Gifts that Keep on Giving: Gift Ideas for Food Lovers

Special occasions call for special gifts, but finding the perfect present is not always easy. Luckily,

everybody appreciates food and wine, especially the foodies, which makes food, wine and

accessories a welcome gift. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or the holidays, here are some

gift ideas that will satisfy even the most discerning palates.

Wine and Decanter Set

Foodie or not, a bottle or two of wine always makes for a nice gift.

Because these spirits are common, make the gift more unique by

throwing in a wine accessory set. A corkscrew, a few bottles, and a

decanter set can instantly make anyone a wine connoisseur.

This gift set can provide an erudite and witty exploration of all the

accessories and accoutrements that can enhance any wine drinking

experience.

Food Mill and Mortar-and-Pestle Set

Back when food processors and blenders weren’t kitchen staples,

food mills, mortars and pestles were the favourite tools of home

cooks. These were used for almost everything, from mashing

potatoes, and making pesto to creating spice pastes and other

recipe essentials. Both accessories allow the foodie to really enjoy

the cooking process, as they get to make everything from scratch.

Salt and Spice Collection

Nothing provides more kitchen inspiration than a pantry or

cupboard full of spices and seasonings. Different herbs and spices

they may have never heard of are a great way to stimulate their

senses and try something new. Add a special touch by arranging

the artisan salts and spices in a homemade basket or spice box.

A Sundry Basket

A basket of goodies filled with their favourite things, from chips and

wine, to cookies and coffee can be a great way of showing your

friends just how much you know and love them. This gift set is

customisable, so anything can go in. A bottle of wine or beer, a pack

of their favourite coffee blend or tea, some chocolates, or their

favourite sauces and seasonings can all go together in one gift

hamper. There’s also a big chance that they will actually love and use

everything in that basket.

It’s okay to give any gift, but it’s always better if there’s some thought that goes into finding the

perfect one. After all, it’s the thought that counts.
