Food Gifts in Oakland

Why Food Gifts Are the Best Gifts (Especially from Our Oakland Gift Shop)

At Good Stock, we’ve learned one universal truth: the way to someone’s heart is usually through snacks. And when it comes to gift-giving, nothing hits quite like something delicious. Flowers wilt, mugs multiply, but a chocolate bar? That disappears in five minutes and leaves a smile behind.

Whether it’s a beautifully wrapped box of truffles or a bag of small-batch granola, food gifts are thoughtful, usable, and never sit forgotten on a shelf. That’s why we keep our Oakland gift shop stocked with edible joy from the best small makers around.

Food Gifts Are Sustainable (Because They Get Eaten)

Let’s be honest—most people don’t need another scented candle or novelty wine stopper. Food, on the other hand? Food gets used. Quickly. No clutter, no landfill guilt, just happy taste buds.

Gifting something edible means you’re giving joy and reducing waste. It’s the feel-good, no-regrets kind of gift we can all get behind.

Support Small Makers With Every Delicious Bite

We don’t just stock food that tastes amazing—we choose treats from independent, small-batch, often women-owned brands who put heart and craft into everything they make. These aren’t mass-produced snacks. They’re conversation-starters. (And if you don’t want to share them, we don’t blame you.)

Some current customer obsessions:

  • Compartes Chocolate Bars – Ridiculously good and wrapped like modern art.

  • BonBon NYC Swedish Candy – Like a candy store for grownups, but cool.

  • Ceybon Aperitifs – Non-alcoholic, mushroom-infused, and fancy enough to feel like a vibe.

  • Leaves and Flowers Teas – For the friend who reads ingredient labels and actually enjoys it.

  • Sweet Deliverance Granola – So good it might ruin all other granola for you.

  • FINE & RAW Chocolate & Spreads – Warning: do not gift if you plan to keep it.

  • Flowerhead Tea’s OG Chai Kit – DIY chai magic in a box.

  • Coop’s Vegan Hot Fudge – Pour it on anything. Ice cream, fruit, your finger… we’re not judging.

  • Sqirl Jams – Tart, tangy, and totally toast-worthy.

  • Mojave Mallows – Fluffy, chocolate-dipped, and basically happiness in a bag.
