Foodie Gift Guide 2017

Foodie Gift Guide 2017: The Perfect Gifts for Cooks and Foodies! 

It’s that time of year again! 

The freezing cold, hot coffee actually not making you sweat, the snow (in some areas) and how can I forget the shopping? 

Seriously, my favorite part! No matter what I seem to love it. The only thing I can’t seem to get passed is the crowds of people… They are everywhere! Went to Old Navy at 9:30 PM one Black Friday (after work even!) and there was so many people in there! I thought this is why I never shop in the stores on Black Friday… 

Needless to say I got what I needed and peaced out quickly….


However, I think my favorite part is shopping online! I am definitely down for not waiting in line to pay, shopping at my leisure and clicking instead of filling up my arms. Shipping doesn’t even bother me one bit… the closer it is to Christmas the less likely I am to want to give the gift early. I get way too excited! I am not going to even lie I spent money while “looking” for awesome things to put in the foodie gift guide that is for sure! 

Anyways…. Time to get down to business! 

Does anyone have the annoying problem of not knowing what to get people for Christmas? That person who has everything or that person who you can’t quite pin point on what to get? Gift Cards? To me they can be so not personable and to me it feels like they literally went to Wal-mart right before we met up and just last minute got me it (not saying the thought doesn’t count!) but I love putting my own spin on gifts and thinking long and hard about them.

Well if they love food then I got you covered (everyone loves food!). I have created this list, Foodie Gift Guide 2017, to end the problem! Especially if your looking to get me something! bahaha 

We all know every foodie wants a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer, heck yes! I have one and still want one! But you won’t find it on this list because that is a huge given when it comes to this time of year. I wanted the foodie gift guide to stay under $100 because well lets be honest a Kitchenaid (though dearly loved) is not under $100 and most of us are on a budget! So this foodie gift guide list is better for those who are on a budget! 

But seriously, this list has practical presents, stocking stuffers, cookbooks, foodie foods and more! Have any suggestions? please let me know! Always looking to add! 

Now without further ado I present the Foodie Gift Guide 2017 

Air Fryer 

Seriously, how can you go wrong? Oil-less French fries? I am so down! I have been wanting one of these bad boys since they came out! Perfect to fry up some veggies or chicken tenders at night for dinner!

Instant Pot Pressure Cooker

If your person doesn’t already have one they need this! Best money I have ever spent on a small appliance! It can cook a complete chicken and rice dinner in 30 minutes! perfect for those busy families, or if you are a meal prep master this can surely cut down your cooking time!

The perfect little hand blender for cooking! It is so handy and is perfect for creamy and smooth soups, applesauce (chunky or smooth), salsa, single serve milkshakes and smoothies I mean the list goes on! It is perfect when you don’t want to lug out the huge stand blender to do anything.

Panini Grill 

A panini grill is a must for those who love grilled cheese (gluten free or not). It makes the perfect grilled cheese sandwiches in minutes and cooks evenly too. it is perfect to add some flair to those grill cheeses too like BBQ chicken or leftover turkey. It also makes amazing quesadillas!

Food Scale 

It is an awesome gift for those health-conscious foodies or those who are going for a new lifestyle. I love mine because without it I tend to make too much food and then it all goes to waste if i don’t freeze it in time or we just get sick of eating it after the 5th day. A great investment and gift for anyone! They are also not  very expensive! Win!!

Moscow Mule Set 

I have seen these everywhere! I think they look so cool and perfect for out by the fire to drink out of on those chilly nights wrapped up in a blanket. That sounds like an ideal night to me! They are also relatively inexpensive (without the alcohol) and even if they are not big on drinking it still looks really cool!
