Another holiday season is upon us, which means it's time for another holiday gift guide for food lovers!
This year marks my 15th annual holiday gift guide, which blows my mind. I'm actually shocked by how easy this 2024 guide was to put together considering I've already featured hundreds and hundreds of gifts over the years!
But this year is a particularly good year for foodie gifts and since it's a short shopping season between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I highly recommend getting your gift giving lists (and your own wishlists) ready now!
Feel free to also peruse my previous gift guide. I try to never repeat ideas and lots of gifts from the past are still totally awesome ideas!

I'm including affiliate links to some of the products I'm featuring in my 2024 holiday gift guide (which means I may make a small commission at no extra cost to you should you make a purchase), but if you can find any of these products at from a small local business, please purchase from there instead!
Without further ado, onto the gifts!
New England Coffee Advent Calendar:
This should obviously be a "before the holidays" purchase, but it's a GOOD one. New England Coffee has launched a 12 days of coffee advent calendar and I was lucky enough to receive one from the brand. Each day has a super fun new flavor of coffee (think peppermint bark and eggnog!) with enough to make a full pot. If you have a coffee lover in your life, they're going to love this fun lead-in to Christmas!
NYT Page-a-Day Cooking Calendar:
If you know someone whose most dreaded question is "what's for dinner tonight?" this gift is the perfect solution! This page-a-day calendar (remember them? they're making a major comeback!) features more than 300 recipes (weekends are combined) from the New York Times Cooking section. They're not all dinner recipes, but they're all tried-and-true and will spark lots of inspiration.
Cheese Calendar:
Speaking of calendars, who wouldn't love this gorgeous cheese calendar hanging on their wall? Each month features a different variety of cheese and it's certainly a calendar you wouldn't mind staring at every day.
Zwilling Fresh and Save:
Vacuum sealing was all the rave several years back, but who has room for a pricey vacuum sealing machine and who wants to go through all the work? Now, Zwilling is making vacuum sealing super easy with their Fresh and Save set. The compact little vacuum sealer works right with the glass storage containers and reusable storage bags. Easily seal your leftovers as you pack them and keep them fresh longer!
Paint Like Frida:
Artist I am not, but I do dream of being able to paint foodie still lifes. Paint Like Frida can make those dreams come true! These paint-by-number canvases actually help you create the kind of art you'd want to hang in your house. And there are so many fun food scenes! The painting I featured below is called "Girl Dinner," but there are lots of pretty ones that feature fresh produce, baked goods, etc.
Baking Watercolor Workbook:
And for any food lovers who are really intent on becoming artists in the new year, this baking watercolor workbook is so cute! It features instructions for illustrating 12 baking-inspired designs.
Quartz Heart Coasters:
Coasters always make a great host/hostess gift and these quartz heart coasters will bring beauty to any living space.
Metal Colander:
Another kitchen brightener that's also quite useful: a pretty colander! This large metal colander comes in a whole array of colors to match your gift recipient's kitchen!
Martha on the Mantle:
You've heard of Elf on the Shelf, but what about Martha on the Mantle? This little Martha Stewart doll is so adorable and she even comes with some fun accessories. Now, she'll always be watching you as you go about your holiday tasks! Bonus points if you get a Snoop on the Stoop to go with her!
Butter Sweatshirt:
If you have a baker in your life, chances are their most-bought item at the supermarket is butter! And this butter sweatshirt is so fun!
Sriracha Mug:
For the spicy food lover, "there's a chance this is sriracha" mug is amazing!
Seasonal Produce Poster:
Ever get confused about when you should be eating what? This seasonal produce poster is both extremely informative and also beautiful! It would look gorgeous hanging in any space.
Icon Juice Glasses:
These little juice glasses come in so many fun simple, but lovely designs, including chili peppers, cherries, strawberries, rainbows, bows, and more. You can build a whole set with the design combination of your choice!
Ninja SLUSHi:
For the last couple years, the Ninja CREAMi has been all the rage, but this year it's the Ninja SLUSHi that's in the spotlight! This little machine can make slushies, magaritas, frappes, and more in no time at all!
