We all have the foodie, the chef and lovers of all things culinary in our lives. These are a few gifts that, as a self-proclaimed "foodie" I would really enjoy receiving!
1. Wine Pairing Towels- I think this is the coolest thing, with one for reds and one for whites these towels display optimal pairing choices for just about everything you can think of.
2. Ultimate Grilling Rub Collection: We love to grill in my house, and this set of grill rubs covers just about all the flavor bases so we can be sure to mix it up and get creative the next time we tailgate!
3. Rachel Ray Rocking Knife: This is so, SO essential. Perfect for those tough veggies... I love that you can slice in and "rock" your way right down to cho like a pro. Must have!
4. Mushroom Growing Kit: Because we all love to "grow" it ourselves. This is such a cool gift in my eyes, I would have a blast growing and cooking up my very own mushrooms!
5. Food Network Magazine: I'm obsessed. I do a happy dance every time I receive this in the mail. Husband, I will be wanting a renewal on my subscription this Christmas!
6. Salts of the World Set: I LOVE this. I am a salt fanatic, but even if you aren't how fun is it to cook with these salts from around the world? I have kind of had a thing for Pink Himalayan Sea Salt for a while and I definitely spy that one in this kit. Cooking with salt from caves in Switzerland and from deep in the ocean? Sign me up!
7. CSA Membership: This is an awesome and thoughtful gift. CSA's are local farms (the link I provided takes you to a page where you can search for local farms in your state). Once you sign up for a membership (half or full) every month you will get a crate or box of the fresh veggies that are in season. This is a great way to support your local economy but its also a great way to push yourself to come up with recipes involving veggies and fruits you may have never cooked with. Some farms includes dairy, cheeses and fresh meats. Probably the most awesome gift EVER if you love fresh and you love to cook!
8. Olive Oil & Vinegar Dispensers: I really want a set of these. I love that they are stoneware and I like the modern vibe they have. This eggplant color is newer in the line and I am loving it!
9. Wall Art- this print is from etsy, but simply search "kitchen art" and tons of options pop up. Wall art is fun and inexpensive, and if you are good at photoshop you can design something yourself. Perfect!
10. Williams-Sonoma Soap Set: I know. These are pricey, but they are so worth it! This year I am eyeing the winter forest set. I WANT!
11. Holiday Wine Box: For your wine loving friend. Comes ready to hand off as a gift in a cute wooden wine box!
12. Wine of the Month Club: For your friend who loves wine like ALOT. :) Sign up for this and receive reds, whites or a combination in your mailbox every month! Lots of extra goodies come with this companies wine packages, so be sure to check them all out!
13. Belkin Chef Stand & Wand: I need this. Simply put. I can't tell you how much cooking/baking I do from internet recipes and to have this stand for the Ipad would be awesome. I love the wand it comes with so when my hands are dirty with food I won't get it all over the screen trying to scroll on the pages! GENIUS!
What kitchen/food inspired gifts are you giving this year? Let me know!
