We all know a foodie or three. I’ll even throw my hands up and say I’m one myself! But what do you get a foodie person for Christmas? It’s likely they’ve already got the latest cookbook or a bag full of tea towels. So how about a little something different? These are my top unique gifts for the foodie in your life.
AnySharp Pro
Before you roll your eyes about giving kitchen gadgets away as Christmas gifts. This is a MUST have even if you don’t know it yet. It’s a pro knife sharpener and I can honestly say it’s changed my life since I’ve used it. All of my knives and scissors have been given a new lease of life and there’s something quite satisfying about giving something life again. It’s a quirky but good looking gadget that’s available in over a dozen colours so it can match almost any kitchen decor. It really is a helpful gadget and if I got this in my stocking, I’d be grateful that I’d got something that’s actually going to benefit me! (Especially with that Turkey to carve).
Wine & Dine Gift Vouchers
If you’re looking for the perfect gift for the foodie lover that seems to have everything, then wine & dine gift vouchers are for you. From wine tours to Central Thai home cooking in the heart of Bangkok. These are incredible gifts but also amazing memories. They don’t break the bank either (believe it or not!) and it would pretty much be a dream come true for any foodies to get a gift like this. There’s so much to choose from too, so there’s an experience for even the trickiest of people. If you know someone who’s about to embark on their travels this is a fab gift for them, find them an experience in the place that they’re visiting and it’ll help them get to know more about the local area and feel more at home. We’re all craving something different these days so wine and dine gift vouchers are the perfect solution.
Colour Pop Enamel Dish
It’s likely that the foodie in your life enjoys cooking as well as eating. So this colour pop enamel dish is such a good gift. It’s from the great foodie website Sous Chef. Not only does it look amazing with its half colour pop and half dotty design but it’s so practical too. It’s a frying pan and a serving dish in one. That’s right. You can fry your eggs for breakfast and then dish up your chorizo for your dinner party later. Cottage pie for one? this is your pan. Every dish is hand made and therefore unique. Your foodie friend won’t be able to find another like it. It comes in different colours too so you can choose one that suits, but this purple shade totally got me. Oh and it’s also Dishwasher safe, and oven safe up to 250°C. Winning!
Winter Warmer Wicker Tray from Cartwright and Butler
This is Christmas in a wicker basket. From warming spiced plum and cinnamon-infused preserve to Dark chocolate ginger biscuits. If you’re looking for a foodie Christmas gift this is it. It’s a lovely little package that looks really high end and tastes it too. The foodie will revel in the fact that the biscuits are made with real butter and the preserve balances 5 fruits so perfectly. It’s a lovely Christmas Eve gift or even to take with you as an after Christmas dinner treat. It’s a foodies dream tbh.
Personalised Wishing You A Merry Christmas Plate
Anything personalised is a winner if you’re looking for a unique gift and this Merry Christmas Plate is spot on for any foodie. Whether your foodie friend uses it to eat off of or to display, it’s a lovely gift that they can use or treasure. There’s so much thought behind it too that they’ll love it. It comes well packaged too so you can just wrap the box with festive paper knowing it’s safe. The Bone China 10 inch plate can be personalised with up to 15 characters too. It’s a lovely keepsake and any food lover will be over the moon with this.
Cooks Diary 2020
It is what it says it is. A cooks diary. But before you bypass it, let me explain why this is one of the best 2020 foodie gifts for the person that has everything. Yes, it’s a diary (who doesn’t need one of them?!) but there’s so much more too it. Not only is it a beautiful colourful design, but it’s full of wonderful recipes for throughout the year too. It’s like a diary and a cookbook in one. Each week to view page has a mouth-watering recipe to try plus essential cooking tips and tricks. There’s a sticker page to help customise your diary and it’s just a really lovely thing to have if you plan on cooking more in 2020. A fab little gift for the foodie in your life.
Degustabox Subscription
You know what? Christmas doesn’t just have to be one day. You can make someone feel extra special with a subscription box that arrives once per month for however long you like. For the foodie gift – a Degustabox is just great. It’s a monthly surprise of food and drink treats which let’s be honest, is pretty damn exciting if you’re a foodie. It’s like getting a Christmas present every month! Each box is filled with 10 -15 products which are usually new and always exciting and it always works out cheaper than if you were to buy it all individually. This is perfect for the person that has everything – because even you don’t know what they’ll be getting!
Sustainable Rice Husk Travel Cup
If you’re looking for a foodie gift for that coffee or tea drinker in your life – this is it! the sustainable travel cup from Huski Home is made from recycled rice husk. It’s also a family run business which is always great to support and the travel cups are super aesthetically pleasing. Mine is a gorgeous duck egg blue but they come in an array of colours. The cups are made to keep drinks hot or cold for up to 90 minutes, so perfect for the commute to work too. They come in medium and large sizes, plus they’re great on the purse strings too. They cost the same as two coffee shop coffees – so you can work the maths out in your head!
Peng Ting Mug
From drinking coffee on your commute to drinking in the comfort of your own home, this You’re Peng mug is a fab unique gift. From Secret Santa presents to the tea drinker in your life. This mug is for everyone, young or old, on-trend or just a classic coffee goer. It’s a conversation starter and will definitely stand out from the rest of the mugs in anyone’s house. It’s dishwasher and microwave safe too. Well worth a go.
Coffee Capsule Machine – Capsulier Lite
This new to the market coffee capsule machine is here to help you with the most unique foodies’ gift EVER! If you’ve got a coffee lover in your life, this is the one gift you need. It’s the only machine that enables you to make your own reusable Nespresso pods. 29,000 Nespresso pods end up in landfill every hour -how scary is that! By using this machine, you’ll have the power to make your own flavours and blends, plus help the environment at the same time. How amazing is that?
Personalised Christmas Sweetie Jar
Christmas isn’t Christmas without a sweet treat or two… am I right? This personalised Christmas sweetie jar is the perfect gift for the sweet-toothed person. Filled with retro sweets that we all know and love, you’re able to personalise the tub with a name, greeting and message. It’s a fun, easy gift that you know so many people will love, but the personalisation is what makes this unique. Oh, and you can use the jar again and again once you’ve munched through the goodies!
Personalised Slate Serving Board
I have this serving board and I’ve used it so much I forgot to take a festive shot of it, but this is when it first arrived. It’s a real on-trend foodie item. Whether you use it as a chopping board or to serve up your best Christmas cheese, it’s a fab kitchen item to have floating around. Of course, the personalisation makes it even better and turns it into a great, quirky Christmas gift.