Charcuterie Board Bottle Opener:
I think I've just found the most perfect bottle opener! Whether you're gifting to a charcuterie board loving party host or you just want to feature this on your bar, this charcuterie board bottle opener is such a fun gift.
De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Coffee and Espresso Machine:
The last time I went to Chicago to visit my sister, she had this De'Longhi coffee/espresso machine and I fell in love. When I returned home, coffee out of my own machine just didn't taste good. So, we ended up getting our own Magnifica Evo and we are so in love! Obviously, it's pricier than your standard machine, but it does go on good sales, and it makes standard coffee, espresso, and more that is SO much better than what you get from other machines.
Breakfast Puzzle:
We have been very into puzzles lately and this Le Puzz Breakfast Puzzle is one of the most stunning foodie puzzles I've seen!
Glow Recipe Skincare:
Glow recipe is especially known for their watermelon skincare products that smell amazing. But they use all kinds of produce to help you get healthy skin that looks and feels great. Their Fruit Babies Skincare kit is filled with watermelon, avocado, and guava products.
Milk Street Nakiri Knife:
I trust Chris Kimball with my cooking life, so when he tells me this Nakiri knife will change my life when it comes to vegetable prep, I believe him. To be fair, you can use any Nakiri style knife, but this is the specific Milk Street version.
Speaking of Milk Street, they've just released their updated definitive guide to the show, The Milk Street Cookbook, featuring 620 recipes. I trust their recipes and have made so many I love, so it's great to have them all in one spot.
Mason Jar Indoor Herb Garden:
We want fresh herbs and we want them year round! But we live in cold climates. And don't have green thumbs. Etc. etc. These little mason jar herb gardens allow you to choose from basil, parsley, mint, cilantro, and rosemary and have fresh herbs year round!
Le Creuset Fish Baker:
Know someone with a New Year's resolution to eat more fish? This Le Creuset fish baker is the perfect motivation! Not only is it gorgeous, but the ridges on the bottom of it keep food elevated for even cooking and browning and the lid locks in moisture and keeps fish odors contained (love that!). It's also super easy to clean and comes in a stunning variety of colors.
Popsmith Popcorn Popper:
The Popsmith is definitely on the pricey side, but it's known as the "Nespresso of popcorn makers" and allegedly, it makes the perfect popcorn every time. I always prefer stovetop popcorn, but dislike making it; the Popsmith Popcorn Popper is the perfect solution and a great gift for any popcorn lover in your life!
Honeycomb Cheese Board:
I love the new line of marble honeycomb kitchenware at Williams-Sonoma and think the cheese plates are especially gorgeous. Make a charcuterie board on one when you go to a holiday party and leave the board with the host as a gift.
Material Resting Stone:
How pretty are these little resting stones from Material? Keep them on your counter for whenever you need a little spot to rest a utensil, a citrus wedge, etc. This is one of those "you didn't know you needed until you had it" gifts and they make another fabulous host/hostess gift.
Sweet Cinnamon Wonderful Pistachios:
Seasonal treats always make great stocking stuffers, but are also fun to serve at holiday parties or to bring as a host/hostess gift. And I'm super excited to share Wonderful Pistachios new Sweet Cinnamon flavor. These pistachios are absolutely delicious and they're only available until the end of the year, so make sure you stock up for holiday gift giving and beyond!
Rifle Paper Co. Spatulas:
Everyone can always use a little a little extra cheer in the kitchen and these floral Rifle Paper Co. spatulas are the perfect stocking stuffers.
Measuring Spoon Set:
Other stocking stuffers that can help bring extra joy to the kitchen include teaspoons and tablespoons. And trust me, you can never have too many! This ceramic measuring spoon set is just perfect.
Tic Tac Toe Chocolate:
This box of chocolate makes the perfect stocking stuffer or holiday hostess gift. It's a Tic Tac Toe game with actual chocolate. Really, really good Compartes chocolate. How fun!
I hope this list helped make your holiday shopping a little bit easier this year, so you can spend more time with your loved ones enjoying the true meaning for the season!
Happy holidays!
