So whether you’re shopping for a foodie or need some ideas on what to ask for I think you’ll find this little foodie gift guide helpful! I’ve divided it into a few categories: stocking stuffers, gifts for the hostess, gifts for the baker, and gifts for the grill master.

Stocking Stuffers
Pink Macaron Ornament
Every holiday season Sur la Table comes out with the most beautiful handmade glass food ornaments and this pink macaron is always my fave.
Homemade Cookie Stamps
I have been eyeing these more months!
BACON Chocolate Bar
I mean… this is a given. It’s as much for the novelty as it is for the taste!
Rub Away Bar
Removes the odor of foods like garlic, onions, and fish from your hands.
For the Hostess
Gilded Monogram DOF Glasses
Fancy shmancy. Get the recipient’s initial or a set to spell out a festive word such as JOY or NOEL.
Gold Pineapple Salt and Pepper Shaker Set
DYING over these! I love anything gold and anything pineapple and these are just too adorable.
Raised Bloom Pie Server
How precious are these?! A beautiful pie calls for a beautiful pie server. I love gifts that can be used on Christmas day too.
Set of 2 Faux Fur Wine Bags
Faux fur is SO in right now. Okay that’s the last obnoxious fashion statement you’ll ever hear from me (mostly because I know nothing about fashion).
Marble and Acacia Wood Cheese Paddle
I’m a sucker for anything marble + wood and this cheese paddle would elevate any dinner party to a whole new level.
For the Baker
Pastry Tip Set
These are the pastry tips I use to make gorgeous cupcakes that could totally win a Cupcake War. They are absolutely perfect for piping beautiful frosting designs and are a must in any baker’s collection.
OXO Cookie Scoops
These are SO HANDY. From scooping cookie dough to batter to meatballs to anything you need to be uniformly sized and shaped. If you’re gifting, be sure to buy all three sizes.
Donut Baking Pan
Making donuts is ridiculously easy and much healthier with this handy pan.
Timber and Ore Rolling Pin
Almost too pretty to use! Almost.
Nordic Ware Bundt Pan
I love homemade bundt cakes. But sadly a lot of bundt pans stick so when you go to release the cake it turns into a messy disaster. Enter this beautiful professional-quality pan!
Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker
In 2011 I tested over 50 recipes for my cookbook with this ice cream maker and it STILL works to this day.
Kitchen Scale
I would bargain that the majority of baking fails and disappointments stem from inaccuracy, especially when it comes to measuring ingredients. The best thing you can do to improve your baking, to make your friends and family praise your baking prowess, is to start using a kitchen scale. Seriously. Do it! Add it to your wishlist, gift it to your baking friend, or just buy one right now because it’ll change your baking forever.
Marble board
The perfect elegant gift for anyone who bakes from scratch, or even anyone interested in food photography, a marble board keeps your pastry as beautiful as the marble itself. Just note that this is very heavy, so wrapping may be a bit of a challenge!
The Ultimate Cookie Handbook
Of course I had to include my digital eBook here because it’s the perfect resource for anyone enthusiastic about baking and cookie making! It shows you exactly how to create your perfect cookie through the baking of science.
For the Grill Master
Pitt Mitt
When I worked at a kitchenware store in college we couldn’t keep these in stock. They’re perfect for keeping your hand safe in those brief moments when you need to get close to the heat or grab something hot.
Spiceologist 4-Pack Rub Collection
Spiceologist is run by a fellow food blogger, Heather, and their spices kick butt. I haven’t tried everything in this particular set but it all sounds scrumptious.
Himalayan Salt BlockMineral-rich salt block enhances the flavors of anything placed on it, making it great for grilling, chilling, or serving your favorite foods and dishes. Surprisingly, it can withstand temperatures from -320°F to 900F° and if well cared for, can last for years.
Ceramic Grill Grid
We had a cheapie metal grill grid that lasted maybe one grilling season before it basically turned into carbon. This ceramic version is heat resistant up to 700°F, has a nonstick glaze, and is light-weight. It’s perfect for grilling smaller items like asparagus, peppers, or shrimp, or food that sticks easily like salmon.
Thanks, these are some great gifts…!!
Wow that salt block is super cool! What else could you cook on it? I bet steaks would be amazing!
Definitely! Pretty much anything!!
