Gift with a story

The Ultimate Prohibition Contraband Collection

Coming Soon

If Silas “Sugarfoot” Morelli only made one delivery, this would be it.

The Ultimate Prohibition Contraband Collection is the most complete haul we offer—an all-inclusive Prohibition-inspired gift packed with nostalgic candy, snacks, classic sodas, small-batch coffee and tea, old-world fruit butters, creamy peanut butter, artisan honey, and a Prohibition-themed candle to set the mood. It’s everything that kept spirits high when the country went dry.

During the 1920s, indulgence didn’t disappear—it simply changed form. Soda bottles clinked openly, coffee brewed strong, tea kettles stayed hot, and sweet spreads filled kitchen tables. Candy wrappers crinkled at ballparks and movie houses, while warm light and familiar flavors made homes feel steady in uncertain times. This collection brings all of it together in one unforgettable package.

Each item is intentionally chosen and thoughtfully arranged to feel like a back-room discovery—part general store, part speakeasy, part family pantry. Nothing here is mass-produced, and nothing feels accidental. From the first sip to the last sweet bite, every piece is meant to be shared, savored, and remembered.

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, thanking someone in a big way, or gifting the ultimate experience in American nostalgia, The Ultimate Prohibition Contraband Collection isn’t just a basket—it’s a story in full.


Because when you give everything… it should mean something.


Each gift set also comes with a story tailored to the occasion you choose, turning every sip into part of the experience itself.

Bauman’s Fruit Butters are traditional, handcrafted spreads made by the Bauman family in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania—continuing a Pennsylvania Dutch fruit butter legacy that began in 1892. Founded when John W. Bauman bought a cider press and began making apple butter in his carriage shop, the business has remained family-owned through multiple generations, still honoring the same old-fashioned methods and recipes handed down over a century ago.


Made in small batches from fresh, locally sourced fruit, Bauman’s fruit butters capture the pure essence of the harvest without artificial additives, pectin, or preservatives. Their lineup includes classic apple butter as well as seasonal and specialty versions like cherry, plum, pumpkin, and more—each cooked slowly to a smooth, concentrated spread that’s rich in flavor and versatility.


More than just spreads, Bauman’s fruit butters reflect a heritage rooted in Pennsylvania Dutch culture and family craftsmanship. They’re traditionally enjoyed on toast, biscuits, and desserts, or used in creative cooking and baking, preserving the authentic taste of fruit with every jar.

Bauman's Apple Butter is made in season, in small batches by a Pennsylvania Dutch family. We use a centuries old recipe of clean fresh apples, pure apple cider and sugar. Bauman's Apple Butter is available with sugar and without sugar and with or without sassafras and spice. Our Apple Butter is thick, dark and rich! Over five pounds of apples are required to yield one pound of Apple Butter. It is so concentrated no refrigeration or even a lid is needed. In fact, it will keep for years, though the flavor is so good that you'll want to enjoy it as soon as possible. The extra cider used in the "Sweetened with Cider" variety makes it almost as sweet as the "Sweetened with Sugar" style, but with no added sugar. Either type is great with any meal or an anytime snack. Thin with hot water if thicker than desired.

Oliver Puff & Company is known for reviving the flavors of early America through carefully researched tea, coffee, and toddy recipes inspired by the Colonial period. Drawing from historic ledgers, journals, and traditional brewing methods, their blends celebrate the tastes enjoyed in taverns and parlors across the colonies. This connection to America’s spirited past makes Oliver Puff & Company a natural fit for a Prohibition-themed gift set—where the nostalgia of hidden speakeasies and secret recipes meets the authenticity of time-honored Colonial traditions, offering a taste of history in every cup.

Martha Washington enjoyed steeping the shells of roasted cocoa nuts from the cacao tree for the interesting flavor and health benefits.


Sweet, warm, and comforting, Cacao Shell speaks to the softer side of Prohibition. This was the kind of drink enjoyed in the evening—shared with family, offered to guests, or sipped quietly after the lights were low. When alcohol vanished, indulgence didn’t disappear; it simply took new forms, and chocolate-rich comforts filled the gap.

Bohea tea, (pronounced “Boo-hee” - Ukers 510), was by far the largest tea import during colonial times. Sometimes called Bohea Souchong or Lapsang Bohea, the blend originated in China with trade to the British and Dutch East India Companies. It was so popular that the word bohea became the slang term for tea. The blend varied wildly, consisting of broken orange pekoe, pekoe, and souchong dumped in a pile and then sifted, typically the scrap tea of lower quality leaves, but was considered high quality by the colonists.


By the 1920s, Bohea tea had already been part of American life for generations. During Prohibition, it remained a familiar comfort—poured in parlors, boarding houses, and Sunday kitchens. Colonial Bohea represents continuity in a time of upheaval, reminding Americans that some traditions outlasted every amendment and every raid.

A brisk and malty black tea. When the ship Britannia arrived in Charles Town in November, 1774 with seven chests of East Indian tea, Charles Town tea merchants were “induced” to destroy their own tea by breaking open the chests and dumping them overboard into the Cooper River, an event now known as the Charleston Tea Party.


The 1920s were an age of global curiosity and modern travel, even as laws tightened at home. East Indies reflects the era’s fascination with far-off places and imported goods—served by hosts eager to offer something refined and worldly without risking a visit from the authorities. It was the taste of sophistication when champagne was off the menu.

