Top 7 Gifts for the Foodie in Your Life
Almost everyone has a friend or family member in their life who is a foodie. How do you know if your loved one is a foodie? Does this person spend more time in the kitchen than they do in the living room? Do they enjoy food and cooking above all other hobbies? Then you have a foodie on your hands.
A foodie is an easy person to buy gifts for, but if you’re concerned that you might not get the right gift, keep reading below for a few hints to get you started on finding the best gift for the foodie on your gift list.
The Gift of Chocolate
Who doesn’t love chocolate? There are very few foodies out there who wouldn’t love a gift from their favourite chocolate company. Whether it’s milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, or chocolate filled with caramel, you can’t go wrong with this treat as a gift for a foodie.
A Spice Basket
Everyone knows that spices have health benefits, so most every foodie would love to have a basket of their favourites on hand in the kitchen. There are so many different spices to choose from, you could give spice baskets for a few holidays and birthdays to come and still not have covered them all.
Cookbooks Galore
Most foodies love nothing better than trying out a new recipe. So, a collection of cookbooks from around the world makes the perfect gift for them to start trying new dishes. Whether it’s a cookbook from France or a book with Southern-style recipes, you can be sure that your foodie will be in heaven and in the kitchen as soon as you present them with their latest gift.
Kitchen Utensils
You can’t cook without kitchen utensils and the more kitchen stuff they have, the happier a foodie will be. From bamboo spoons to wooden spatulas and spoons to forks, you can’t go wrong with giving a foodie kitchen utensils as a gift.
A Cast Iron Dutch Oven
You can’t very well cook without the proper pots and pans. A genuine foodie knows that cast iron is the best way to go for sturdiness and bringing flavour to your dishes. For example, a high-quality cast iron dutch oven not only cooks well, but the colour pops on the back of the stove, even when it’s not being used, for decorative purposes.
A High-Quality Coffee Maker
No foodie’s kitchen is complete without a high-quality coffee maker. Whether it’s single-serve, espresso, full-serve or a combination of all three, you can’t make a bad choice when it comes to giving a coffee maker to the foodie in your life. Make sure that you add some gourmet coffee in with that gift and you’ll be your foodies friend for life.
A Wine Basket
High-quality, delicious food needs to be paired with high-quality delicious wine. Every foodie knows this, and so should you. Giving a wine basket for a gift is just what the doctor ordered. Just make sure you bone up on which colour goes with which protein, or just get one of each for your foodie friend to be on the safe side. Soon you will be sharing a meal and a glass of wine with your special someone.
These are just a few of the best gifts for the foodie in your life. Foodies love to spend time in the kitchen so, along with these gifts, spend some time with them doing the thing that they love because there is nothing like your time to make a gift complete.
