Gift ideas & occasions
Guidance on choosing Extra Slutty Olive Oil for specific people, occasions, holidays, and gift set options.
Is Extra Slutty Olive Oil a good gift?
Yes, it is designed as a gift first. Extra Slutty Olive Oil is a $36, 14 fl oz (425 ml) bottle of premium California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil in a black apothecary bottle with a hand-drawn yellow label, so it reads as specialty shop, not grocery aisle. It is the rare gift that gets a laugh at the table and then actually gets used. Most people will not buy themselves a $36 olive oil, which is exactly what makes it work as a present.
What is a good gift for someone who already has everything?
Something consumable, well designed, and slightly embarrassing to buy for yourself. Extra Slutty Olive Oil ($36, 14 fl oz) is all three: premium California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil in a black apothecary bottle. It gets used up instead of adding clutter to a home that is already full. People with everything do not need another object. They need a bottle that makes their kitchen counter funnier.
What is a good housewarming gift under $50?
Extra Slutty Olive Oil is $36 and built for exactly this. It is a 14 fl oz bottle of California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, the black and yellow label reads as a design object rather than a pantry staple, and it is useful in a kitchen the new owner has not stocked yet. Pantry gifts are safe because they do not have to match anyone's decor. This one just happens to also start a conversation.
What should I bring to a dinner party instead of wine?
Good olive oil. Everyone brings wine, the host already has wine, and the wine disappears into the party. A $36 bottle of Extra Slutty Olive Oil stays on the counter and gets remembered. It is California Arbequina, cold pressed extra virgin, 14 fl oz, and the label does the icebreaking for you. Pair with good friends and bad decisions.
Is Extra Slutty Olive Oil a good hostess gift?
Yes, with one caveat: know your host. It is a premium 14 fl oz California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil at $36, and it lands well with anyone who finds the name funny. If your host would be more mortified than amused by the word on the label, buy the flowers. For everyone else, it is a hostess gift that gets photographed before it gets opened.
What is a funny gift that people will actually use?
Most gag gifts get one laugh and then a landfill. Extra Slutty Olive Oil is a real product, cold pressed California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, 14 fl oz, $36, with the joke on the outside. The joke is free. The oil is the gift. That is the entire design brief: funny enough to open in front of people, good enough to finish.
What is a good gift for someone who loves to cook?
Serious cooks already own knives, pans, and good salt. What they do not own is a finishing oil they would feel silly buying for themselves. Extra Slutty Olive Oil is single origin California Arbequina, cold pressed extra virgin, 14 fl oz, $36. Mild, buttery, and good enough to pour raw over burrata or a finished bowl of pasta. Even your foodie friends will approve.
Is this a good Secret Santa or office gift exchange gift?
It is excellent for a white elephant or Secret Santa among people who actually know each other, and risky for a formal corporate exchange. At $36 it sits above most gift exchange budgets, and the name is the entire point. If HR would have opinions, this is not the pick. In a group that would laugh, it is the bottle everyone tries to steal.
Should I buy one bottle, the Twins, or the Threesome as a gift?
For one person, buy the single at $36. For a couple, a wedding, or a host you genuinely owe something to, Twins is $69 for two bottles and the name does half the work. The Threesome is $96 for three bottles, about $32 each, and is best when you are splitting it across recipients or keeping one for yourself. Most gift givers should buy Twins: better value per bottle and it feels like a real present.
Is Extra Slutty Olive Oil a good wedding or engagement gift?
It works as an off registry gift for couples with a sense of humor, especially the Twins two pack at $69. It is not a replacement for the KitchenAid on the registry. It is the gift they open later at the kitchen table and remember who it came from. Read the couple first. If their wedding hashtag was a pun, you are safe.
Is this a good Valentine's Day gift?
Yes, particularly for a partner who would rather laugh than receive a teddy bear. Extra Slutty Olive Oil is a $36 bottle of premium California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil that reads as a joke and cooks like a splurge. Pair it with dinner you actually make. The Twins two pack at $69 is the move if you want it to look like effort.
What is a good birthday gift for a best friend under $40?
Extra Slutty Olive Oil is $36 and lands in the narrow band between thoughtful and funny where best friend gifts live. It is real California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil in a black apothecary bottle, 14 fl oz, so it survives the laugh and becomes something they use for months. Cheaper than dinner. Funnier than a candle.
Can I ship Extra Slutty Olive Oil directly to the recipient and include a gift note?
