I’ve reached a point in my life where people’s interests have changed and adapted as they’ve got older, had families and matured a little too. The one thing many of the people in my life have in common is a love of good food and so I thought I’d put together a few gift ideas for the foodies in your life.

Something to cook with

Cooking equipment, ingredients and inspiration are always a great choice for foodies at any time of the year. One of our go-to brands when it comes to Christmas gifting for the foodies in our lives is Opies and especially their range of delicious fruits with alcohol that come in pretty jars. With a choice of Black Cherries, Peaches and Baby Pears, they make a great addition to homemade hampers and work well in so many cakes and bakes over the festive season and long into the New Year. See the full Opies range here.

Small kitchen appliances make a great gift for foodies and we love the UltraBlend Smoothie Maker from VonHaus. Billed as faster than a bullet and fiercer than a ninja, the VonShef UltraBlend smoothie maker has a powerful motor combined with great speed and razor-sharp stainless steel blades which makes lightning fast work of blitzing fruit and veg, pulverising seeds, stems and skins to extract and lock in those all-important nutrients, creating delicious drinks filled to the brim with goodness. It comes with both a large and medium cup plus two different lids, making it a really versatile product and a great addition to any kitchen.

One of our favourite innovative gifts this year is Splitflask, a clever tumbler that can hold two drinks at once. One hot and one cold, they are kept separated in one sleek, leak-proof design. It’s great commuting, using at your desk whilst you work or even festive cocktails and mixers on the go! With a straw in one side, and a spout to sip on the other, you can happily have a cup of tea and ice cold water with you wherever you are. A fantastic gift for anyone this Christmas.

Something to eat

Edible gifts are always a fantastic choice for the foodies in your life and this year we love these Giant Personalised Milka Chocolate Bars from VistaPrint. Featuring 6 or 12 100g Milka chocolate bars with a personalised cardboard packaging, these are a gift that you can tailor to anyone this year. There are so many designs to choose from and you can even add photos if you like. Such a thoughtful, personal gift idea.

Most foodies love cheese and so products from Homewrecker would make a really lovely gift. Homewrecker is the UK’s first pimento cheese brand – a southern cheese dip perfect for festive parties, cheeseboards and for anyone who wants a little kick with a cracker over the holiday season!

Homewrecker Pimento cheese is a gorgeous blend of grated cheddar, cream cheese and picante peppers, plus a secret spice blend, making it a fantastic addition at Christmas and through the year. Plus, to make it a more substantial gift, Homewrecker also have quality tote bags and t-shirts that any cheese fan is sure to love! You can find out more about Homewrecker here.

Most of the foodies I know love honey and use it for all manner of things in the kitchen. This would make a gift set from Honey Heaven a great choice this Christmas. One of our favourites is the Pure Raw Honey Gift Set that features three jars of premium organic honey, showcasing the unique flavours of Natural Hungarian Acacia Honey, Natural Organic Honeydew Honey and Natural Organic Lavender Honey along with a beautifully crafted wooden drizzler for the ultimate honey experience.

Give the foodie in your life the chance to embrace the natural goodness and timeless taste of Hungary with this organic Hungarian honey gift set – a perfect present for any occasion. You can find out more about Honey Heaven and see their full range of gifts here.

Hampers are always a top choice for foodies and one of our favourites this year is the Christmas Surprise Hamper With Champagne & Red Wine from Regency Hampers. The hamper includes Paul Langier Brut Champagne and Trivento Private Reserve Malbec, a great combination that suits pretty much any occasion. There’s also Wainwright Black Waxed Farmhouse Cheddar and Simon Weaver Organic Cotswold Brie along with a jar of apple chutney, basil-flavoured olives and a bag of crisp crisps, a sample of the finest British produce that would make a great base for any festive gathering.

And don’t forget the rest of the traditional goods, a half-kilogram fruit cake topped with shiny candied jewels and a delightful Christmas pudding along with chocolate, biscuits and more.Regency Hampers are built on over twenty years of expertise, to ensure that every gift will make the recipient feel truly special this Christmas.

Something different

For something a little different, but much appreciated, a foodie calendar could be just the thing! This year we love the Pinch of Nom Calendar from Danilo which will not only keep you organised but also features mouth-watering recipes to inspire delicious meals every month. Perfect for food lovers and home cooks alike. You can see the full Danilo range here.

I hope that gives you some inspiration for gifts to buy the foodie in your life and with something for every price point too. If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear them and when the time comes, have a wonderful Christmas!
