24 Unique Gifts for Food Lovers that aren’t cookies or candy! Sometimes, it’s great to give something that isn’t food since we’re all inundated with sweets this time of year. This is a great guide to help get you started.
Tis the season of giving gifts. Glorious gifts! Yes, I absolutely know there is more to “the most wonderful time of the year” than gifts. There’s some falalalala, jingle bells, yule tide, spiked punch, Ralphie, and Elf thrown in there too.

Hello Sharon, you’ve made a great resources of unique gifts in this blog post. I really like all of these unique ideas. Thanks for taking the time and making such an awesome blog post.
My Uncle gave me his piano. He knew how much I wanted one and he was too ill to play it anymore, so he gave it to me. It is special because it was his and he was such a kind and loving man.
Easy. In 1982, when I was 16, I got a red 1967 Ford Mustang. Best. Christmas. Ever.
Anything that comes from heart.
Any gift that comes with a smile and some love–hard to just pick an item. Sometimes the card can be the best part!
A towel set from a friend who passed away. Miss her a lot.
Sending my hubby this link because I want ALL THE THINGS! I can’t decide which mug set I’m going to ask for. They are all so classy and cute. And that cake box! And the herb garden set! I also love the cold brew coffee set.
I also have a friend who would just love the vegan cheese making kit!
Thanks for doing all my Christmas shopping for me, Sharon!
Outstanding food gift ideas. we usually don’t think that, we can give food gifts but Sharon, you came with awesome food gift ideas. Thanks
W-O-W! That’s a great bunch of gifts that anyone would love! I have a pie box but now I want the cake box too!
I have a pie box too and LOVE it! They also make a cookie box, that one’s on my list 🙂
This list is super awesome. I love all the unique gift ideas in here!
I literally just put a cheese making kit on my Christmas list! Love all these ideas!
My favorite gift was when my Husband got me a new wedding ring one year for Christmas, I was completely surprised.
My favorite gift is a day of relaxation. Watching movies and laying around with the family.
I love the cookie cutters. I do a lot of baking and they would be so cute to have.
Um yeah, this is basically like all of my favorite things in one gift guide. Love it1
I might be buying presents for myself. LOL Favorite gift I ever received. tough question, I need categories. But I love simple gifts that remind the sender of me.
Great ideas and finally some options that aren’t just junk food!
There are so many fun ideas right here! I want a few of them for myself…but since I need to shop for others I need to contain myself…now just trying to think who would like some of these. Maybe my husband would want that bottle opener…see where I am going with this? LOL Entering your giveaway too! 🙂
After trying to conceive for awhile, we were finally blessed with the gift of a baby girl! Nothing better than that. Love this list…so many good ideas!
The MUGS – I need them! lol Loving your gift ideas. So many cool things for foodies!
Awesome ideas! Last year my husband totally surprised me with an ipad mini…that has been the most used gift, I think I’ve ever gotten (and it’s mostly used to pull up recipes in the kitchen) 🙂
Great gift! I always use my phone for recipes since I don’t have an iPad. Boo to me haha
I’m always looking for gift ideas! I love that iPad cookbook stand, and those coffee mugs are the cutest!! And the teacher in me secretly loves the grammar teacup set. 🙂
The grammar tea cups were a last minute add. I saw them and just KNEW so many people would appreciate them 🙂
I love that you made these gifts about food, but without using actual food! Sent the link to my hubby to shop from 😉
Cheers,
Chrystal
I did choose one food item, sourdough bread. Because who could resist sourdough?! PS it’s gluten free sourdough 😉
Fantastic ideas!!! I want to make my own kombucha!
My favorite “foodie” gift last year was my dehydrator!
I gave one to my brother last year, which I’m currently borrowing 😉
