Spicing Up Your Holiday with Unique Gift Giving
By Tara Fort
If you’re a fan of one-stop shopping during the holidays—and the rest of the year!—to make your life and schedule easier, look no further than Downtown Prescott’s Spice Traveler. This retail gem features year-round offerings and is a go-to for all things culinary and more.
Spice Traveler has it all: hand-poured spices and herbs, exclusive blends like the best-selling Vinnie the Knuckles and Prescott 1864, gourmet food and pantry items, distinctive kitchenware and service pieces for every occasion, and eye-catching home décor. With this wide selection of culinary perfection, Spice Traveler embodies a passion for inspiring creativity to make every meal an opportunity for a new, exciting adventure. It also ensures your time in the kitchen is more effortless and enjoyable.
Entering the Spice Traveler, one feels like a “kid in a candy store.” You can find something for just about everyone, including yourself! Whether you’re looking for a host or hostess gift or a special item for a co-worker, the store offers items suited to all budgets that are practical, whimsical and fun.
Stacy Gomez, who manages Spice Traveler in Prescott said, “We are so much more than just a spice store. We carry items that you will not find in most other shops in town, and especially the big box retail locations.”
From state-sourced chilis to flavorful mustard blends, to sweet and spicy sauces and regional jams, every shopper is sure to find that perfect item.
During the holidays, the Spice Traveler transforms into a winter wonderland with additional holiday offerings including one-of-a-kind ornaments and candles, festive holiday candies, unique stocking stuffers and the largest selection of Roman Christmas collectibles in Northern Arizona. Visitors will experience in-store displays like the Woodland theme with Mrs. Claus’s Bakeshop complete with gingerbread, candy canes and nutcrackers. The popular year-round Western/Southwestern theme will be enhanced with cacti, cowboy boots, all things Arizona-inspired and more.
Stacy said, “Our goal is to create a unique blend of holiday cheer that reflects the spirit of the season. We showcase ideas for a simple get-together, cocktail party or an entire meal by making your occasion memorable with decorations, serving pieces, and specialty gourmet food items to elevate your event.”
Spice Traveler does much to support this growing town. “Since we are located right in the heart of Prescott,” Stacy said, “it’s easy to embed ourselves in Prescott’s surroundings and culture, and still enjoy the regular visitors and newcomers who support commerce. Through our charitable donations and sponsorships to support the Downtown Courthouse Lighting and The Boys and Girls Club, we consider ourselves an integral part of the community.”
