Holiday Gift Ideas for Foodies

From kitchen gadgets to kitchen must-haves, these gift ideas will give you the inspiration you need for the foodies in your life!

We’re getting close to Christmas and you may need a gift idea for the foodie in your life (or yourself)! I enjoy cooking, creating new recipes, and I must have handy tools and gadgets to do so. This post contains affiliate links. I may earn for qualifying purchases at no cost to you.

Guess what else? If you want to avoid the holiday hustle, like me, you can shop online! I am an Amazon Prime member and I love the FREE Two Day shipping all year long! You can find everything on Amazon without leaving the comfort of your home.

 

I have put together gift ideas that will make the foodie in your life very happy!

The Air Fryer

If there’s a healthier way to fry…this is it! When I discovered the AirFryer, I knew I had to have it! Just because you are health-conscious doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your favorite foods. Imagine fresh-cut fries with 70% less fat compared to the deep fryer. LOVE IT!

UPDATE! I had my Philips AirFryer a little over six years. I loved it. It has gone on to glory. I will say, it makes the BEST fries (amongst many other things), and they taste better than any restaurant or fast-food chain. I’ve also cooked Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings and faux fried veggies! SO GOOD! 

We love options!

Another favorite air fryer that gives OPTIONS is the Ninja Foodi DUAL. This is the one we have now and I really like it. Yes, I still miss my original air fryer, but this one is nice. We opted for this one because we already have a George Foreman grill which we rarely use (we love our charcoal grill). This is perfect when you want to cook multiple foods at one time. You can find it on Amazon here! 

 

The French Press

French Press Coffee & Tea Maker  – If you are a coffee lover, you may consider coffee a necessity right on up there with food. A friend of mine swears by French Press coffee. I am excited about getting one for myself, especially since I grind my own coffee beans. You can even take it to work and enjoy the aromas at your desk! You can find this fancy one here and here!

Electric Kettle 

Temperature Control Stainless Steel Electric Kettle – Of course if you want to enjoy your French Press coffee (or tea) at work or anywhere else, you need hot water. This stainless steel electric kettle is convenience at your fingertips. I love the kettle in red, too! This one is a hot seller. Tis the season!

The Gift of Cast Iron 

If you don’t have cast iron skillets in your life, you need them STAT! We still have the one that our Grandmother passed down. I needed to complete the set so I ended up purchasing the rest. Every cook and foodie needs a set of pre-seasoned cast iron skillets. You can also find a 3-Piece Set here.

NUTRIBULLET

I have been a fan of the NutriBullet since the beginning. I have created hundreds of smoothies, ground coffee beans, milled seeds, and whatever else you can think of. Now they have the Extraction system, which is perfect for those who enjoy or want to start juicing. The blades break tough seeds, thick stems, and tough skin to access the nutritional benefits. With the new year coming up and resolutions being made, this will make the perfect gift! I also like the price. You can always opt another option like the Vitamix if it’s within your budget. I own one an I absolutely love it. You can find it here.

 

The Spiralizer 

I also love spiralizing veggies! If you remember my Tomato with Cream Sauce recipe found here, then you know that I used a vegetable slicer (spiralizer) to create my Zoodles. The perfect carb-free food that helps you get those veggies in! This spiralizer is worth the upgrade. Two great options here and here. 

 

Measuring Cup Set 

Pyrex 3-Piece Glass Measuring Cup Set – I love everything Pyrex! OK! Obviously there’s a pattern here with my love-love relationship with kitchen gadgets. If you’re going to get them, you must have the set. I have had my set for almost a decade and they have held up nicely. 

Slow-Cooker 

 I love everything about a slow cooker, especially this time of year. Just put your ingredients in and let the cooker do the cookin’! To make your experience even better, you can Set ‘n Forget it! I have two slow cookers. I guess you can tell that I love them. Can’t live without them.

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

The Shred Diet Cookbook – Don’t let the word “diet” fool you. I used the Super Shred book to help me get out of my plateau. There’s also the Shred Revolutionary book found here. It’s all about eating healthy and balance. If you followed my Super Shred journey then you know I’m a fan of Dr. Ian Smith. People always ask, “Can you eat on Shred?” Now you know there’s a cookbook to prove it! I received this cookbook from a sweet friend and I love it. It has tons of great recipes. Doesn’t Artichoke Stir Fry and Sweet Potato Wedges with Ginger-Soy Glaze sound amazing? Yep! They are in the book! 

 

 

 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
