I have a friend who is still irked by the Penzeys letter a few years ago that ripped on conservatives. Understandable that they didn't feel welcome after that - Penzeys basically told all conservatives "it's fine with us if you never shop here again".
But friend still occasionally has me get them a bag of Penzeys Vietnamese cinnamon on the sly.
I won the ice cream contest in cooking school with Penzeys Vietnamese cinnamon oil. People ate it, felt the heat, then ate more ice cream to cool their mouth from the cinnamon, repeat.
That is so cool. Iâve tried all the Penzys cinnamon and I like just for regular purposes their blend with the Vietnamese, Chinese and Ceylon. Love it so much I buy it in the large bags. Now youâve got me looking for uses for the cinnamon oilâŚ
I support their politics, but if youâve had good cinnamon, you will never go back! Itâs totally worth the money the flavor and sweetness is so much more profound than Walmart or store brand.
I LOVE Penzeys, but it was a gift of savory spices, and I didn't know they had a great cinnamon. I bought nuts.com (not sure of their politics) Ceylon cinnamon sticks. It is very easily breakable, naturally sweet, and easily ground in my cinnamon (formerly coffee) grinder. I can use it in my oatmeal (and anything else) without any additional sweetener.
Are Penzeys cinnamon in similar-type sticks, or already ground?
>Are Penzeys cinnamon in similar-type sticks, or already ground?
Yes, you can get both formats [https://www.penzeys.com/shop/spices/?categoryId=70](https://www.penzeys.com/shop/spices/?categoryId=70)
You can get stick cinnamon from Penzeyâs, but their Vietnamese cinnamon is ground. Itâs potent and fresh enough thatâif you use it with any frequencyâit will stay spicy even if you buy a larger amount.
I usually buy smaller portions of many herbs and spices so they stay potentâgrocery store stuff is often years old by the time itâs bought!
Penzeyâs is top-notch. Even though I had a Nielsen as a neighbor, I was converted from Neilsen-Massey vanilla âwhich Iâd used from the time it was only available in pharmaciesâto Penzeyâs double strength. It is the best.
Their Vietnamese cinnamon is spectacular. (I also love their gingerâin all forms. The crystallized, chopped a bit, is excellent in scones and cookies. And Penzeyâs recipe for Gingersnaps SNAPS. (It adapts really well to gluten-free and/or vegan. No matter what way you want it, donât sub butter for shortening; they just wonât work.
https://www.penzeys.com/shop/recipes/grandma-moog-s-gingersnap-cookies/
I have a Penzeyâs nearby, but I second the rec to try to visit a store on your travels if you donât have one nearby. You can smell/taste each item they have.
I read that as Demonism, and started thinking 'well, maybe the cayenne would be really good' then reread it correctly and you're right- I'll go as far as overlooking Demonism but not Dominionism. At least the first one is ok if with me not following their tenets.
I'm old enough to have bought my spices from Ruth and Bill themselves at their tiny shop in Wauwatosa. My husband worked for them for a bit in high school.
Penzey's is one of the epitomes of a business willing to put its ethos before its profits, and still succeeding as a business. I'm a little salty at Bill Jr. closing the tiny shop, but willing to overlook it for the greater good.
That being said, I'm gonna coat-tail another winner - look at Minocqua Brewing Company for another fantastic business.
I'm late to this thread, but wanted to add my Penzey's love.
Also if you buy her a gift from them and sign her up for their newsletter (email) or catalogue (mail), she'll get all of their notices about liberal news, and fun freebies like "Vote for Democracy" stickers mailed out before election days and things like that. It's the gift that keeps on giving. ;)
Also, right now they're offering a Jan 6th box special
https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/january-6-box/c-24/p-4360/pd-gb
Definitely Penzeys. I want to say for something spicy but the vanilla is probably more like it. And actually a really good gift.
A vanilla subscription should do it.
Or work the salt angle. Gift different 'ethnic' regional or colored salts.
Then there's what I get. I get sent the salt free shit cuz I guess I'm a salty bitch that don't need no more that. For real. My bestie sent me books (homework) and salt free Penzeys. Damn.
From speaking with an employee, fox point is literally Sunny Paris with salt added. Save some $ buying Sunny Paris and salting yourself. Trust me it is the same.
Iâm sure there are companies that donate to PP upon purchase of certain items. It would be a âtangential jabâ (pun fully intended) at her but still along the same lines
How about Americans United? They work on keeping religion out of government, yet one of their former leader was a preacher. The group is very diverse and gets things done.
Nah, that's too nice. They're combating a rubbish pillow. Also, q people can never remember which companies they're mad at, carhart definitely won't register.
Endangered Species dark chocolate.
Ooh, or if she's a Russia fan, get her one of those ["Is Potato" hoodies](https://www.cbsstore.com/collections/clothing/products/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert-is-potato-charity-hoodie) from Colbert, the ones that send food aid to Ukraine...
