5 food gifts to satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth (and other holiday cravings)

December 13, 2014

Food gifts for the holidays | A Girl Named PJ

I used to think that sending somebody a food gift was a cop-out because buying something edible required less thought (and was therefore less meaningful) than a non-perishable present. Given all of the delicious and inspiring food gifts on the market, I now recognize the ridiculousness of my logic! Here are five food-related gifts I’d be excited to give — or receive! — this holiday season:

1. Eat Boutique’s Holiday Drinks Collection (above) includes a variety of drink syrups, enamelware tumblers, and festive stripe straws. It also comes with founder Maggie Battista’s Blueberry Moscow Mule recipe. I’ve never heard of a fruit-flavored Moscow Mule, but I’d love a sip! (In a copper mug, of course.)

Just add some booze to this bundle, and the recipient will be all set to toast the season with some tasty cocktails.

2. I’m pretty sure the last time I made s’mores was at a wedding in Maine back in 2013. Too long! This S’mores Kit from Whimsy & Spice takes the classic campfire treat to the next level with homemade graham cracker shortbread cookies, maple marshmallows, and Valhrona chocolate. It’s a gourmet gift for the dessert lover who could use s’more s’mores in their life.

Though really, isn’t that all of us?

3. If you haven’t heard of Graeter’s Ice Cream, it’s probably because you don’t know anybody who grew up in or around Cincinnati. Luckily, Graeter’s ships its famous flavors in pint packs of six or twelve, so you can send a friend some truly indulgent frozen treats no matter where they live.

Like New Jersey.

4. Admittedly, I don’t know much about the different types of salt. But I can tell you that this flaky sea salt from Sunday Suppers, packaged in a glass jar with a letterpress label, certainly looks fancy. It’s also hand harvested in Maldon, England, which sounds pretty fancy, too.

5. The Yellow Table: A Celebration of Everyday Gatherings is not just a gorgeous cookbook. It’s a gorgeous self-published cookbook by Anna Watson Carl, a NYC-based food writer, private chef, and blogger, who embarked on a cross-country road trip last summer to promote her project. I think it’d make the perfect gift for your friend who hosts the best dinner parties…or perhaps the friend who wants to host them but always gets cold feet!

PS: Gifts for him, her, kids, and babies. Happy shopping!

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend! (Dont worrDay 11 | Emotions have been running high the past two days and everyone has a short fuse. Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about. But with cars parked on one side of the road and moving cars to trying to pass them & the pedestriansOn the first day of #socialdistancing my true love made for me Nutella-filled croissantsyummy!  On the second day of social distancing my true love made for me banana muffins with a crumb topping.  On the third day... Nope.
