a frustrated foodie's guide to giving

With the Holidays approaching kinda like a freight train, the pressure is on to shop. Somehow when pressure and shop are in the same sentence it isn't as fun as it might sound. But, don't fret my pets I am here to help out with some gift ideas for those frustrated foodies in your life!

Practical
The Vinturi aerator for red or white wine was once gifted to me and it is only fair to share this gift idea with you because I always use it! Basically, it subtracts the "breathing of the wine" element so you don't have to wait and you can drink up!

Fun

The Foodie Fight game is a fun gift that can be brought out after a few drinks at a dinner party. It has over 1,000 food questions to test your kitchen knowledge.

Gift That Keeps Giving

A years subscription to Food and Wine Magazine is a thoughtful gift idea that keeps giving all year long. Plenty of appetizing recipes and photos to get any ones inner foodie inspired.

Mix and Match

The Filling Station in NYC's famed Chelsea Market location is a unique way of gift giving! Order over the phone and have shipped to you various flavors of Olive Oil, Vinegars, Salts and Sugars. Order as many or as little as you like. I suggest Fig Balsamic Vinegar, Pink Sea Salt, Truffle Salt, Herb Olive Oil, Vanilla Sugar, etc. etc. take a look at the website for menu of flavors and categories.

Plant a Seed and Watch it Grow

The Buzzy Window Garden is a cute idea for those with a window in their kitchen. Herbs and Strawberries growing fresh in your kitchen is pretty cool! The tin planters are rustic and official looking and would fit in just any ones decor.
