A Holiday Gift Guide: Tools, Treats, and Trifles for Food Lovers | The New Yorker
November 16, 2025 - Given how “tweezer food” has become something of a gastronomic punch line, I’ve been shocked by how I’ve come to rely on a pair of pointed cooking tweezers ($24), for turning small things in a hot pan or fishing out the bouquet garni from a pot of soup, or click-clacking together happily for no reason at all.

2 weeks ago - There’s also an appropriate pick for every occasion: inexpensive stocking stuffers like a package of high-quality popcorn, thoughtful host offerings for all those parties you’re about to attend (it’s not a competition, but they might very well be happier to receive small-batch maple syrup than yet another bottle of wine), and all-out showstoppers like an indulgent tasting set of caviar or curated gift box full of fancy biscuits and teas.

Spice mixes are a great gift. I once ran around to all sorts of food stores from different cultures and bought spices for a friend who loves cooking. African, India, southern USA ect. Great fun for me and them. And the food I got to eat was phenomenal. More on reddit.com

December 5, 2024 - Somehow, cheese is one of the most expensive gift ideas on this whole list. Who woulda thunk it? You could very easily find a great local cheese shop and ask the cheese monger/shop worker to help you put together a far more affordable spread. You could also send a fabulous assortment from Cowgirl Creamery across the country (via Goldbelly, which you should check out for a huge variety of food-related gifts) or a full charcuterie board from Boarderie.

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?

February 9, 2016 - I think they are pretty too, so they make a nice gift. My oldest daughter makes these Oreo bite things that have cream cheese and Oreos and stuff in them and are dipped in chocolate. Those are always a hit too. I just saw these today: http://foodal.com/recipes/desserts/marzipan-hazelnut-chocolates/ I would happily receive a batch of those.

I've realized high end food makes a great gift cause it's something that most people are never buying for themselves. Also it's usually quite 'cheap' relative to other gifts.

Last year I bought official Balsamic Vinegar from Modena and a bottle of chili infused olive oil (both great gifts I might add). Looking for more things like that.

Also my grandma loves Licorice All Sorts - what is the best version of those you can get?

October 27, 2021 - She's a teacher, and is in early and home late and does not always have time to make the dough and let it rest blah blah blah. I'm hoping I can inspire others to consider gifting cookie dough to the busy moms of littles that are within their community. I also do individually flash-frozen cookie dough in other flavors to be baked off in small portions all year.

September 9, 2025 - Whole-wheat flour and sesame seeds give these rustic crackers a nutty, earthy flavor that we can't get enough of. They would be a welcome addition to any cheese platter. To pack them up as a gift, find a small cheese board (we love the modern look of slate) and roll dough just a tad smaller than the board.
