Fun and Delicious Foodie Gifts

Let’s dive into our list of gift ideas for foodies. You’ll find something for every kind of food lover.

Food Presents

1. Chocolates

Always a home run with chocolates. It’s a go-to gift that you can never go wrong with.

You can splurge on a box of chocolates from Godiva or find something more fitting for the wallet, like Sees Candies.

If there are any local small chocolate shops in your area, I suggest stopping in and supporting a local business. A box of beautiful chocolates is always a warm welcome.

And, have to taste while you’re there.

2. Chocolate-Covered Fruit

One of my all-time favorite gifts is a fruit basket or chocolate-covered fruit from Edible Arrangements.

I’ve received several throughout the years, and they never disappoint. The fruit is always fresh and sweet, and the chocolate-covered ones are always a plus. They are great for sharing.

Foodie Gift Idea: Have some fun and save yourself some money. Make chocolate strawberries or fruit at home to package it up nicely as a thoughtful gift. 

3. Cheese Selection

A well-put-together cheese basket is a great gift, especially during the holiday season.

At the office, we send a few clients a collection of cheese boxes from Cowgirl Creamery and always receive positive feedback.

Sometimes I call local gourmet cheese shops in different cities. I have them prepare specialty gift boxes to be delivered and pair them with specialty wines and other treats.

Harry & David have a great selection of meat & cheese charcuterie boards you can have delivered. Who doesn’t love a charcuterie board?

4. Popcorn

Gourmet popcorn is great for families to share. Whether you gift them a mix of specialty-flavored popcorn or a popcorn machine, it’s a great snack all year round.

Porpcornopolis has a variety of different flavors for every occasion.

5. Local Baked Goods

Think of their favorite bakery or baked goods. Whether the location is near them or you, order their favorite and surprise them with delivery.

Last year, my dog’s physical therapists mentioned her obsession with pies. So, I ordered her a blueberry pie from our favorite local pie spot and delivered it when I dropped my dog off for a session. She LOVED it and went on and on about it the next time I returned.

Foodie Gifts: Subscriptions & Gifts Cards

6. Butcher Box

If your foodie is a carnivore, they will appreciate a gift box or subscription from Butcher Box. They deliver 100% quality organic meats, chicken, and fish. With just one box, you’ll be saving them money on groceries.

As a huge fan and subscriber of Butcher Box, I highly recommend it. We look forward to our box every month.

7. Cratejoy

Cratejoy has a variety of snack, beverage, or food subscription boxes that any foodie will love. Sign up for one month or two, and cancel at any time.

8. Gift Certificate to their Favorite Restaurant

Think of their favorite establishments or places they’ve wanted to try.

Gift certificates can sometimes be impersonal, but they do not have to be. This kind of gift means that you gave it thought and you were paying attention.

Foodie Gift Idea
Pair the gift certificate with their favorite bottle of wine or champagne. Maybe they can bring the bottle to the restaurant, as long as the restaurants allow it.

9. Goldbelly

Foodies normally love to eat out and try all the best restaurants. A gift from Goldbelly will allow them to try dishes from some of the most popular foodie spots around the US.

Cooking & Kitchen Gift Ideas for Foodies

10. Cookbooks

A cookbook is a thoughtful gift idea for foodies or anyone that enjoys cooking. Present them with a cookbook with recipes of their favorite cuisine or, perhaps, something that helps them prepare quick meals.

It’s also budget-friendly. This is a foodie gift under $20 and will get lots of use and mileage throughout the years to come.

11. InstantPot

An InstantPot is the kitchen appliance everyone should have in their kitchen. I have gifted this appliance and still get unsolicited appreciation for how much it has changed this person’s life.

Yes, it’s that amazing. It helps save time in the kitchen and helps prepare fantastic meals. During the fall and winter, it’s the best appliance to prepare cozy soups, chili, and stews.

If your foodie doesn’t have one, I’m 99% sure they have their eye on one.

12. Air Fryer

An air fryer is another fantastic kitchen appliance that has recently become popular. You can make everything from fries to a roast in one (depending on how big it is).

Everything comes out delicious, crispy, and healthier than an actual fryer.

I own the Cuisineart Airfryer Oven, and we LOVE it.

13. KitchenAid Mixer

A kitchen aid mixer is a dream appliance for foodies that love to bake. They will be able to whip cream in a matter of seconds. Mix dough without having to

The best part of a KitchenAid mixer is that there are attachments they can buy down the line that makes this appliance versatile. Like, a pasta maker.

14. Personalized Pizza Board

A personalized pizza board is a great addition to any kitchen. Not only does it look cool against a backsplash, but you’ll also inspire any foodie to start making their own pizza if they haven’t already.

Foodie Gift Idea
Pair the pizza board with a pizza cutter, a pizza dough kit, and some pizza sauce.

15. Pasta Maker

Fresh pasta is the best! Who doesn’t love Italian cuisine?

A pasta maker is one of those gifts most people don’t usually think of buying for themselves. Once they are gifted with one, the idea of making sounds fun and doable. It will quickly become a Sunday favorite activity.

16. Fondue

This fondue set will create cheese, chocolate, and many memories. It’s fun, classic, and always a yummy time.

17. Le Creuset Cookware

If you’re looking to impress a foodie who loves cooking, a gift from Le Creuset will have them swooning. There is no wrong choice from the skillet to the dutch oven to their cast iron pans. This is cookware that will and should last a lifetime.

Foodie Couple Gift Ideas

18. Cooking Classes

A cooking class is a great activity that involves food. If you’re looking for a gift for a couple that shares a love for food, this option will provide a fun time with delicious food, and perhaps they’ll even make new friends.

19. A Food Tour

There isn’t a foodie I know that doesn’t love a great food tour. Check in their local neighborhood and nearest city for food tours near them. Perhaps plan and surprise them with a foodie walking tour. You’ll never know what you’ll discover.

This cute journal is a fantastic foodie gift for the person in your life that loves to eat out. They record where they eat, what they ordered, and how much it costs to refer back later. This is a great place to keep notes before posting to social media.

The notebook is the perfect size to keep stored away somewhere handy without taking up too much space.

As someone that owns a cupcake charm, I can stand behind this gift idea for foodies. Think of their favorite food, and then find one token you’ll know they will cherish.
