If you know somebody who values food above all else, knows the names of the chef in all your local gourmet restaurants, and is a kitchen aficionado, then you’ll definitely find the perfect present from this compilation of foodie-approved gadgets and gifts.
For the Love of Wine
If you know a foodie who knows their wines better than you know your neighbors, think about getting them a personalized bottle of happy holiday wine from Etching X. You can choose a variety of wines, beers, and liquors, and you can send in your own image or message to be emblazoned on the bottle’s front. If your foodie is far away, this is the perfect gift idea as it can be delivered straight to their door for a surprise they won’t forget.
For a Splurge
If you’re looking to really splurge on your beloved foodie, think about taking them on a trip to a culinary destination hotspot. Head to Italy to sample pasta to your heart’s content, sip on delectable wines, and take in the foodie haven culture. International travel not an option? Head to a special restaurant a few hours away you know they’ve been yearning to try since reading about it in their favorite food magazine.
An Herb Garden
If your foodie is of the chef variety, and you frequently come home to find them in the throes of their latest recipe, make cooking even easier by providing them with their very own herb garden—right in the comfort of their kitchen. You can easily make an herb garden yourself with some inexpensive cute pots and lovingly planted seeds, or buy them readymade for a one-step gift that they can use immediately.
A Charitable Donation
Foodies understand the importance of nutrition and delicious eats, and if you’re looking for a gift for someone who already has everything, then a charitable donation could be just the ticket. Donate to an organization who focuses on feeding the hungry, in the U.S. or abroad, and make the donation in your foodie’s name. They’ll love the thought that others are getting the food they need, and be so appreciative of your thoughtful gift. Whether you donate to the U.S Hunger Relief Charity, Action Against Hunger, or a local food bank, this is a gift with benefits that go beyond just a fun holiday gift.
A Weekly Delivery
If the foodie in your life is a busy guy or gal and loves to cook but doesn’t always have the time to make it to the grocery store, make it easy on them with a weekly delivery of meal prep items from HelloFresh. Each week, they’ll get a delivery of fresh ingredients and a recipe book with instructions on how to make gourmet meals. If you’re lucky enough to live with said foodie, you’ll benefit as well from the delicious culinary concoctions they create with your gift!
Food of the Month Club
Any foodie will love a food of the month club, and you’ve got options upon options to choose from. Whether it’s a monthly delivery of cheese, salsa, wine, bacon, or chocolate, you can find the right taste to tickle their taste buds. These delivery boxes come at a variety of price points, so you’ll find something that fits your budget and delights their foodie sensibilities.
Make Your Own Kits
Play to your foodie’s culinary sensibilities with a perfect do it yourself kit so they can create one of their favorite treats in the comfort of their own home. Whether it’s a package that helps them concoct their own cheese, a brewing kit that will help them craft and bottle their own personal beer, or a make your own hot sauce kit for the spicy lover, they’ll love this gift idea and get some great use out of it. If you’re lucky, you may even get to sample their experiments.
Unique Kitchen Utensils
Your favorite foodie probably spends a lot of time in the kitchen, so you can rest assured that a kitchen utensil is an appropriate gift. Make it more exciting by finding them a unique tool they’ve never used or even seen before! Buy the Bar10der for the cocktail mixer, herb scissors with multiple blades, or a finger fork to help them shovel food in faster. Practical and in many cases hilarious, you’ll want to buy some of these gadgets for yourself!
Finding a great gift for the foodie in your life is an easy task. Whether you choose kitchen gadgets, food deliveries, or even a donation to an organization dedicated to fighting hunger, they are sure to love what you pick out.
