Holiday Food Gifts
The holidays are coming again (as they seem to every year), and you want to be sure to give something good. Well, holiday food gifts are the sort of gifts that are almost always well received. After all, most people love food, and all of us most certainly need food (while it can not be said that most people love or need another desk toy, weird massage-thingy, refrigerator magnet, mug, or other such item).
Of course, you want your holiday food gifts to stand out and to be especially well appreciated, right? Well, here are some ideas:
· Gift certificate to health food store, restaurant, specialty food store, or coffee shop – while holiday food gifts are great, some people receive a lot of them and are unable to eat everything they receive. So, a gift that looks toward future food consumption is good!
· Prepared cookie mix – no, don’t simply give a box of cookie mix: you can make your own. Prepare all the dry ingredients needed to make cookies (or brownies, etc.), add some directions, and package it up nicely. Again, this is a great gift, because the recipient has likely already been piled up with more cookies than he or she can eat over the holidays.
· Candy canes dipped in chocolate – take some basic candy canes and dip the ends of them in melted chocolate (you can buy special hardening chocolate, or you can add a little paraffin wax…). You can then wrap them in cellophane and tie them up with little bows. These make great hot chocolate and/or coffee stirrers.
· A recipe or recipe book and some ingredients – if there is a recipe that you absolutely love that involves a not-so common ingredient (like a unique herb), then give that recipe/book with the herbs or other ingredients that go along with it.
· A recipe and a pan – similar to the idea above, if you have a recipe that requires a special dish, like a crepe pan, etc., then give the recipe with that dish.
· Spaghetti meal basket – this is a relatively simple holiday food gift in terms of preparation. Buy your favorite jar of spaghetti sauce, some pasta (holiday shaped pasta is fun), bottle of wine, chocolate bars, and anything else you find that belongs in a spaghetti meal basket (you are sure to find plenty). Then package it all up in a basket.As you can see, there are plenty of holiday food gifts ideas out there already, and there are plenty more that are just waiting for you to think them up. Be creative – place flowers in the hole of a bundt cake pan, give a cookie jar with cookie cutters and fun sprinkles, etc. Have fun with your holiday food gifts, and you can be sure that the recipients will also have fun with them!
