Buying a gift for someone based on their interests is always a good idea, but it can also be risky. You have to know them fairly well or be prepared to do some research to find a gift that’s suitable for them. You can always ask them directly about what they would like, but that can be less fun. If you know someone who loves food and drink, that can be a great inspiration for finding the right gift for them. However, when they’re a real foodie, a wine connoisseur or they just have a generally refined palate, choosing the best gift for them can be tricky. When a trip to Pizza Hut won’t do, what should you get someone who loves food and drink?
Artisanal, Handmade Snacks
If you want to buy food and drink gifts that will be appreciated, staying away from anything mass-produced is often the best idea. Anyone can buy the most common and popular products, or even the more expensive, well-known brands. Instead, consider looking at artisanal, handmade food and drink items that are produced in small batches. Your gift could be anything from cheese or cured meats to artisanal chocolates or candies. Consider supporting local food producers when searching for a gift.
The Latest Trendy Cookbook
Some people aren’t just into eating and drinking, but also making their own food and drink. For someone like this, the gift of a cookbook or another book that covers the making of food and drink can be an excellent idea. It could be a cookbook that covers a certain cuisine or even focuses on a certain dish. There are also books that explore different methods of preparing food, from canning and preserving to fermenting. If you’re not sure where to start, take a look at what’s currently popular.
Craft Booze
The craft beer scene has exploded in the US and other countries in recent years. And beer isn’t the only alcohol that has a craft scene that can be explored and enjoyed. Craft spirits such as gin, whisky, and vodka also offer exciting options. A selection of beers like Trail Hopper IPA in a hamper could make a fantastic gift. A subscription to a wine or beer delivery could also make a terrific ongoing gift that keeps on giving. There are even non-alcoholic options you can consider, including non-alcoholic wine, beer, and spirits.
A Restaurant Voucher/Gift Card
For foodies who love to eat out, a voucher or gift card for a restaurant could be an amazing way to treat them. People often have restaurants that they want to visit that they haven’t got around to yet. They also have favorite restaurants that they’re happy to go back to again and again. Gift cards and vouchers can often be bought for individual restaurants, as well as restaurant chains and groups. They also offer the flexibility of being able to visit a restaurant at the most convenient time.
If you know anyone who loves food and drink and has something of a refined palate, try these gift ideas to make them happy on any special occasion.
