Holiday Gifts for Foodies Who Understand the Value of An $18 Handcrafted Gourmet Marshmallow

We love our foodie friends. Oh, how we love them. We may even have a few among us (ahem, Stacie) so we adore tracking down the kinds of holiday gifts that foodies will totally appreciate and adore beyond what you’d ever think, whether they like cooking, or just eating what other talented food artisans are creating.

handcrafted gourmet marshmallows

($22-38 at provisions by Food52)
Eat them and get it.

acacia french honey

($19 at Dean and Deluca)
Ooh, we’d go through this in about no time flat.

dominique ansel: the secret recipes

($20.47 at Amazon)
If you don’t live within blocks of Dominique Ansel’s bakery in Soho–or just don’t want to get up at 5AM to wait on line for cronuts, maybe you can make your own. Or hey, looking at pictures of them is totally calorie free.

antico frantoio muraglio intenso extra virgin olive oil

($50 at Dean and Deluca)
The most beautiful bottle of EVOO we’ve seen, and what’s inside is pretty swell too.

artisanal flavored sugars

($26 at provisions by Food52)
With combos like lemon+grapefruit, and mint+cardamom, move over flavored salts.

wooden tasting spoon set

($48 at Leif)
Gorgeous on their own, or in the swirls of melted chocolate in a double boiler.

($24 at chuao chocolatier)
Beer + chocolate? Oh yeah. Especially when the chocolate has potato chips in it. Trust us on this one.
 

cooking class at a favorite local spot

($ varies)
We fell in love with the amazing instructors at Haven’s Kitchen this year; look for options where you live too.

payard make your own macaron kit

($49.50 at Payard)
Think you can out macaron-the macaron masters? Here’s your chance to try.

all-natural gourmet barbecue sauce

($8-15, Lillie’s Q)
It’s almost too fancy to call it barbecue sauce.

sriracha key chain

($15 / 3 bottles at Sriracha2Go)
The hipster holiday gift of the year. Instant foodie cred.

one-year 13 moon gourmet chocolate subscription

($562 at Vosges)
We cannot get enough of Vosges chocolate–and don’t have to if someone hooks us up with a year’s worth of it.

the french laundry or per se gift experience card

There, there. Thomas Keller is going to make everything alright, baby.
