I had to get a gift for my friend. She loves nice things (don’t we all) plus she’s into cooking and would appreciate something useful. Of course, being that she’s vegan and on a gluten free diet, it was impossible to come up with a gift that fit all of these criteria.That is, until I discovered this product. (I purchased one for myself first) This is AMAZING! Starting from the packaging, it arrived quicker than it said it will. The box is beautiful with a clean, fresh design and a modern vibe.The spice grinders are actually bigger than I thought, which for me is a plus as I feel that it’s a more substantial gift this way, and they came wrapped in bubble wrap. They seem super sturdy and of excellent quality- in fact, the glass is very clear and it isn’t flimsy at all.Now for the best part - I am a fresh food freak. You know those people that will never buy anything that is even slightly wilted or not the freshest ? (I purchase all of my fruits and veggies fom a farm to table Farmer’s Market and keep on throwing out food that may seem perfectly fine to everyone but me)When I inspected these grinders I was so happy to see that the spices included looked extremely FRESH. It seems to me that these aren’t sitting around for even a little bit of time- there isn’t any dust on the bottom of the peppercorn grinder and it has a strong spicy aroma. The Himalayan salt is beautiful, the perfectly pale pink crystals peeking out of the clear glass is love at furst sight. This is perfect as a gift to yourself or someone you love. And if I seem a bit effusive, you’ll forgive me since I just ate a whole wheat toast and avocado with FRESHLY grinded pepper and Himalayan sea salt. Ahhhhh. Bliss.
