What to Get Every Food Lover on Your List

It's been said that the quickest way to the heart is through the stomach, and at The Spruce Eats, we give that sentiment a fork and a knife way up. That's why every holiday season, we hunt down exciting assortments of snacks or kitchen wares destined to create future holiday treats and memories.

Food gifts are my favorite. Not only do they make great stocking stuffers and conversation starters, but they're also more sustainable and don't contribute to long-term clutter in the home. Tip: Look for snacks that reference a special moment from the past year, or share a favorite flavor from a recent trip as a kind of edible souvenir. Last year, when travel wasn't possible, Santa brought the flavors of Italy to my boyfriend, filling his stocking with olive oil, pasta, and taralli.

For the foodie who has everything, a clever kitchen gadget or tool, whether a handy wine decanter or a trendy air fryer, is just the ticket. This year, I have my eye on a monogrammed apron and a set of ceramic espresso mugs that can moonlight as mezcal glasses.

If you're looking to send some love to friends and family from afar, we highly recommend these tested and approved gift baskets overflowing with cheese, coffee accoutrements, chocolates, wine, and more. And for the rest of the loved ones on your list, our editors curated the ultimate gift guide for every type of gourmand.