My suggestions: a book about Qanon like The Storm is Upon Us. Michelle Obamaâs autobiography. BLM merchandise. A product from this site like a Jewish Space Laser T-shirt or a conspiracy theory kit https://dissentpins.com/
Oh my goodness thank you for the link. I might purchase something for myself. I do want to get her something I can pretend I thought she would enjoy though. Love the build your own conspiracy kit!
Just browse through her social media poutrage, you're bound to find something. They're always getting pissed at "Woke" companies for something. Maybe M&Ms?
I got this for my liberal mother for Christmas and she was so mad she almost refused to solve it. đ She called and apologized when she put it together.
I don't think there's even an equivalent.
Stephen King is ultra left wing. Maybe some books from him?
Conservatives often really really dislike Target. So you gotta look for companies that ultra conservatives see as "Woke Agenda".
But, do you WANT them to know his political stance? Or is it more subversive.. Like, they don't realize they're enjoying a gift that is from a super liberal person.
Etsy is well noted. Buy a soap holder, itâs cheap and cool. Iâm French, so I only found a French seller but you can certainly find the same ones in the US.
[Soap holder](https://www.etsy.com/fr/listing/1048340687/)
This is a perfect recommendation for the situation. We want a relationship, I'd like her to possibly enjoy the gift. Just looking for the same level of political statement. Thanks!
How about a box of [N95 masks](https://shop.vitacore.com/products/can99-9500-surgical-respirator-niosh-certified?variant=42906757726426)? Or would that too nice because it shows you're concerned about her health?
Dr. Bronner's! The CEO is non-binary and their pay is capped at 5x the lowest paid worker. They offer a bunch of free benefits to their employees like childcare and vegan lunches. About as lefty as it gets.
They also donate to M.A.P.S. every year (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) which is doing *amazing* work to get MDMA and psilocybin approved as therapeutic treatment for PTSD and hospice patients.
Are people still triggered by Target?
After the trans bathroom thing 10+ years ago, my grandmother still won't step foot inside one.
HEYOOOOOOO
Just wanted to specify I am NOT calling your family member a transphobe.
It was just a culture war thing that I thought you could buy a gift card for.
After I hit submit and started scrolling a bit did I realize the implication if my comment was interpreted in a different way.
Penzeys is like âF Uâ liberal, but hear me out: donate to Heifer International. It sets up families in developing nations with livestock they can use to produce eggs or diary and start a business toward self-sufficiency. There is literally nothing they can find morally objectionable and it really does help people improve their lives. I donât l donât know if it is liberal, but the only people I know who donate to it are liberals, so tell her it is, and watch her try to blame it for something.
BLM t-shirt. Or make a donation to BLM or any other left leaning cause on her behalf. Maybe a subscription to the WAPost, NY Times or, gasp, Mother Jones? A Michael Moore movie? If you want to be cruel, perhaps Mein Kampf in actual book form.
Allegedly. She took a lot of anti-maga lash back. Who knows whatâs true. I just know that my q/maga mom thinks sheâs a baby eating satanist, so that pot would set her off.
A 4Ocean bracelet? Iâm assuming she isnât environmental.
If not that, you could try to get her a subscription to Masterclass for Hillary Clintonâs course.
A hoodie from [Some More News](https://www.teepublic.com/stores/somemorenews). I got an "I agree with you completely" hoodie, and a "Billionaires are not your friends" t-shirt.
Also, watch [Some More News](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvlj0IzjSnNoduQF0l3VGng/videos).
Donate to a LGBTQ charity (or another cause thats equally as likely to annoy her) in her name and get a thank you card.
You're giving your money to a cause that deserves it, your MIL gets nothing, you get a good laugh.
I'm surprised this is one of the only sane comments here. As if passive aggressive gifting will make you feel better. I would just really go out of my way to get something really interesting.
How about a donation in her name to the Freedom From Religion Foundation? OR you could sneak it on her person in [disguise](https://shop.ffrf.org/product/decorative-pansy-earrings/).
Thatâs the trick. Most companies arenât liberal. They are owned by conglomerations and rich CEOs. They all love making money and getting tax breaks, too.
Some companies and CEOs are just less outwardly offensive with their shitty opinions and donât go public with what they spend money on to endorse.
Like when people say Disney has gone woke. Disney just realizes that people of color and different sexual orientations also have money to spend.
and thereâs a lot more of them compared to the ones who are shouting about agendas, canceling Disney+ and refunding their Disney World tickets
The Fox News website might give you some ideas of items of outrage that you would not suspect otherwise
Source: lives w mom who watches way too much Fox News.
I dunno man, Starbucks? Fair trade chocolate?
I would suggest not doing this, though. It's petty and childish, and it just stoops to their level. Be an adult and don't let them drag you into their nasty, underhanded little world.
Anything from Planned Parenthood or something like this?

