50 DIY Edible Gift Ideas You Can Make Right Now
December 6, 2025 - Her take on Roscioli’s dish, a deliberately plain cracker with a thin tube of vanilla butter and a very good-quality Spanish anchovy, has been on the menu at her NYC restaurant El Quinto Pino ever since. Chances are, your friend doesn't have vanilla butter lying around which makes this an unexpected but lovely gift. This spicy little number might look like regular old cayenne. But make no mistake: It's the most powerful new player you can add to giftee's salt-and-pepper rotation—for your eggs or anything else at risk of being humdrum.

r/Cooking on Reddit: What are some homemade food items that can be given as Christmas gifts?
December 7, 2023 -

For the past few years I've tried to save money by making gift baskets of homemade food items. It's fun to spend a couple of weeks mass producing different treats, and it feels more meaningful that I've made everything by hand. Here are some of the things I've made in the past: little jars of Dulce de Leche, cherries soaked in maraschino liquor, limoncello, beef jerky, candied pecans, bottles of balsamic reduction, and "Old Fashioned/Manhattan kits" (not homemade, but it fit with the theme).

I'm running a bit low on inspiration for this year. Does anyone have ideas for food that can be made in bulk?

Edible Food Gifts from the Heart - Sharon Palmer, The Plant Powered Dietitian
January 8, 2025 - Bake up a batch of this yummy Vegan Whole Wheat Banana Bread as the perfect edible holiday gift. How do you pick out the right foods for gift giving? Sometimes, it’s as simple as whipping up that recipe you make that everyone raves about (for me it’s my legendary pumpkin bread). Other times it’s about using your own veggie garden or fruit trees for inspiration, such as my home-made orange marmalade and dried apricots from the orchard. Another thing I love to do with homemade food gifts is to involve the whole family.
