Posted on: December 5th, 2013 by Amy Martin 1 Comment

Need some gift ideas for your food-loving friends this holiday season? We’ve gotcha covered.

From kitchen appliances and gadgets to warm beverages and sweets, I’m revisting some of my favorite products that I had the opportunity to try throughout the year… and I think you’ll love them as much as I did!

Have a favorite product I didn’t include? Mention it in the comments below and tell us why it’s on your Christmas list!

Le Creuset 8 Qt. Stockpot, $90 ($59.99 sale price)

Nearly everyone who loves to cook loves to cook with Le Creuset. If you’re looking for a holiday gift for a friend or family member who enjoys playing in the kitchen, you can’t go wrong with Le Creuset.

Wüsthof GOURMET 8-inch Vegetable Knife, $89.99

This super sleek (and super sharp) vegetable knife prevents starchy vegetables from sticking to the blade with its intelligent design. The rounded blade’s precise row of holes topped with a ridge actually pushes away the food while you’re slicing. It makes a great ‘all-purpose’ knife while you’re building up your collection.

Uncommon Goods Soup and Sandwich Ceramic Tray Duo, $30

These trays make a really unique gift for the home cook.The soup bowl fits snuggly in the tray so you won’t have to worry about your hot bowl of soup sliding around on the plate. Kind of genius, right?

Bialetti Pasta Pot, $29.99

This 5-quart pot works as a 2 in 1 that allows you to cook any shaped pasta (even spaghetti) and strain it right from the pot with its locking lid… it’s gotten a ton of use in my kitchen this year!

This set is great for the ‘King of the Grill’ in your house. You’ll get 12 sample boxes of spice blends for all kinds of different proteins. Best of all, they are all 100% organic and entirely natural using only the freshest ingredients available… and they’re even packaged in planet-friendly boxes.

Set of 4 Swissmar Petite Cheese Knives, $24.99

These stainless steel knives have a bit of weight to them, but with smooth stainless steel handles that are ergonomically designed. Each knife is designed to cut or spread a specific cheese so you’ll have the perfect utensil for your soft cheeses as well as block cheeses.

Sheila G’s Salted Caramel Brownie Brittle, $10.95 snack-pack duo

These thin, crispy ‘brittle bites’ are highly addictive and you won’t be able to stop at just a handful. The Salted Caramel variation is a delicious combination of sweet and salty. I loved getting those tiny bits of buttery, salted caramel in every bite.

PROBAR Variety Pack, $36.88

These organic, meal-replacement bars are 100% vegan, certified non-GMO and raw and available in a variety of surprisingly delicious flavors (like the Koka Moka). A great edible gift for your vegan friends and raw-food fanatics. Even a carnivore like me loves them.

Dreamfarm Garject Lite, $19.95

Dreamfarm’s Garject Lite makes a great budget-friendly gift for the home cook. This neat little gadget works like a new-and-improved garlic press as it presses unpeeled garlic so you don’t have to do any peeling (which means your hands won’t get all smelly!).
