The Ultimate Foodie Holiday Gift Guide

by

Know someone who loves to eat? Well, we sure hope so. For someone who has already been to all the great restaurants, skip giving a gift card this year and go for something a little more creative. We have a bunch of great gift ideas for any self-proclaimed ‘foodie’ friend you may have.

Kill two birds with one stone this holiday season by donating to the Museum of Food and Drink (MOFAD). Your donation not only allows the museum to expand their food education programs and continue working on launching a food museum, but if you donate $60 or more, you will also receive a Baggu canvas tote.

Whether a foodie, a music lover, or both, this gift will wow whoever you give it to. Imagine Chocolates packages their treats in colorful boxes and each piece is named after a greatest hit song. Each box comes with a descriptive insert of the chocolate and corresponding song. And they are totally delicious! It doesn’t get better than this.
