Best Seattle Gifts Online

Here is my constantly-updated list of where to find the best Seattle gifts online. Most of these shops also have store fronts or sell at small boutiques throughout the city. If you need to ship, they all deliver anywhere in the United States.

Save this to Pinterest for later, as I’ll update it as I find more great gifts.

Coffee from a local Seattle roaster

Coffee is serious business in Seattle. There are more than 50 local roasters within the city limits that will make it so you never buy from a big coffee chain again. The best part? Coffee beans smell so darn good!

Noire Pack is a great option for Seattle-area coffee. They curate beans made by Black-owned roasters and sell both individual bags and gift sets. I recommend getting anything with Boon Boona in it. They’re one of my other favorite coffee roasters making exquisite coffee with African beans.

Onda Origins is another one of my favorites. They share exactly which farmer grew the beans in your bag and shares revenue directly back to that farmer via blockchain. I partnered with them to create a guide for choosing the best coffee for a French press, if this is your brew method of choice.

Smoked salmon

Salmon is the epitome of the best Seattle gift. It’s prevalent in the waters from Washington up to Alaska and each year you can see them swimming upstream in various rivers throughout the area.

Indigenous-owned Northwest Native Gifts is one of the best companies to get smoked salmon. They hand smoke sustainably caught fish and pack them in jars or cans that you can buy in packs of up to 20!

Neptune is another option for salmon lovers. They serve salmon jerky in a few different flavors made with sustainable fish. I like how they’re cut up into bite-sized pieces and the jerky is on the softer side, so you’re not gnawing on a large piece trying to break some off.

If fresh fish is more your thing, Drifter’s Fish is a must. They’re a husband-and-wife duo who catch their own fish and sell it through a Community Supported Fishery, which is like a CSA but for fish instead of produce.

Washington-grown oysters

Oysters are another seafood synonymous with Seattle. There are a ton of oyster restaurants in the city of Seattle since they’re grown so close to the city. I find Washington state oysters smaller, sweeter, and less briny than other types you might find, so if you haven’t had oysters you like make sure to try them from here!

Hama Hama Oysters is my favorite place to get oysters. I go foraging for oysters on its farm each year because I can’t get enough of their sweet bivalves. The best part is you can get their oysters shipped directly to your door anywhere in the United States.

Taylor Shellfish is another popular oyster farm. It’s larger than Hama Hama and therefore has a few restaurants and seafood shops in Seattle. They’ll also ship directly to your door.

Artisan chocolate

Seattle is where the first Fair Trade organic chocolate company in the US was born. Plus it’s full of independent makers creating excellent chocolate using only the highest quality ingredients. There’s even a chocolate festival every year celebrating this booming industry!

Seattle Chocolate is probably one of the most popular chocolate exports from Seattle. It focuses on confections more than chocolate bars. My go-to’s are the jcoco bar, mint bar, hazelnut bar, and the sea salt bar.

If you prefer chocolate bars without any mix-ins getting in the way, Spinnaker Chocolate is for you. They make some of the best dark chocolate I’ve ever had. They are someone sweet and fruit-like instead of bitter, a testament to their gift in sourcing quality cacao.

Pantry staples made around Seattle

Seattle is full of makers, particularly those selling food goods. I think food items are some of the best Seattle gifts because it can give people a taste of ingredients you can only find in our part of the world.

For example, Woodinville Whiskey Co. makes a barrel aged maple syrup that would satisfy breakfast and booze lovers alike.

Skinny Dipped Almonds are one of my favorite snacks to have on hand. The mother-daughter duo makes the most addictive cocoa dusted nuts.

You could also put together a lovely charcuterie pantry gift with Beecher’s cheese, Beecher’s crackers, Coro hard salami, and Girl Meets Dirt quince and plum preserves.

For those who love to cook, Mikuni Wild Harvest is a foraging company that sells pantry items from Pacific Northwest forests. You’ll find unusual ingredients like black roasted garlic, as well as interesting Japanese condiments.

Wine from a Seattle urban winery

Washington is the second largest producer of wine in the US behind California. I’ve written about most of the Pacific Northwest wine regions, but many people don’t know there’s a thriving urban winery scene right in Seattle!