Lightly roasted and tightly rolled green tea. Named due to its similar appearance to actual gunpowder. Refreshing lemon and light vegetable flavor of green tea. An excellent green tea for everyday brewing. Witness the "agony of the tea leaf" as the tightly rolled leaves fitfully unfurl to fully expand in hot water. In 18th century British America, tea was an expensive, exotic import, first popular with more wealthy colonists, then with the middle classes as well. According to mercantile records, various grades of gunpowder tea were a common import to America.

According to mercantile records, various grades of gunpowder tea were a common import to America.

Named for its bold, tightly rolled green tea leaves, Gunpowder mirrors the tension of the times. This was the tea of late nights and hushed conversations—brewed strong while listening for footsteps outside or debating whether a knock was a neighbor or a federal agent. Sharp, alert, and unmistakably powerful, it suited a decade that never fully relaxed.

In the summer of 1794, President George Washington called out 12,950 militia to subdue violent protests by so called 'Whiskey Rebels' in Western Pennsylvania. The Rebels were farmers and whiskey distillers protesting taxes imposed on distilled spirits. The call out of the militia dispersed most of the protesters, and secured the new government's authority.


Long before Prohibition, Americans had already fought over what they were allowed to drink—and that spirit of defiance never disappeared. During the 1920s, this blend evokes the quiet rebellion of households that refused to let the government dictate every tradition. Sipped while reading the evening paper or discussing politics at the kitchen table, Whiskey Rebellion honors the stubborn independence that fueled both past uprisings and Prohibition-era resistance.

Set the mood of a secret speakeasy with the warm glow of our prohibition-inspired candle. Designed to capture the atmosphere of the 1920s underground scene, its subtle, smoky-sweet scent evokes hidden jazz clubs, aged whiskey barrels, and whispered conversations behind closed doors.


Adding this candle to your basket transforms it from a collection of local treasures into a full prohibition experience—one that delights the senses, stirs the imagination, and turns any evening into a moment of rebellion and indulgence.

During Prohibition, "the cat's meow" was a term used to describe something or someone that was the best, most stylish, or most impressive—often used to refer to a person, event, or even a beloved item that stood out above the rest. In the Roaring Twenties, when flappers, jazz, and speakeasies dominated the scene, being called "the cat's meow" was the ultimate compliment, signaling that you were at the height of cool.


Now, you can enjoy the gin-scented candle that’s truly the cat's meow! Available in either a rocks glass or mini mason jar, this candle captures the crisp, refreshing aroma of gin, bringing the spirit of Prohibition to life in your space. Hopefully, you can enjoy the intoxicating gin scent without the risk of being raided—just like those sneaky, rebellious nights in a secret speakeasy. Light it up, sit back, and relish in the timeless charm of a truly unforgettable fragrance.

During Prohibition (1920–1933), "Gasper" was a slang term used to refer to a cigarette. The term was popularized among people involved in the underground or "bootlegging" scene, which often included speakeasy patrons and those evading the law.


As a result of Prohibition, many speakeasies and secret bars became havens for not just alcohol but also for other acts of rebellion and subculture, and smoking a "gasper" became part of the overall atmosphere of defiance.


In addition to being used to refer to cigarettes, "gasper" could also occasionally be heard in some areas referring to a swig of alcohol, particularly when the drink was of lower quality. The association with cigars and cigarettes further cemented the sense of rebellion against the restrictive social laws of the time.


So, while "gasper" was mainly a cigarette, the word carried with it a bit of the rebellious spirit of the Prohibition era

In today’s world, "giggle water" may seem like a quirky and nonsensical term, but during Prohibition, it was very much a part of the vocabulary. Giggle water was a playful slang term for alcohol, especially the kind being secretly served in speakeasies during the 1920s. With the country’s ban on alcohol, people resorted to calling it "giggle water" as a cheeky nod to the effects it had—loosening tongues, making people laugh, and lowering inhibitions. The term became a symbol of rebellion, as folks enjoyed their "giggle water" in hidden bars, knowing every sip was a small act of defiance against the law.


Now, you can experience the scent of giggle water—aka a refreshing mojito—and be transported back to the Roaring Twenties! This candle, available in either a rocks glass or mini mason jar, captures the essence of that Prohibition-era rebellion, with the crisp, invigorating aroma of mint and rum. But act fast—sip your "giggle water" and enjoy the moment before the feds come knocking, ready to raid your hidden speakeasy.

Step back in time with this Whiskey-Scented Candle or Wax Melt, available in a Rocks Glass or Mini Mason Jar. The rich, smoky aroma of aged whiskey fills the air, whisking you away to the days of Prohibition. Imagine the warmth and depth of a perfectly poured drink in a crystal-clear rocks glass, as the flickering candlelight casts shadows reminiscent of a hidden speakeasy. The hum of hushed conversations, clinking glasses, and the soft notes of oak and vanilla mingle with the bold, amber whiskey scent, transporting you to a world where every sip was an act of defiance and every moment felt like a thrilling escape. Let this candle set the mood and carry you to a time when rebellion was in the air and whiskey was a precious, secret indulgence.


With the flickering flame casting shadows across the walls, you can almost hear the faint sound of footsteps approaching—federal agents on the prowl, their raid imminent. Yet, for now, you remain in the safety of the underground bar, savoring the essence of a time when whiskey was more than a drink—it was a symbol of defiance, camaraderie, and an era that refused to go quietly into the night.


This whiskey-scented candle isn’t just a fragrance; it’s an experience. Perfect for anyone who loves the spirit of adventure and the allure of a hidden world from the Roaring Twenties. Let the scent of whiskey in a rocks glass or mini mason jar transport you to a place where the only thing stronger than the drink was the resolve to keep it flowing.