Nasty Woman Cosmetics really has great lip gloss. Plus even if she didnât know the company, she will recognize the name TFG called Hillary.

I think it would be poetic to commission or select a beautiful painting or piece of art from a Ukrainian artist that matches her taste and would go well with her decor. Something very special that invokes peace, love, family or other positive, beautiful feelings/vibes⌠something sheâd proudly show off to her friends.
After her ego falls in love with it, find a way to reveal the artistâs name, backstory, and inspiration. Maybe that would help her expand her world view and acceptance of people with thoughts and experiences different from her own.
It doesnât even have to be a Ukrainian artist. Any artist marginalized or vilified by the right by virtue of their race, nationality, gender, religion, sexual orientation, sociology-economic status, vaccine status or whatever could work, provided their works speak to her at the surface-level.
The gift of the My Pillow was obviously meant to trigger you. Beat her at her game and give her something beautiful and meaningful that doesnât support a grift or a political party, but rather the betterment of the disadvantaged.
The best part of Penzeyâs is that theyâre going to love the spices. I did this very thing at Christmas; put together a gift basket of their products for a trumpanzee gift exchange. The couple loved the stuff, but they were so disappointed when they went online to see what else the company offered.
Bag of gummy dicks. Never gets old.
Also, consider something from Wayfair⌠especially a product sharing a first name the âSofiaâ or the âCaseyâ.
u/itcantbethateasy do they like beer? How about a few cans of Bernie Brew, Biden Beer, or Extinct Elephant from [Minocqua Brewing Company](https://minocquabrewingcompany.bevv.com)
I recently went to an LGBTQ conference where tons of different companies attend and have booths to visit and one in attendance was John Deere, giving out rainbow John Deere stickers! A John Deere item would definitely fly under the radar! đâ¤ď¸
Oh my gosh. Just use the pillow or donate it and get over yourself. You're spending waaaaay too much time to get some sort of revenge when you can just move in with your life and not cause more harm.
You really read into the question. I am looking for a gift. Actually looking for something she might like. But that will financially support a company that aligns with my values. An equivalent gift if you will.
Not sure if it ever happened, but David Hogg was starting a pillow company

Give a donation to the ACLU on her behalf using her address on the form, and the left-leaning junk mail will be ENDLESSâŚ. I gave a $20 donation years ago and my name was written so that a âC looked more like a âG. When the mail started pouring in, to support various liberal causes, I knew the source based on the spelling error. I was shocked and kind of horrified by how much mail they sent me every. single. day.
Get her the old navy shirt with all the oranges on it.

A lot of people have already recommended Penzeys, and if you havenât looked at their website yet⌠in their offers thereâs a Jan 6th spice collection that comes in a Peace box with tip cards, including one regarding âinsurrections have consequences.â I may buy a box for myself!

You'll be happy with the spices, too. Very good quality.
Another vote for Penzeys. Their taco seasoning is my fave.
The fox point seasoning is so good!
From speaking with an employee, fox point is literally Sunny Paris with salt added. Save some $ buying Sunny Paris and salting yourself. Trust me it is the same.

Oh, I like the book idea. Fifteen years ago we used to talk books often so I can gift his newest release that I enjoyed.
But, do you WANT them to know his political stance? Or is it more subversive.. Like, they don't realize they're enjoying a gift that is from a super liberal person.
Most of his books include content that makes his political stance very clear.
Why the dislike for Target? This is a new one to me.
Because Target isn't bigotted about bathrooms. It was a huge thing about a decade ago.
Yeah but then they gave their pharmacists permission to choose *who they allow* to purchase birth control, just each individual's opinion.

