We all have those people in our social circles, whether it’s a friend or relative, who seems to live and breathe all things food. You know the people, the ones that don’t just love food, but LOVE food. The type that visits all the big food festivals, is always dabbling in new cuisines every few months and watches cookery shows on television and have a whole library full of recipe books and other forms of food journalism. As much as you love them and their peculiarities, it can often be intimidating buying gifts for them.
It doesn’t have to be though. There are lots of food-centered gifts you can get for the foodies in your life even when you are on a tight budget.
In the post below, we are going to look at just some of the great options out there, so please take inspiration from these ideas when choosing the next gift for your foodie friends.
New Cookbooks
Even if they have lots of cookbooks, there are always more being released every year. If you know their favorite author or chef, you could preorder their latest offering, if they have one, before your foodie friend does and give it to them as a gift. Cookbooks are generally inexpensive unless it’s a special edition, so it’s unlikely to set you back too much.
Voucher for a Cookery Course
You could help feed their obsession and passion for cooking by gifting them a voucher for a cookery class. There are such a wide variety of options out there these days. So, if you know they are especially interested in sugar craft or baking, there are classes for those techniques. However, if they are more interested in cooking hearty meat dishes or even carving, you can find plenty of options out there. You could also turn it into a day out for both of you – this is a great idea to make less money go further, because there are often chances to buy two for one voucher.
Gourmet Gift Towers
How about you, for a very small amount of money, spoil them with lots of their favorite in one stunning package? Gourmet gift towers are one kind of gift that looks great without costing the world. You have the option to choose the contents of specific towers, so you can always tailor it to the recipients tastes and preferences. Are they really a big cookie lover at heart or do they prefer to have lots of fancy artisan cheese? Whatever they like or prefer, you will be able to find a suitably appealing gift tower that will tick all their boxes.
Modern Kitchen Gadget
It’s likely that they already have a very well-equipped kitchen. However, you still could find a great new gizmo or gadget, even if it’s something as small as a garlic peeler or smart meat thermometer. They will likely appreciate that you put a lot of effort into thinking of a gift they’d really find useful.
