Gift guide: chef Gabe Kennedy

“The gift I’m most excited to give is a fresh set of spices from Mountain Rose Herbs. People often forget to refresh the herbs and spices in their kitchen, but fresh spices go a long way.”

“A gorgeous knife is the gift that keeps on giving. As a cook, it is one of my favorite items to give because it offers sentimental value every time it’s used. There is something so sexy about this one with the green bone handle.”

“On weekends, I like to bike up the Hudson for an adventure and having a solid bike opens up the opportunity for exploration.”

“The universal gift I would share is a bottle of our CBD Drops. It’s the bottled version of relaxation and I use the drops every day to reduce my stress, anxiety, and the inevitable inflammation from exercise and ailments. We grow, extract, and package our products using sustainable materials and regenerative agricultural practices. ”

“I am excited to give my business partner Hudson the gift of much-needed relaxation at the AIRE Ancient Baths in New York.”

“I go to Burning Man each year, and this luxury tent is an incredible shelter option. The fabric is designed to keep out the heat of the sun—very necessary in the desert.”

“I like these water bottles because they are insulated, so cold drinks stay cold and hot drinks stay hot—plus, they easily hook onto your gear with a carabiner.”

“This ‘pocket farmacy’ has put me at ease in the most challenging times of travel. Aromatherapy is a powerful way of grounding us in the moment and relieving tension.”