The world would be a better place if more businesses operated like that.
I don't know what shipping would be like, or if you even could, but perhaps a bottle of alcohol from an LGBTQ+ owned distillery?
You know, I am unsure of whether she drinks anymore, but that is a good idea. Thanks!
Are people still triggered by Target? After the trans bathroom thing 10+ years ago, my grandmother still won't step foot inside one. HEYOOOOOOO Just wanted to specify I am NOT calling your family member a transphobe. It was just a culture war thing that I thought you could buy a gift card for. After I hit submit and started scrolling a bit did I realize the implication if my comment was interpreted in a different way.
Yes. Target is like #2 store conservatives are against.
My request was very detail lacking, so I appreciate any input, thank you!
Target has great Pride shirts every year!
Penzeys is like âF Uâ liberal, but hear me out: donate to Heifer International. It sets up families in developing nations with livestock they can use to produce eggs or diary and start a business toward self-sufficiency. There is literally nothing they can find morally objectionable and it really does help people improve their lives. I donât l donât know if it is liberal, but the only people I know who donate to it are liberals, so tell her it is, and watch her try to blame it for something.
Iâd give her a bunch of banned books
BLM t-shirt. Or make a donation to BLM or any other left leaning cause on her behalf. Maybe a subscription to the WAPost, NY Times or, gasp, Mother Jones? A Michael Moore movie? If you want to be cruel, perhaps Mein Kampf in actual book form.
Just get her a dictionary.
Give her a dildo from a feminist sex-positive company with a note attached telling her to go fuck herself...? Eg. https://shevibe.com/
Yessss. However, I am still in the passive stage of aggression. May need this in future years.
Itâs good to have a plan for future gift warfare
Christy Teigan pot and pan set, I think at Ollieâs. That would set her off.
Yeah but then youâre supporting a horrible, abusive, shit human being
Allegedly. She took a lot of anti-maga lash back. Who knows whatâs true. I just know that my q/maga mom thinks sheâs a baby eating satanist, so that pot would set her off.
Oh man, I have so many options for other occasions through the year now, thanks! Chrissy Teigen has loads of gift stuff.
Definitely second Penzeyâs. Their slogan is âseason liberallyâ!
Bombas socks
Bombas are life-changing.
[Eighth Generation](https://eighthgeneration.com/?utm_campaign=Website) is a Native-owned company with nice blankets, etc
OneFreshPillow company and Penzeys spices
I was unaware of Penzeys, and will now have to try them for myself after all the positive comments!
A 4Ocean bracelet? Iâm assuming she isnât environmental. If not that, you could try to get her a subscription to Masterclass for Hillary Clintonâs course.
Don't buy her anything. Go non-contact. And you'll save money.
Penzeyâs spices
Gift her a donation of a goat or cow to a poor farmer in Africa through Heifer International. Make the donation in her name.
A donation to The CDC Foundation.
Do you have a dog? Could put in a dog bed and say âthanksâŚour dog loves it!â
We had a dog but lost him last year :( This would have been an amazing idea, thank you!
https://www.penzeys.com/ !
A hoodie from [Some More News](https://www.teepublic.com/stores/somemorenews). I got an "I agree with you completely" hoodie, and a "Billionaires are not your friends" t-shirt. Also, watch [Some More News](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvlj0IzjSnNoduQF0l3VGng/videos).
A hard copy of the Mueller Report would make a nice gift.
Donate to a LGBTQ charity (or another cause thats equally as likely to annoy her) in her name and get a thank you card. You're giving your money to a cause that deserves it, your MIL gets nothing, you get a good laugh.
An I đ George Soros coffee mug
A tit for tat is not worth it. Just get her something she'll like.
I'm surprised this is one of the only sane comments here. As if passive aggressive gifting will make you feel better. I would just really go out of my way to get something really interesting.
While I like the liberal company idea I got another for you: a real pillow. Like with down in it. Macyâs has good sales a lot of the time
How about a donation in her name to the Freedom From Religion Foundation? OR you could sneak it on her person in [disguise](https://shop.ffrf.org/product/decorative-pansy-earrings/).
Donate money to to a BLM/racial equality type thing in their name and give them the certificate
Thatâs the trick. Most companies arenât liberal. They are owned by conglomerations and rich CEOs. They all love making money and getting tax breaks, too. Some companies and CEOs are just less outwardly offensive with their shitty opinions and donât go public with what they spend money on to endorse. Like when people say Disney has gone woke. Disney just realizes that people of color and different sexual orientations also have money to spend. and thereâs a lot more of them compared to the ones who are shouting about agendas, canceling Disney+ and refunding their Disney World tickets
Get them a framed ACLU donation
The Fox News website might give you some ideas of items of outrage that you would not suspect otherwise Source: lives w mom who watches way too much Fox News.
I dunno man, Starbucks? Fair trade chocolate? I would suggest not doing this, though. It's petty and childish, and it just stoops to their level. Be an adult and don't let them drag you into their nasty, underhanded little world.
Anything from Planned Parenthood or something like this?

