heavenly squares of deliciousness.  The marshmallow is light and fluffy and covered in a thin layer of chocolate.  The thin graham cookie base has a nice crunch.

Miette Gingersnaps- $8 SHOP
Anything from Miette would look so cute in a gift basket, but for the holidays I like these generous-sized ginger snaps with scalloped edges.

Acme Bread Panettone- Small $4, Large $8
I love the petite panettone.  It is about 6″ tall, the perfect individual size.  The bread is dense and filled with raisins, golden raisins and pine nuts.

Happy Girl Kitchen Jam- 4 oz for $7.00 SHOP
Great to go with Christmas morning breakfast or for filling linzer cookies

Kika’s Treats Caramelized Graham Crackers- $7.50 for 5 SHOP
Stop by the La Cocina booth to support local small businesses. Kika’s caramelized graham crackers are a stand out and would taste even better if you made s’mores with them.

Ferry Building/Blue Bottle Shop Tote- $10.00 SHOP
An eco-friendly way to present your gift and also a nice way to share where everything came from.  On one side of the tote is an illustration of the Ferry Building and the other is the Blue Bottle Coffee kiosk.  (I’d say add a bag of coffee but that is $12 and goes past my $10 limit)
