8 Surprising Gifts for People Who Are Obsessed with Trader Joe’s

While I’m definitely in the running, I know I’m not the biggest Trader Joe’s fan out there. (Seriously, what else do I need to DO to qualify though?) If you know someone who you’d nominate for the coveted title, my best guess is that they’d be very happy to be on the receiving end of every single one of these Trader Joe’s-inspired gifts on this list.

Here are eight fun gifts for the Trader Joe’s-lover in your life.

For reasons explained in the Inside Trader Joe’s podcast, Trader Joe’s crew members wear cheery Hawaiian shirts instead of the stuffy (and typical) polos. Help your friend get the look with a Kahala shirt — it’s complete with coconut buttons!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Trader Joe’s has the best refrigerated dip selection known to man. Your loved one can serve a trio of their favorites … if you give them this gorgeous condiment paddle.

If your friend can’t go on a single Trader Joe’s run without being lured by a new spice worth trying (Umami Powder anyone?), they’re probably also in need of a good place to store everything. I love these mountable acrylic shelves, which are perfect for TJ’s square-shaped seasoning bottles.

Believe it or not, one of the most buzz-worthy TJ’s items is NOT edible! It’s their $13 olive wood serving paddle. If you can’t seem to find the real deal, you can get a similar dupe on Amazon!

Trader Joe’s is an excellent place to stock up on cheap pantry staples like dried pasta, coffee beans, and baking supplies. And these OXO Pop Canisters are excellent places to store all of that!

When one of Kitchn’s writers stumbled upon limited-edition waxed cotton food wraps at Trader Joe’s, she audibly squealed in delight. Give these to someone you love this holiday season and bring them the same unbridled joy.

Get this acacia wood lazy Susan for your friend who knows how to make a super festive charcuterie board (using only Trader Joe’s goodies, of course) at a moment’s notice.

Trader Joe’s is doing its part to cut down on unnecessary plastic and everyone else should too! Stasher bags are a great (reusable) way to store snacks and other grocery goodies, especially on the go.