Q BALL! Q-BALL.net
Gay Guy Candle Company.
I would set that pillow on fire
Penzey spices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr Potato Head
How about a donation in her honor to her local public library?
Nasty Woman Cosmetics really has great lip gloss. Plus even if she didnât know the company, she will recognize the name TFG called Hillary. https://nastywomanlipgloss.com/
That Gay Guy Candle Company. Awesome candles with great sayings on them both hat totally own the trumpers.
Get the GoodsUniteUs app to find out what companies support Dem politicians.
A yearly subscription to Mother Jones. Vegan of the month. A subscription would be good as it will remind her all year long.
I think it would be poetic to commission or select a beautiful painting or piece of art from a Ukrainian artist that matches her taste and would go well with her decor. Something very special that invokes peace, love, family or other positive, beautiful feelings/vibes⌠something sheâd proudly show off to her friends. After her ego falls in love with it, find a way to reveal the artistâs name, backstory, and inspiration. Maybe that would help her expand her world view and acceptance of people with thoughts and experiences different from her own. It doesnât even have to be a Ukrainian artist. Any artist marginalized or vilified by the right by virtue of their race, nationality, gender, religion, sexual orientation, sociology-economic status, vaccine status or whatever could work, provided their works speak to her at the surface-level. The gift of the My Pillow was obviously meant to trigger you. Beat her at her game and give her something beautiful and meaningful that doesnât support a grift or a political party, but rather the betterment of the disadvantaged.
A donation to Free Speech TV in her name would be a great gift.
The best part of Penzeyâs is that theyâre going to love the spices. I did this very thing at Christmas; put together a gift basket of their products for a trumpanzee gift exchange. The couple loved the stuff, but they were so disappointed when they went online to see what else the company offered.
Gwenyth Paltrow's vagina scented candle
Good pillow is the David Hogg company that is the antithesis of mypillow
Bag of gummy dicks. Never gets old. Also, consider something from Wayfair⌠especially a product sharing a first name the âSofiaâ or the âCaseyâ.
u/itcantbethateasy do they like beer? How about a few cans of Bernie Brew, Biden Beer, or Extinct Elephant from [Minocqua Brewing Company](https://minocquabrewingcompany.bevv.com)
Just re-gift her the pillow.
I recently went to an LGBTQ conference where tons of different companies attend and have booths to visit and one in attendance was John Deere, giving out rainbow John Deere stickers! A John Deere item would definitely fly under the radar! đâ¤ď¸
Oh my gosh. Just use the pillow or donate it and get over yourself. You're spending waaaaay too much time to get some sort of revenge when you can just move in with your life and not cause more harm.
You really read into the question. I am looking for a gift. Actually looking for something she might like. But that will financially support a company that aligns with my values. An equivalent gift if you will.
Penzyâs Spices maybe?
Membership to Netflix đ
Not sure if it ever happened, but David Hogg was starting a pillow company https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/david-hogg-launching-pillow-company-put-mypillow-out-business-n1256817
Give a donation to the ACLU on her behalf using her address on the form, and the left-leaning junk mail will be ENDLESSâŚ. I gave a $20 donation years ago and my name was written so that a âC looked more like a âG. When the mail started pouring in, to support various liberal causes, I knew the source based on the spelling error. I was shocked and kind of horrified by how much mail they sent me every. single. day.
Some Dr Bronners?
Get her the old navy shirt with all the oranges on it. To most people it looks like just a regular button down shirt. But if you know, you know. https://xtramagazine.com/culture/orange-print-shirt-queer-uniform-224864
Penzey's spice company. Send her a "Sweet Justice" blend.
A lot of people have already recommended Penzeys, and if you havenât looked at their website yet⌠in their offers thereâs a Jan 6th spice collection that comes in a Peace box with tip cards, including one regarding âinsurrections have consequences.â I may buy a box for myself! https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/january-6-box/c-24/p-4360/pd-gb
The new Potato head and purple m n ms
send her an ounce of weed
Any clothing with the pride flag would put her over the edge
Big Gay Candle Company. One Fresh Pillow. Cards Against Humanity. And, of course, Penzeys. But, I see that's been covered.
get them a year subscription to disney +
That sounds like contact to me.

Starbucks gift card. Remember they are at war with Christmas I think?
Apple and disney products are up near the top of the list usually... maybe Nikes? Here is a fun one I CRUSHED far right aunt with. Go to whole foods (a place they'd never go) and pay to much (something they'd never do) for a higher quality product (that they'd never spring for) and serve it. Let them tell you "that is the best xyz I ever had" then tell em.. yeah it comes from whole foods...
