Christmas Gifts for 5 Different Types of Foodies

Buying a gift for someone becomes a lot easier when you know what sort of hobbies they have, what they enjoy doing in their spare time and which products they often use. The great thing about foodies is that there are multiple gift options to choose from and to give them! The issue is which gift to choose for which type of foodie!

Now that the Christmas season is upon us, we’re sure a lot of you will be looking to buy the perfect gifts for your friends and family.

If you’re struggling to find something to impress some very selective foodies in your life, struggle no more, here are our top picks for 5 different types of foodies and wine lovers this Christmas.

1. The Chocaholic

The great thing about chocolate is that it can be budget friendly. We have a range of chocolates which fit every pocket and they're all wonderfully presented too. For a delicious treat try Pump Street Chocolate Gingerbread, or, if you want to toast someone's

success, the Choconchoc Chocolate Celebration Bottle And Strawberries makes the perfect present. Our Pump Street Chocolate Gingerbread and Pump Street Chocolate Eccles Cake bars makes great stocking fillers too!

If you know a bookworm who loves chocolate too, these Miniature Chocolate Books make the perfect Secret Santa gift! Or if you are feeling more extravagant gift them Pump Street Chocolate's Library of Chocolate Bars.

2. The Lover of Spices

You can never have too many cookbooks and you really can’t go wrong with getting a foodie one as a gift! They’re super handy, especially when you have people over but are not sure what to cook. Persiana: Recipes from the Middle East & Beyond by Sabrina Ghayour is especially great for those who love creating enchanting dishes from the Middle East!

On the other hand, How To Be A Curry Legend is targeted more towards Indian dishes. Bonus: How To Be A Curry Legend has 4 spice blends included, which can all be used to create the 80+ Indian dishes mentioned in the book! Both cookbooks are very affordable and have many recipes to try out!

Not sure what recipes they might like but know they enjoy using spices? A subscription is the way to go! The Friday Night Curry Discoverer and Food Truck Subscriptions are two amazing ones which include favourite recipes and also ones which they are yet to discover! The great thing about these subscriptions? They can be paused when they’re not in use! Want to know something even better about getting someone a subscription as a gift? You can choose a subscription of 3, 6 or 12 months, which means you can spend as much or as little as you want to on their gift!

3. The Wine Connoisseur

We all have a friend who loves wine! Want to find a great gift for them this Christmas but don’t want to just get them a bottle of wine?

This Horse Bit Wine Bottle Holder is everything a wine connoisseur is missing from their collection! It acts as a 2 in 1 - it is decorative but also helps protect furniture from stains!

If you know someone who loves wine but is also a big fan of sweets, the following will make amazing gifts!

- Real Wine Gums Duo Gift Set - Sweets flavoured of Chardonnay and Merlot? What more could one want really?!

- Raspberry + Champagne Gourmet Marshmallows - A fancy sort of treat, that’s what these marshmallows are!

4. The Culinary Genius (The One Who Likes To Cook)

Do you happen to always find your flatmate whipping something up in the kitchen? Or maybe your mother has always been a fan of cooking? This Apron Cooking Guide is the type of gift they wouldn’t know they need but when they receive it, it becomes indispensable!

The apron guides you toward the perfect cooking times and measurements, so no need to surround yourself with recipes books and laptops whilst cooking, which let’s face it, can get easily ruined.

If your culinary friend happens to be a vegetarian, look no further, a Veggie Roast Dinner Kit is just what you need to complete his or her kitchen! This is a particularly great gift for a vegetarian who likes their food with a bit of a kick.
