My Penzey's spice order just arrived. I ordered enough this time that they threw in, free, a "joy of cinnamon" mini-gift box: Penzey's cinnamon (a blend), Vietnamese cinnamon, and cinnamon sugar, plus cards with tips on what to do with them. I would never buy cinnamon sugar, because it's not worth the money, but Penzey's was giving it away several years ago, so I took a jar. It turned out I liked it at least as well as the cinnamon sugar I mix up for myself from sugar and cinnamon.
This order was mostly restocking our pantry, plus one new thing to try, a blend called "Krakow nights." Also, we decided to try powdered rosemary instead of cracked, because the little pointy bits on the cracked rosemary can be annoying in some cases.
We didn't buy as many spices as it looked like: I got up to the "free gift box with purchase" level because gift cards were on sale ($35 for a $50 gift card), so I bought one. We shop at Penzey's enough that I've used up at least three previous discount gift cards, so it's worthwhile, in part because gift cards count toward the minimum order for free shipping, and it's no longer convenient for me to go to Penzey's in person.