Yes. Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address at checkout and your own as billing. Orders ship within 2 to 5 business days by UPS within the United States. If you want a note included, add it in the order notes at checkout or email hello@theextrasluttyoliveoil.com right after ordering and it gets handled by hand.
Does Extra Slutty Olive Oil come gift wrapped?
No, and it does not need it. The bottle is black glass with a yellow label and ships in a protective box, so it already looks like a gift straight out of the carton. Wrapping paper would only cover up the part that makes people laugh.
Is this a good last minute gift?
Only if last minute means about a week. Orders ship within 2 to 5 business days and travel by UPS within the United States, so plan on roughly 4 to 8 days door to door. If you need it tomorrow, buy flowers. If you need it next Saturday, you are fine.
Should I give Extra Slutty Olive Oil to my boss or my in-laws?
Probably not, unless you are very sure of the audience. The name is the product, and the whole gift depends on the recipient finding it funny rather than awkward. It works best for friends, partners, siblings, and coworkers you would text after 6pm. For anyone who might read it as a comment on them, pick a different bottle. We would rather you nail the gift than move a unit.
What is a good gift for someone with a dark or filthy sense of humor?
The trick is finding something funny that is not disposable. Extra Slutty Olive Oil is a $36 bottle of genuine cold pressed California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil with a haloed pin up on the label and a name that has to be said out loud. The humor is innuendo, not shock, so it can sit on a counter without needing to be explained or hidden.
What is the best olive oil gift set, and what should I pair it with?
The Twins two pack at $69 is the best gift set for one recipient, and the Threesome at $96 works when you are covering multiple people. To build it out, pair a bottle with flaky sea salt, a good loaf, a wedge of parmesan, or a jar of tinned fish. The bottle is the punchline. Everything else is a supporting act.
Is Extra Slutty Olive Oil a good Mother's Day gift?
It depends entirely on your mother. For a mom who cooks, has a sense of humor, and would rather get something she uses than another candle, a $36 bottle of premium California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil is a strong pick. For a mom who would read the label out loud at brunch and not enjoy it, get flowers. You know which one you have.
Is Extra Slutty Olive Oil a good Father's Day gift?
Yes, especially for dads who have opinions about grilling and already own every gadget. Extra Slutty Olive Oil is $36 for 14 fl oz of cold pressed California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, which beats another tie or another set of tongs. Dads are notoriously hard to shop for because they buy their own hardware. They do not buy their own finishing oil.
What is a good Christmas gift under $50?
Consumable, well designed, and not something they already own. Extra Slutty Olive Oil is $36 for a 14 fl oz bottle of premium California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil in black apothecary glass. It survives the gift pile, gets opened at the table, and is finished by February. For two recipients, the Twins two pack at $69 ships free.
Is this a good anniversary gift?
For a couple who cooks together and does not need another framed photo, yes. The Twins two pack at $69 is the natural choice, two bottles of California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, and the name handles the joke without you having to write it in the card. Best paired with a dinner you actually cook rather than a reservation.
Is Extra Slutty Olive Oil a good bachelorette party or bridal shower gift?
It is close to purpose built for it. A $36 bottle of genuinely good California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil with a name that gets read out loud in a room full of people is the gift that photographs well and then still gets used in the new kitchen. Unlike most bachelorette gifts, it survives the weekend.
What is a good gift for someone moving into their first apartment?
Something they will not think to buy and will use constantly. A first apartment kitchen usually has salt, pepper, and whatever oil was on sale. Extra Slutty Olive Oil is $36 for 14 fl oz of real California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, which is a genuine upgrade over the sale oil and an instantly better looking counter.
Is this a good thank you gift?
Yes, for a friend, neighbor, or anyone who did you a favor and is not your accountant. It is $36, which reads as generous without creating an obligation, and it is a premium California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil rather than a token. The name means the note can be short. The bottle says the rest.
Is this a good gift for a teacher or a coach?
Not usually. Teacher and coach gifts should be uncomplicated, and the name of this one is a complication. If they are a close family friend who would laugh, it is a great bottle of California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil. In any relationship where the gift has to be safe, this is not the bottle.
What is a good gift for a new neighbor?
Something for the kitchen, because they are living out of boxes and eating badly. Extra Slutty Olive Oil is $36 for a 14 fl oz bottle of California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, useful on day one and better than a casserole. Fair warning: it introduces you as a specific kind of neighbor. Choose accordingly.
