I do consider myself somewhat of a foodie. In other words, I love creating meals for my family, entertaining, baking as well as eating out at restaurants.
I put this list together thinking of things I have that love while some items might actually be on my wish list!
With further ado, here’s the gift guide for foodies:
Natural Wood Charcuterie Board
When hosting a dinner, I love making a charcuterie board. I find that various cheeses, Italian meats, fruits, and nuts make great appetizers for my guests.
I totally love the natural look of Cookery Castle Extra large board, that live edge look that’s popular right now. And it’s great because it’s large enough you can style your food too!
Silicone Baking Mats
The baker in your life will LOVE these silicone baking mats. Not only are they reusable and non-toxic, but they make cleaning up a breeze.
You can even pop them in the dishwasher! This affordable pack comes in various sizes to fit your baking pans.
Beeswax Wraps
Beeswax wraps are a great eco-friendly alternative to plastic wraps to cover food or to store those yummy leftovers. Also, these wraps are great and I have a drawer full of them at home to prove it.
It’s been well over a year since I’ve bought plastic wraps or baggies.
Wicker Picnic Basket
Take your foodie out on a road trip or a hike and bring your food with you in a wicker basket. I think this would make a very romantic date if you bring some wine along!
Indoor Herb Garden Kit
Why not have accessible fresh herbs at your foodie’s disposal all year round with this indoor herb garden kit.
This starter kit comes with Genovese Basil, Curly Parsley, Dill, Thyme, Thai Basil, and Mint. These fresh herbs are always in season, always fresh, and always local! Can’t beat that!
Cook Books
Here are links to some of my favorite cookbooks. These books I recommend, I own and use ALL. THE. TIME!
Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients
I love the simpleness of the recipe in 5 Ingredients. Jamie’s recipes are quick to make and are so full of taste. OF all the recipes in this book, my favorite recipe is the Crazy Good burger. I will never eat a burger without blue cheese again!
Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics
Barefoot Contessa’s book is not as simple as the Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredient cookbook. In other words, it’s more for those who want to cook to impress and entertain. The recipes are so mouth-watering. I love the Tuscan Lemon Chicken recipe from this book.
Pro tip: Buy the kindle version and save a few dollars and trees!
Everyday Italian by Giada De Laurentiis
I love Italian food, but since I’m a French Canadian, I learned to cook Italian somewhere other than at home. For instance, I learned to make Italian sauce from my friend/roommate years ago. For everything else, I learned from this cookbook by Giada. There are so many go-to recipes from this book. Above all, her Stuffed Tomatoes make top prize as my favorite recipe.

Are we really already thinking about Christmas ? Guess we are approaching winter and better to think of gifts in advance so one can chose something meaningful..
Not one for material gifts but I know a couple of foodies so I will def take inspiration from this
Yes… I’m shopping online mostly this Christmas and with shipping being very delayed this year, it’s starts early.
Great list! I would love to receive any of these items 🙂
A few other good foodie ideas would be some homemade preserves or other local treats in a gift basket, also a zero waste travel kit (even a DIY one) including napkin & utensils for on the go eating.
Great suggestions Jackie. I’d definitely be happy to receive preserves or local honey as a gift anytime!
This is giving me great ideas for my father in law! He’s the cook of my husband’s family and he’s always the hardest one to shop for.
Perfect!
