People often give the holiday season a tough time for being too commercial. You can certainly go too far in that direction, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with giving meaningful gifts to people you care about. In fact, that’s one of the kindest acts a person can do. Despite the fact that we will celebrating the holidays a little differently this year, zoom calls and presents wrapped with love are exactly what is needed to ramp up the holiday spirit.
Think about it…. is there anybody out there who doesn’t like to do at least one of these four things: eat, cook, entertain or relax? We are willing to bet there is not and we have created our gift list based on this principle.
Be warned, we included a few unconventional gift ideas because but it can be fun to think outside the box a bit! We were also mindful to not to include any crazy big-ticket luxury gifts here either. We wanted to include fun Paleo friendly ideas for gift giving, no matter what type of budget works for you!
These gifts would work well for pretty much anybody, but they would ALSO be fabulous for people gearing up to embark on their Paleo journey.
Whether you’re looking for a holiday present for your mom, boyfriend, co-worker, or just a little something for yourself (because yes, you deserve to treat yourself!), we’ve got you covered!
Pete’s Paleo Gifts of Love
What says love more than bacon? Sending someone some of Pete’s Paleo’s mouth-watering bacon is a sure-fire winner! Pete’s Paleo bacon is the meatiest, most supple, melt-in-your-mouth bacon, so good it’s a game-changer.
Bone broth is not only good for you; it has become a trendy drink to sip on. It can, however, be time consuming to make. Pete’s Paleo Bone broth is made with only the best grass-fed beef bones and organic vegetables and filtered water, seasoned just right and packed full of flavor, minerals and gelatin.

Paleo By Season presents a chef’s approach to healthy Paleo cuisine by teaching home cooks the essential techniques for cooking any food, so they can focus not on recipes but on using the best fresh, local ingredients. With dozens of techniques, over 100 Paleo recipes, and a showcase of small farmers and ranchers across the country who are providing sustainably raised meats and organically grown fruits and vegetables, Paleo By Season offers home cooks the tools they need to think like a chef.
For The Kitchen
Glass Meal Prep Containers
When following a Paleo diet there is often a whole lot of vegetable chopping, batch cooking, & meal prepping. These meal prep containers will be SO useful and they work well for freezing leftovers too!

You probably know someone who is obsessed with avocados. The avocado saver slows the oxidation process, making sliced avocado last longer. Reduce waste and never throw away half an avocado again.
