Gift Ideas for Foodies

We all have that one family member or friend who is devoted to cooking. They always host the best dinner parties, supply the best dish at any potluck, and love pontificating about fun new recipes that "you just HAVE to try!" For that special food lover in your life, we have some great gift ideas that will not disappoint!

The KitchenAid Stand Mixer

A must-have for anyone who loves to bake is the iconic KitchenAid stand mixer. It comes in an array of fun colors to match any personality, and offers much more versatility than a basic hand mixer. These machines have the ability to knead dough for delicious homemade bread, mix cake batter with ease, whip cream for the perfect dessert topping, and more. The hands-free design allows the user to add ingredients while the mixer is churning, or allows them to do other tasks like preparing the pan for baking or taking a short phone call. This mixer also comes with a large enough bowl to mix a couple of batches of cookie dough in one shot, saving time when baking for a large party!

Slow Cookers

This is a great gift for the cook who likes to share good times and good food!  A portable slow cooker will eliminate the hassle and the mess when transporting cooked foods from home. Cook it up, lock it up, and go with a secure-fitting lid and locking system. These handy appliances are perfect for traveling to parties, tailgates, picnics, potlucks, and more. They're also great for anyone who wants to stay in on a chilly night and cook up some comfort food.  

Wine is a great complement to any dish. You know that person who always has the perfect bottle of red or white to go with dinner or dessert? If so, a wine cooler is a great gift for them. We have options for freestanding wine coolers that are large enough to keep a few bottles of wine at the perfect temperature for special occasions, yet small enough to easily blend in with any room setup. If you're shopping for someone who is just getting into wine, there are select models with pre-set buttons for red and white wine if they're unsure about the right temperature. Don't forget that shopping wine fridges on sale is a great way to find an impressive gift that won't break the bank!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM! With an ice cream maker, your lucky gift recipient can make their own professional-quality soft ice cream, yogurt, sorbet, or sherbet right in their own home. It's easy to plan an ice cream night with the family and pick out delicious toppings like sprinkles, chocolate chips, candy, and more. It's the perfect gift to bring the family together for some fun times.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and waffles make it the yummiest! Give the gift of thick, delicious Belgian waffles that are crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. Using a waffle maker makes it easy for anyone to create a gourmet breakfast as well as delicious desserts. You can even come up with holiday-themed waffle creations by using fun toppings like fruit and candy.  

We hope this sparked a few ideas for the perfect gift to give the foodie in your life. Just be sure your lucky recipient makes you some delicious food with whatever you get them!