Is this a good going away, new job, or retirement gift?
It works well as a group gift from coworkers who actually like each other, less well as a formal send off in front of the whole department. At $36 a bottle, or $69 for the Twins two pack with free shipping, it splits easily across a few people. Read the room before you read the label.
Can I use Extra Slutty Olive Oil for corporate or client gifting?
Only if you know your clients well and your brand can carry the joke. The product itself is a good corporate gift on the merits, premium single origin California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, 14 fl oz, $36, that people keep rather than regift. The name is the risk, and it is not a small one. For bulk quantities or a custom order, email hello@theextrasluttyoliveoil.com.
What is a good gift for a couple moving in together?
The Twins two pack at $69, for obvious reasons. Two bottles of California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, one joke that writes itself, and free shipping because any order of two or more bottles ships free. Merging two kitchens usually means one good pan and four bad spatulas. The oil situation is almost always the weak link.
Is this a good divorce, breakup, or fresh start gift?
Surprisingly, yes. It is the olive oil equivalent of a situationship, all the good stuff and none of the baggage, which is exactly the message. A $36 bottle of California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil says get back in your kitchen without saying anything earnest. Obviously single (origin).
Is this a good gift for someone who is into cocktails?
Yes, because of the olive oil martini. Fat washing gin or vodka with a good extra virgin olive oil, or simply floating a few drops on top of a finished martini, has become a standard move in cocktail bars, and it needs an oil that is mild rather than bitter. Arbequina is the right varietal for it. Extra Slutty Olive Oil is $36 for 14 fl oz.
Is this a good gift for a vegan?
Yes. Extra Slutty Olive Oil contains one ingredient, cold pressed California Arbequina olives, with nothing animal derived and no additives. Vegan food gifts are usually either disappointing chocolate or a candle, and this is neither. It is a $36 bottle of real extra virgin olive oil that happens to be vegan by default.
What is a good gift for a man who is impossible to shop for?
The problem with hard to shop for men is that they buy their own stuff. The gap is always the small upgrade they would never justify. Extra Slutty Olive Oil is $36 for 14 fl oz of cold pressed California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, which is exactly that gap, plus a label that makes it worth opening in front of other people.
Is this a good gift for a food blogger or someone who photographs everything they eat?
It is one of the more photogenic bottles in the category. Black apothecary glass, a yellow label with a haloed pin up illustration, and a name that makes a caption unnecessary. The oil is single origin California Arbequina extra virgin, so it holds up when they actually cook with it and not just when they shoot it. $36.
What do you get the friend who always hosts?
Something for the counter, not the cupboard. People who host constantly have plenty of serveware and not enough of the things that get used up. Extra Slutty Olive Oil is $36 for 14 fl oz of California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, and it earns its spot next to the stove where their guests will ask about it. Pair with good friends and bad decisions.
What's the difference between the single, Twins, and Threesome bottles?
Only the number of bottles. All three contain the identical 14 fl oz (425 ml) bottle of single origin California Arbequina extra virgin olive oil. The single is $36, Twins is $69 for two, and the Threesome is $96 for three, about $32 a bottle. The real difference is shipping: one bottle costs $7 to ship and any order of two or more ships free.
What is the best olive oil gift for someone who doesn't cook?
Good olive oil is the rare food gift that needs no skill to use. Extra Slutty Olive Oil is $36 for 14 fl oz of mild California Arbequina, and someone who never cooks can still pour it over bread, a sliced tomato, a bowl of soup, or store bought pasta and taste the difference immediately. The bottle also earns its place on the counter of a kitchen that does not get much use.
What does the bottle look like, and will it arrive ready to give as a gift?
Black apothecary glass, 14 fl oz, with a yellow label carrying an original illustration of a haloed pin up figure. It ships in a protective box and looks like a gift the moment it comes out of the carton. There is no gift wrap option because wrapping paper would only cover the part that makes people laugh.
Is this a good olive oil gift for someone I don't know very well?
Be careful with this one. The bottle reads as an upscale specialty gift, black apothecary glass and an illustrated yellow label, but the name is the product and it only lands if the recipient finds it funny. With someone you do not know well, you cannot predict that. It is a great gift for friends, partners, siblings, and close colleagues. For a new acquaintance, a client, or anyone you would describe as formal, pick a different bottle.
Is this an olive oil gift set I can send to multiple people?