Nine Hats is one of the best Seattle gifts online because you can try their wines at their Seattle tasting room before shipping it home. They’re in SODO Urban Works, a complex that has a bunch of wineries so you can taste a bunch at a time.

Another option is Cloudlift, a super small urban winery worth seeking out. I’m a wine club member because I love its consistency and affordability year to year.

Find even more of the best Seattle wineries to send someone. Most of them ship!

Beer from a microbrewery

Seattle has a huge craft brewery scene, but surprisingly most of them don’t have an online store.

Fair Isle Brewing is one exception. It’s a super tiny microbrewery that opened two months before the pandemic. It had to get creative in order to survive, so it quickly shifted to nationwide delivery of both their brews and microbrewery friends.

Jewelry made in Seattle

I love picking up jewelry when I travel. Thankfully, Seattle is a city full of jewelry makers selling truly unique pieces.

One option is Lace and Pearls Jewelry started by blogger Asa of Lace and Pearls. She applied her keen eye for style to create affordable, minimalist jewelry that would make a great gift for all types of styles. I have her some of her pieces and am obsessed with them (including the gold bracelet in the picture above).

Studio Toujours is a jewelry company started by my friend during the pandemic. She makes gorgeous clay earrings that you’d expect to find in a cool Palm Springs boutique. I’m wearing her modern white hoop earrings in the picture above!

Clothing made in Seattle

The Emerald Palate used to actually be called The Emerald Closet when I first started blogging. I covered street style and fashion in Seattle. As part of that, I discovered Seattle has a vibrant, but under-the-radar fashion scene of both local designers and hip boutiques.

Freeman is a newer clothing company based in Capitol Hill making classic, Northwest-inspired unisex clothes right here in Seattle with a heavy black and white motif.

Buki Brand is a Japanese-inspired manufacturer creating minimalist, futuristic looks out of their Seattle shop.

Pipe & Row is an amazing tiny boutique with a strong online shopping presence. They curate tiny local Seattle designers as well as small makers across the country.

Beauty products made in Seattle

It blew my mind to learn that there are some locally made beauty products right here in Seattle. Given the city’s obsession with organic and handmade, I guess it shouldn’t have been a surprise.

Herbivore Botanicals is a popular Seattle beauty product company. They’re all over the Seattle Christmas markets selling cruelty free, vegan skincare. I have their coconut body polish and am obsessed with how it makes my dry heels silky smooth.

Books from independent bookstores

Sure you can pick up books anywhere, but supporting a local business would be one of the best gifts in Seattle because it’s a very Seattle thing to do.

Book Larder is one of my favorite shops in all of Seattle. It’s a quaint cookbook store that I think is one of the must-do non-eating foodie activities in Seattle. Besides having the most comprehensive selection of cookbooks I’ve ever seen in one place, it also offers author talks and cooking classes for the super food lover on your list.

Third Place Books and Elliott Bay Books are your best bets for books that cater to a wider audience.

Home goods from Seattle

There are a ton of awesome shops in Seattle with home goods that don’t fit nicely into any specific categories. If you like picking up thoughtful souvenirs, furniture, or interesting trinkets to sprinkle throughout your home, make sure to visit these stores or peruse their website to get gifts from Seattle delivered directly to your door.

Hardmill

Hardmill makes artisan leather goods like knife rolls, aprons, and headphone holders. I own a beanie and headphone holder from them and am super impressed with their craftsmanship.

Walnut & Oak

This company make beautiful custom furniture that’s more reasonable than you’d think. They made me a beautiful dining bench for a couple hundred dollars and the most affordable standup desk I could find.

Venue Ballard

This local shop sells some of the best Seattle gifts from local artists. I often make a stop here every holiday season to find unique gifts my family will love. And since it’s in Ballard, the neighborhood I’d spend my perfect day in Seattle, it’s near a bunch of other shops worth popping into.

The Works Seattle

This company hosts craft and maker classes both online and in person. This makes a unique gift alone, but you can ship one of their DIY kits anywhere in the US. I made their holiday wreath DIY kit every year during the pandemic and it was so easy!
