Drama Oil | $12

For lovers of everything spicy and garlicky, this oil brings the heat. It’s a perfect sauce to keep on hand when you need to elevate a simple meal to stim through food when you need it.

Sweet & Sour Gift Box

Sweet & Sour Gift Box | $43

If you’re taste-seeking, you probably like — or maybe even love — sour candy. We certainly can’t get enough of the chewy texture mixed with sweet and sour flavors of BonBon’s Swedish candy mix. Just delish!

Spaghetti Dust

Spaghetti Dust | $28 (for a 4-pack)

It’s never been easier to make a delicious pasta dish. Add this Aglio Olio e Peperoncino blend to buttered noodles, pasta with olive oil, or even spaghetti or another pasta dish to add a bit of spicy, garlicky flavor to it.

Editor’s Pick: “Every time I make pasta, whether it’s buttered noodles or pasta with sauce, I sprinkle this on top. It just adds a little extra kick that makes it exciting and stim-worthy.” – Brianna, Managing Editor

Tinned Fish Spicy Trio

Tinned Fish Spicy Trio | $45

For those who like to add a bit of spice to everything, might we recommend the spicy tinned fish trio from Fishwife? Add to salad, rice bowls, or even just a snack plate for a spicy treat.

Mstrd Mustard

Mstrd Mustard | $10

These mustards are smooth, strong, and not bitter, just flavor. Try the classic dijon, or get funky with the pickled turnip, lemon pepper, or spicy carrot mustards.

What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking | $32

Don’t feel like cooking but thrive with taste-seeking meals? That’s exactly what the over 100 recipes in this new cookbook offer. And a bonus: They are (almost) all able to be made in 15 or 30 minutes.

Noodle Variety Pack

Noodle Variety Pack | $77

If you like a quick, easy, flavor-forward meal that doesn’t take much time or effort to cook, we love these noodles from Fly By Jing. They’re incredibly simple to cook and taste delicious when you’re craving something spicy or umami.

Squeezy Peanut Butter

Squeezy Peanut Butter | $10

These squeeze bottle peanut butters let you avoid the sticky mess and make it easier to put on everything. That’s a win-win in our book!

Dona Still Life Tea

Dona Still Life Tea | $16

For a subtly sweet and incredibly cozy tea, we love Dona’s Still Life, which is a soothing blend of ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, fennel, and black pepper. Perfect for rainy afternoons and chilly winter nights.

Awa Sparkling Water Bottle

Awa Sparkling Water Bottle

For the bubbly-water devotees: this bottle keeps your sparkling water fizzy, so every sip has that satisfying, crisp carbonated bite from first to last.
