Holy Schitt! Dan Levy Partners with DoorDash for Holiday Gift Guide
Matthew Wexler READ TIME: 7 MIN.
While there's no new season of the award-winning "Schitt's Creek" to look forward to, we're still obsessed with one of its stars and co-creators, Dan Levy. The Emmy Award-winning actor-writer-producer has partnered with DoorDash this season to curate an easy-to-shop gift list from small businesses led by immigrants, people of color, and other historically underrepresented entrepreneurs.
"As a small business owner myself, I always try to support other entrepreneurs whenever possible. I'm so glad that I could partner with DoorDash to curate a gift list focused on local neighborhood shops and restaurants this holiday season," Levy said in a statement. "Whether you've already made your list, or you're a last-minute shopper, we've put together some unique gift inspirations that'll get to your loved ones on time!"
Shoppers can access Levy's list through the app and a special "Get Giving with Dan Levy" microsite, live through December 28. Gifts can be personalized on the check-out page with on-demand or nationwide shipping, along with digitally animated cards and a personal message. And, in the true holiday spirit, the collaboration also includes a $250,000 donation to Feeding America hunger-relief organizations.
Dozens of local retailers across the U.S. and Canada can be found, along with these top picks for nationwide delivery:
Everything you need to make fried chicken and cornbread, along with a few tongue-tingling hot sauces to spice things up. ($59.99)
Bring a taste of NYC with that overflowing box of crave-worthy classics like pastrami, corned beef, sour pickles, rye bread and so much more. ($170)
Does your holiday décor need a pick-me-up? Gift yourself or send to your loved one a Velvet Christmas arrangement bursting with regal red roses, hypericum, Cocculus, scoop burgundy, and other stems of the season. $107)
Have you given up on making sourdough? You're not the only one. Your carb-loving friends will love digging into this sampling of breads, pastas, and artisanal pastries. ($89)
Xiao Chi Jie's Dumpling Experience
Your recipient will be well-stocked for the Chinese New Year after receiving this massive soup dumpling package, featuring 100 soup dumplings (carefully packaged in dry ice), three signature sauces, and a two-tier bamboo steamer. ($130)
