Finding great gifts for foodies is sometimes difficult Even the nicest foodie among your friends will admit — we tend to be snobs. We can’t help it. Once we’ve made the switch from Starkist to locally-canned tuna from Westport, Washington, or “experienced,” rather than simply "eaten" cheese, there’s no going back. Go ahead and tease us, but along with your giggles when our spice cabinets inevitably crash down upon us, please do be careful when selecting presents for foodies, like us. The holidays are approaching, and within months, birthdays, so take heed. Here are my very un-snobbish, very fun gift ideas for foodies; all of them can be found online at Dean & Deluca and Uncommon Goods, both known havens for foodies.
If the foodie on your list is a cheese aficionado, then this is the gift for them! Every month, they’ll receive a generous chunk of a unique, delicious cheese. Memberships come in 3, 6, 9 and 12 month plans. My only wish? That the membership came with a cheese-inspired pin-up calendar, each month celebrating a new dairy delight.
I know I’d be thrilled if someone bought me this gift for the foodie in me! Is there any better lunch or dinner than a bowl of roasted tomato soup with chunks of crusty bread or rich cheese crackers? This bowl combines both, perfectly, preventing soggy crackers and messy crumbs.
Here in Michigan, there are often heated disputes over mushroom-hunting territories come morel season. As a result, I’m no stranger to the appeal of growing your own, indoors. This kit contains just about everything your foodie friend will need to grow their own oyster mushrooms.
Everyone, everywhere loves hot chocolate, and this non-messy version is perhaps the perfect gift for foodies who are oh-so-hard to buy for. Most of us have everything we want, but this? We might not think of this on our own.
If you haven’t tried salted caramel, you’re in for a treat… if your foodie friend will share these with you. Each box contains an even dozen of these dark and milk chocolate caramel goodies. The combination sounds odd, but it’s the perfect blend of sweet and savory. They’re so good!
I know what you’re thinking: this is just jelly, right? What’s the big deal? The big deal is the thunderbolt taste, all bang and pop. These two jellies couldn’t be more different — sweet berries vs. tart lemon — but together, they’re great gifts for foodies.
Truly, the only difficult thing about any of these gifts for foodies is in choosing just one! I know I’d love any of these, so I’m sharing this list, right now, on every social media outlet I can find… which of these gifts do you think the foodies in your life would like the most? Or is there another foodie gift you’ve found that they adored? Please share!
