Unique Christmas Gifts for Your Foodie Friends
We are fast approaching the 2016 holiday season, a season that is perfect for foodies. As a foodie yourself, there’s no doubt you’re already looking for great Christmas gift ideas for family and friends. Welcome to the wonderful world of being a foodie. Gift giving is one of the most amazing things we can participate in – not only for ourselves but also to introduce others to what it means to be a foodie.
Assuming you haven’t even started your Christmas shopping, we have some great gift ideas for you. All these ideas make great gifts for your foodie family and friends, and even those who might not necessarily consider themselves foodies – yet.
Molten Chocolate Cake Kit
Nothing says Christmas more than an authentic, French-style molten chocolate cake. The good news is that you don’t need to worry about giving a gift that requires cooking when you order a kit with everything the recipient needs to make a tremendous desert. Red Velvet is a New York company with a kit that costs just $20. The kit comes complete with easy-to-understand instructions. When you order from the website, you’ll be able to see a full list of ingredients as well a list of tools the recipient of your gift will need to make this delicious cake.
Olive Oil Tasting Kit
Every foodie knows that a cook’s choice of oils can make or break a dish. We also know how important olive oil is to good cooking. So why not consider an olive oil tasting kit from a company known as Olive Oil Lovers? This kit offers six sample bottles of different olive oils from around the world. Once the recipient receives the box, he or she can begin tasting each one with the help of an associated app that guides the taster through the tasting process to develop a unique palate profile. That palate profile can then be used for purchasing olive oil in the future.
Milk Bar Crack Pie®
This pie doesn’t look like much out of the box, but whoever receives it as a Christmas present from you will instantly be converted from the first bite. The Crack Pie® from Milk Bar is a sweet, gooey pie made with butter, sugar, eggs, heavy cream and more. This creation gets its name from the fact that it is extremely hard to resist once you have that first bite. And yes, it is very much worth a price north of $40.
Personalized Ice Cream
For the foodie who loves ice cream, the opportunity to create a unique, personalized flavor is a chance to do something truly amazing. ECreamery, an online seller of high-end frozen desserts, will make just about anything you or your loved one can think of. Create your own flavor and allow three business days for its production and shipping. There is a four-pint minimum, and you can create recipes based on sorbate, gelato, or traditional ice cream.
Amber Beer Brewing Kit
Lastly, if the recipient of your great Christmas gift is a beer lover, you should seriously consider an amber beer brewing kit from Uncommon Goods. This particular kit includes everything necessary to brew amber ale with a smoky, chipotle flavor. It is the perfect holiday beer for those cold winter nights. Uncommon Goods offers other beer brewing kits as well. If you don’t like chipotle as a beer flavor, consider the Vermont Maple or Southern Bourbon kits as alternatives.
Christmas is the ultimate season for foodies. Thank goodness there are plenty of great gift ideas for those who love great food!
