Holiday Gift Guide for Foodies 2024

In this FIRST-EVER gift guide for foodies, I’ll share my top 20 gifts for the food enthusiast in your life! Ranging from stocking stuffers to legit gifts, I’ve got you covered!

I’ve curated a list of my absolute favorite kitchen items! These are all things I own, have used for a decent amount of time, and LOVE. They would be great for any level of skill in the kitchen, not just for seasoned cooks. I’ve also included a few food items (can’t go wrong with those) in case you’re worried your giftee may have one of the tools I recommend. Let’s get into it!

Cast-iron loaf pan $20

This little loaf pan is probably one of my favorite pieces of bakeware. It looks so classy, and things bake up beautifully in it (like honey banana bread!). Plus, with it being cast-iron and all–it’ll basically last forever. I also use it for no-churn ice cream!

Enameled dutch oven $80

A dutch oven is definitely a must in any kitchen! Not only do they come in beautiful colors, these Lodge dutch ovens are WAY cheaper than Staub (which I also have and love) but I honestly can’t tell a difference in performance.

OXO serrated knife $14

I can’t say enough good things about this knife. I’ve had it for 6 years, I use it ALL THE TIME and it’s still just as sharp as when I bought it. It slices through tomatoes, bread, and well, anything with ease.

Matcha whisk $13

For the homemade matcha newbie or even a pro would appreciate a new matcha whisk! It really is the best for making smooth matcha lattes.

Magnetic measuring spoons $14

I underestimated how nice it would be to have magnetic measuring spoons. It’ SO CONVENIENT. It makes it so easy to keep the whole set together without having them all trapped on a ring. 10/10 recommend.

Boba drinking glass $15

This beautiful glass makes the boba lover feel like they are drinking a fancy tea shop drink (like strawberry bubble tea) in the comfort of their own home!

Hand-held milk frother $7

For the coffee or tea latte lover, this is a must for making the best homemade drinks!

Mini waffle maker $10

While I have a ‘regular’ waffle maker that I do like, I have to say I prefer this little mini one. The downside is it makes one waffle at a time, but I MUCH prefer the size of the waffle so it’s worth it to me! I make these oat flour waffles with my mini waffle maker at least once a month.

Matcha tea gift set $22.95

Jade Leaf makes a great gift set for a complete holiday gift! It includes an electric matcha whisk + milk frother, a stainless steel spoon, and a stainless steel sifter. The perfect starter set for a matcha enthusiast! Don’t forget to add a can of matcha to your order!

Salad dressing shaker $14

I have seriously been loving this salad dressing shaker. I make homemade dressing all. the. time. And this is far superior to a mason jar. It does not leak, has a pour spout (keeps the jar grease-free) and it even comes with a little citrus juicer attachment so you can juice straight into the jar.

Glass storage containers $33

This is a great set with pretty much all the containers most people would need and I’ve been really happy with the quality. I’ve had them for 2 years and they are still in perfect shape.

Sphere ice molds $12

These ice molds are so fun! Their most common use is probably for cocktails, but you can use them anywhere you use ice, such as an iced dirty chai latte!

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat Cookbook $23

This is the perfect book for any foodie. It’s a comprehensive guide to making better tasting food. It’s not your typical cookbook with just recipes and instructions. Saman really teaches you all the how + why some food tastes amazing and some… not so much.

Chimes ginger candies $7

A tasty, chewy little treat for the ginger lover. I have a stash of these in the cupboard at all times.

Manuka honey $13

Any foodie is going to appreciate a high-quality jar of honey!

After-meal tea $14

Another staple in our house! This tea is dubbed after-meal tea for its digestion-soothing components like licorice, ginger and bergamot. It’s so soothing + comforting in the evening after a nice meal.

Sea salt $8

Honestly, no matter how much sea salt I might have in my cupboard I will whole-heartedly appreciate receiving more. I use it on everything from Espresso Brownies to Homemade Everyday Seasoning!
