Ho, ho, ho-ly smokes! We're only about a month away from Christmas (and Hanukkah is less than a week away!). And even though the crew members at Trader Joe's are busy restocking shelves and checking out guests before Thanksgiving feasts commence, they have already made their lists and checked them twice.
Their "Deck the Halls with Sweets and Sundries" roundup dropped last week, and is full of great gift ideas for everyone on your list, including plants, beauty products and of course snacks—both savory and sweet.
One trend that really stood out to us in this curated collection, which we're taking as Trader Joe's first holiday gift guide of the year: Mint. Ahead, the best peppermint goodies of all kinds that employees deemed worthy of their list—and worthy of a spot in your cart or basket. (ICYMI, these 15 holiday items are already back at Trader Joe's—including a drink shoppers say they "must stock up" on.)
