Hahaha I like that “Big Mistake Plate”.
Perfect for Thanksgiving! Though then again, maybe not…. it’s practically a crime not to eat all the Thanksgiving food you can manage!

I have some Black Hawaiian Sean Salt and love it! It’s so great (and interesting looking) when sprinkled on eggs or pasta! And I’ve given it away as a gift before too. Sea salt with Truffles is also amazing. I get a small pot of it in my stocking every year.
It’s funny … I thought giving and receiving salt as a gift was strange, but now I realize it’s not!
All these gift ideas look good.
