Have a foodie in your life and just not sure what to buy them? Here’s our gift guide of food based gifts that anyone will love; from edible treats to subscription boxes. Never be stuck with gift ideas again!

Make it homemade

If your budget is tight, opting for homemade gifts can be a cost-effective solution and they show just how much you care! Why not try baking them their favourite cake-such as this slimming world carrot cake recipe– or perhaps make a batch of your own unique olive oil infused in delicious herbs? Take it to the next level by creating personalised labels and jars to store your homemade creations proudly! A truly personal and thoughtful gift.

Opt for a subscription

For most of us, a trip from the postman just brings more bills and reminders so liven up your friend or family’s letterbox by treating them to a subscription! There are subscriptions for every type of food and drink around-from cheese boards to cocktail kits. There’s often the option to treat someone to a single box or even a 3 or 6-month subscription for the gift that keeps on giving month after month. If you’re looking for something more health-conscious, then consider a healthy snack box subscription from Treat Trunk which promises to deliver sugar sensible, vegan-friendly snacks to your door each month! Whatever you choose, subscription boxes are the perfect foodie treat.

Virtual Events

Another great gift option is food and drink events and experiences. At the moment, many face-to-face events still aren’t up and running but virtual ones still offer a great date night from the sofa. Why not treat your loved one to a wine tasting or perhaps even a 1-2-1 virtual cookery class with their favourite chef? It’ll be an experience they never forgot and may help them pick up new foodie skills too!

Recipe Books

Recipe books are another great gift idea for foodies to enjoy. If you know they have a favourite chef, restaurant or type of cuisine, then gifting them a recipe book is the perfect gift idea! You might even be able to nab a signed copy for them to make it extra special. If they’ve already got plenty of recipe books, perhaps a recipe book holder for their kitchen may work just as well?

Gift vouchers

Another hassle-free gift idea can be gift vouchers for their favourite restaurant. This gives them the flexibility to book whenever they wish and you’ll know they will definitely be put to good use for something they love!

However, if you’re not sure what their favourite restaurant is (or perhaps they have too many to choose from!), then you can still opt for a generic restaurant voucher instead. For example, Tastecard or a scheme like buy a gift-which allows the recipient to use their vouchers at thousands of local restaurants and dining experiences at a time that suits them.

We hope these tips have given you some ideas to treat the foodie in your life!
