2020 Holiday Gift Guide

2020 Holiday Gift Guide

Happy holidays! I’ve been having a great time with my family ice skating, we cut our own Christmas tree, baking Christmas cookies and of course, shopping for gifts. I decided to put together a list of food related gifts to help you find some unique and useful gifts that everyone on your gift list will love. Let’s go!

Yeti 20 oz Tumbler

$29.98 at Amazon

I love my Yeti tumbler and use it every single day. It keeps my coffee pipping hot and makes a great gift. It’s great that the Yeti Tumbler is available in a range of colors letting you match your choice to the recipient of this must have gift.

Personalized Cutting Boards

$40-$60 at Etsy

I’ve ordered several of these boards for holiday gifts this year. Each board turned out beautifully and Timbermade Shop was so wonderful to work with. Personalize with a family name, or message. The board makes a great backdrop for holiday charcuterie.

Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup

2 pack $40.98 at Amazon

The only thing that makes a stack of hotcakes better on Christmas morning is a warm drizzle of Woodinville Whiskey Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup over the top. I received this as a Father’s Day gift and it was a huge hit!

TWG French

Earl Grey Tea

$31.99 at Amazon

TWG tea makes an elegant gift for the tea lover on your list. In addition to a high quality tea, it is beautifully packaged with wrapping paper and ribbon making it ready to present.

Blue Rooster Hoodie

$39.99 at Ego Coquo

This is my favorite hoodie. The Ego Coquo Ergo Sum (I Cook Therefore I am) Blue Rooster logo made popular by Chopped host Ted Allen in Food Network Magazine is a classic design that chefs, foodies, and home cooks love. My 11 year old son has commandeered my Blue Rooster hoodie so we have more on the way! 25% off now-the New Year.

Hot Ones Truth or Dab

$34.99 at Amazon

I think it’s universally true that every family and friend group has at least one hot sauce fanatic. On my list, I have several hot sauce fanatics and so why not change up the hot sauce gift this year with the Hot Ones Truth or Dab game. Great for some holiday fun and that kick of spice they crave.

ZOKU Reusable Pocket Straws

$21.99 at Amazon

For the eco-conscience person on your gift list you need to introduce them to the ZOKU reusable pocket straws. We received this as a 12 days of Christmas gift and just love that it is compact and comes with a travel case. Keep a few in your car, your backpack or handbag and it makes being eco-friendly so easy. You can choose your color for the beverage from festive to classic depending on your vibe.

The Coldest Water Bottle

$32.99 at Amazon

At the start of the school year nothing was more important to my 11 year old than finding just the right water bottle. After a lot of research we settled on the Coldest Water. The design is cool (very important to 6th graders and professionals alike) and it really is the coldest water. When I fill these with ice and water at 6:30 a.m. and rinse them around 10:00 p.m. ice cubes are still in tact and the water is cold. A very cool gift for every age.

H&H Bagels

half dozen bagels, cream cheese, and nova scotia salmon $69.99 at goldbelly

A goldbelly gift will make any foodie on your list happy. While there are so many great options to choose from, being a New Yorker, one of my favorite gifts to send is some H&H Bagels. A bagel spread over the holidays is a must and I back H&H as the best NYC bagel.

Hario Pour Over Set

$39.50 at Amazon

It is an essential in any coffee lover’s life to have a great pour over option at home and at the workplace. My personal favorite is the Japanese brand, Hario Pour over set. The ceramic dripper is elegant and makes the coffee experience just that much better.
