Christmas will soon be here, and if you’re still deliberating over what to get your friends and family, especially if they’re food lovers, then we have some ideas for you here. But hey, if you’re reading this after the Christmas season is over, or if it’s simply too late for you to purchase something, you might still find some ideas for birthdays, anniversaries, and other special celebrations too! Oh, and there’s always next Christmas to remember, so you might want to start your gift buying early!
#1: A Christmas gift box
Many food companies sell specially made gift boxes at this time of year, with all kinds of foods that cater for all tastes. Your local supermarket will have plenty on offer, but be sure to check your local bakery too, and do a search online. There are far too many for us to list here, but for an example, why not choose something that comes recommended by Oprah Winfrey herself (according to their website); this soft pretzel gift box. The company sells gift cards too, so for any pretzel lovers in your life, you have a choice of excellent presents. Alternatively, shop around when considering the foods your friends and family members enjoy.
#2: A food subscription
It’s the gift that just keeps on giving! There are all kinds of subscription boxes available, from buns and cakes to meaty goods and vegetarian offerings. These gifts are perfect for those people who have very specific tastes, and especially for any of your friends on a budget, they are a great way for them to save money on food too! Again, there are too many subscription boxes for us to list here – you can do your own Google search online – but when it comes to healthier options, you might want to consider something from the Harry and David Fruit Club. With all kinds of fruity foods on offer, you can do much to help your friends and family stay healthy in the new year.
#3: Make your own edible gifts
For the personal touch, you might decide not to buy something at all. Instead, consider creating something yourself, and personalize it to make it extra special. So, you might bake a Christmas cake with the person’s name written in the icing, for example, or you could make your own sweet items, and place them in a jar or tin that has been personalized with the person’s name, face photo, or something else that has personal significance. Check out these homemade gift ideas, and then remember to buy the required packaging such as these cardboard tubes to keep them safe from harm.
#4: A food appliance
For those people who are always telling you they want to cook more, but who don’t have the right appliances at home, you might want to see this site and look for something that they might need in their kitchen. As gift ideas, you might consider this wonderful ceramic fondue set for the cheese lovers in your life, for example, or you could consider this air fryer for those who want to make fried food the healthy way. There are all kinds of other things you could consider, of course, from blenders to slow cookers, so think about the people you’re buying for, and the essential appliances that would benefit their lives. Make sure that these appliances meet the PAT testing requirements and electrical safety regulations. Hire compliance testing experts to assist you.
Those where just a few ideas, so we hope they were useful to you. And hey, even if you have nobody else to buy for, you could always consider some of these ideas for yourself, because after all, you deserve to treat yourself as well, right?
Today as we were driving across town, I saw a new (to me) restaurant/store called Just Fit Food – ElevAte. Your post reminded me that I wanted to look them up tonight so just did. Looks like they provide one meal prep for healthy foods. Thinking a gift certificate to something like that would be a godsend to both of my daughters. Thank you for the inspiration.
