Gift Idea #1 - Cookbooks: One thing a foodie loves is a good cookbook. One of the most popular cookbooks of 2017 was a book created by the popular Buzzfeed food section Tasty . This book is available for purchase on Amazon, Tasty's Website and even Target.
Gift Idea #2 - Stick With Me Sweets: BonBons: These beautiful bonbons are a foodies dream. These candies are so beautiful you may not want to eat it. But of course you should. You can order them online or go to the store on Mott street if you are in NYC.
Gift Idea #3 - Blue Apron Subscription: This is the perfect gift for a foodie that loves to cook. Blue Apron (in my opinion) is the best food delivery service out there.
Gift Idea #4 - Foodie Apparel: Esty is a great place to get cool foodie based t-shirts.
Gift Idea #5 - Try The World: Give your foodie a mostly treat from all of the world. Save them the expensive flight tickets and get them this monthly gift where they can try international snacks that are sure to be instagramable.
Gift Idea #6 - Foodie Totes: All foodies go shopping and all foodies need a good sturdy tote bag.
Gift Idea #7 - Pizza Making Class: NYC Based.
Gift Idea #8 - Wine Club: Vinebox is a monthly wine club for the wine loving foodie in your life.
Gift Idea #9 - Cheese Making Class: NYC Based.
Gift Idea #10 - Sushi Making Class: NYC Based.
Gift Idea #11 - Donut Bouquet: Instead of giving the foodie in your life roses they would probably enjoy a donut bouquet instead. It's cute and creative and you both can enjoy it!
Gift Idea #12 - Mofad: NYC Based. Grab tickets to Mofad for your foodie, that's the Museum of Food and Drink. You both will have a blast learning about food together.
Gift Idea #13 - InstantPot: The latest foodie craze is the InstantPot. There was a huge sale on these last Christmas and there are now so many blogs and recipe pins flying around for instsant pot recipes. Any foodie would be happy to receive this.
Gift Idea #14 - Ticket (Giftcard) to NYFWF: Tickets have not been released yet but it would be a good idea to get your beloved foodie an American Express gift card with anywhere between $250-300USD on it so they can buy a day-pass to one of the biggest and best foodie events New York has to offer, the New York Food and Wine Festival. I attended a few years ago and it was one of the best foodie experiences of my life.

Valentine's Day is 1 day away and for those of you who STILL have not gotten a gift for a loved one (doesn't matter if it's a boyfriend, girlfriend, co-worker, bestie, or neighbor) you still have time. After all it is the season for loving. ❤️ And if you have a foodie in your life, show them some love on Valentine's Day with one (or all) of these "Foodie Based Gifts" they will be sure to love it!These are also gifts you can easily run out and get without having to rely on your Amazon Prime membership shipping ? #5 - Buy a food based deal from a popular deal site (Groupon/Living Social/Pulsd). These three sites are known for having great dinner, food and drink tour deals which will be a hit in the gift department if you buy a foodie either a baking class or a whiskey tour. Depending on what your mate likes it will sure be a hit as a gift. Find the deal, print it out and put it in a fun card. Groupon #4 - Buy a Bed Bath & Beyond gift card. I know right now you must being saying "what?!". But hear me out. If you have ever been inside a Bed Bath & Beyond with someone who loves food, or someone who loves to cook this place is a foodies playground. There are so many cooking utensils, kitchen decor items, and kitchen gadgets it will make a foodies head spin. BedBathBeyond #3 - Buy a food box subscription for your Valentine. Food box subscriptions are very popular right now. These subscription meal delivery services ship their members fresh ingredients and recipes every month. Plus the meals are totally Instagram photo worthy once they've been cooked. It also allows your foodie to collect recipes. If you are worried about certain diets most of the subscription companies provide special dietary options for vegans, vegetarian, pescetarians, gluten free, and paleo. Here are a few boxes I've tried and suggest: Blue Apron/Home Chef/Hello Fresh BlueApron #2 - Buy your foodie a ticket to a food conference or food talk. Many cities host events almost weekly or monthly where people discuss food, food culture, recipes, and teach food history. If you have a foodie on your hands they will be sure to love this! Eventbrite would be a helpful source for finding local food events to buy tickets. *Side note: be sure to look up the event before buying tickets to make sure everything is legit). For New Yorkers check out the Museum of Food and Drink (MOFAD) for talks. I would personally love a membership or a ticket to one of their food talks. MOFAD #1 - Buy your foodie a cookbook. It's just that simple. If you know a foodie you know they can not resist a good cookbook. If you have a Barnes&Noble near you that's even better but you can practically get a cookbook anywhere there's a mall. Be sure to get a gift receipt just incase that foodie friend already has that cookbook but it's a sweet gesture and guaranteed to be a hit. If you really do not have time to go out and get a cookbook don't fret because you can purchase digital cook books which will save time. cookbooks I hope this post helped someone out there that has a foodie in their lives and wants to treat them sweet this Valentine's Day.Comment below if you thought this post was helpful or if you have any tips for me! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