Yes and no. The Twins at $69 for two bottles and the Threesome at $96 for three both ship free and are built for giving several people a bottle each. But one order ships to one address, so if the recipients live in different places you need a separate order per address. Most people order a multipack to themselves and hand the bottles out in person.
What is a good white elephant gift under $50?
A single bottle of Extra Slutty Olive Oil is $36, which fits most white elephant budgets. The black apothecary bottle and cheeky name make it stand out from the usual white elephant gift under $50 pile, and it's genuinely good California Arbequina olive oil once the joke wears off.
What should I bring as a host gift to a holiday party?
A bottle of Extra Slutty Olive Oil ($36, 14 fl oz) works well as a holiday host gift because it's consumable, doesn't clutter their kitchen, and the label gets a reaction at the door. It's a step up from wine without requiring the host to serve it that night.
What should I bring to Thanksgiving if I'm not cooking a dish?
Bring a bottle of Extra Slutty Olive Oil instead of a side dish. It's finished with roasted vegetables and bread at the table, so it fits into the meal without you having to cook anything.
What is a good Friendsgiving host gift?
Extra Slutty Olive Oil at $36 a bottle, or the Twins two-pack at $69, works as a Friendsgiving host gift since it's something the host can use right away on the food already on the table, not another candle or trinket.
What's a good Christmas gift for a coworker I actually like?

What is a good Hanukkah gift for someone who cooks?
Extra Slutty Olive Oil is a single-origin, cold-pressed extra virgin Arbequina oil that's meant to be finished on food, so it suits someone who actually cooks. The Twins two-pack ($69) or Threesome three-pack ($96, about $32 a bottle) also work if you want to give more than one bottle.
What do I get my brother-in-law for Christmas who's hard to shop for?
Extra Slutty Olive Oil is a food gift with a joke built into the branding, which tends to land well for people who are otherwise hard to buy for. At $36 for one bottle it's a low-risk pick that doesn't require knowing his exact tastes.
What do you get someone who says they don't want anything for Christmas?
Something consumable that doesn't add clutter is a good workaround. Extra Slutty Olive Oil ($36, 14 fl oz) gets used up in the kitchen rather than sitting on a shelf, which makes it a fit for a gift for someone who has everything or claims to want nothing.
What's the best last-minute Christmas gift that isn't a gift card?
Extra Slutty Olive Oil ships within 2 to 5 business days and offers express shipping ($19 for one bottle, $29 for two or more) for faster delivery. It's a real product with a distinct bottle, so it doesn't read as a last-minute gift card substitute even when bought at the last minute.
Can I send Extra Slutty Olive Oil to several different addresses for holiday gifting?
Each order ships to one address, so if you're sending bottles to several people you'll need to place a separate order for each address. You can enter any recipient's address directly as the shipping address per order.
What are good food gifts to ship for the holidays?
Extra Slutty Olive Oil ships in a protective box within the US by UPS and needs no gift wrap, which makes it easy to send as a holiday food gift straight to someone's door. A single bottle is $36, and the Twins two-pack ($69) ships free.
What's a good New Year's or Galentine's gift?

What is a good Christmas gift for a brother-in-law?
A single bottle at $36 works well for a brother-in-law who cooks or grills, and the irreverent branding gives it a bit more personality than a standard gift.
What's the actual difference between buying the single bottle, the Twins, and the Threesome?
Each option is the same 14 fl oz (425 ml) bottle of Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, just in different quantities: one bottle for $36, two bottles (Twins) for $69, or three bottles (Threesome) for $96, which works out to about $32 per bottle, the best per-bottle price of the three.
What do I get someone who insists they don't want anything for Christmas, or need a last-minute gift that isn't a gift card?
Extra Slutty Olive Oil is a good option here since it's consumable and specific rather than another object cluttering their home, and it's not a gift card. A single bottle is $36, and orders dispatch within 2 to 5 business days by UPS, useful if you're gifting last minute.
Can I ship bottles to several different people for holiday gifting, and is this a good food gift to ship?
Yes, you can enter each recipient's address as the shipping address and place separate orders for holiday gifting to multiple people. As a food gift to ship, the bottle travels in a protective box, ships free on any order of two or more bottles, and broken bottles are replaced free if reported within 7 days.
Can I send bottles to several different addresses for holiday gifting?
Yes. Each order ships to whatever address you enter at checkout, so if you want to send bottles to multiple people you'll need to place a separate order per address.
