Holiday Food Gift Ideas

Holiday season is coming - Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year - in succession. These occasions come with gift-giving and sharing life with food. So, isn't it a good idea to give the joy of a scrumptious, delectable and mouthwatering edibles to our family, friends and all our loved ones? Below are food gift ideas for the holidays.

Gourmet

Gourmet is not your everyday food. They are mostly made from ingredients not common to your neighborhood stores. It takes an exotic palate to really appreciate gourmet. They can be cakes, cheese, or spices. And they are just the perfect gift to give on the holidays. As a specialty food, gourmet makes special holiday presents. Special foods fit with special occasions. Gourmet gifts are usually packaged in a basket. Bring merriness to someone by giving them a basket of gourmet goodness!

Chocolates

You don't have to have a sweet tooth to love chocolates. Chocolates are good for all ages and is said to stimulate your senses (good as a wake up snack). It's also romantic. It is a suitable (and should I say safe?) gift that can be given to either gender. There are many varieties of chocolates. White, brown, or black (dark) ones. In some cases, they dye the chocolate in different colors and mold them in different shapes too. Imagine giving your loved one a dozen of red edible yummy roses? That's beauty and decadence combined. As everybody loves chocolate, why not give a basket of these good delights and make your loved ones happy this special season.

Cookies

Cookies will rule the planet again in this gift-giving season. They will be packaged in tin cans in all shapes and colors. They will also be placed in gift baskets. And of course, they will come in boxes, too. Cookies like chocolates come in all flavors, color, and shapes. They are very versatile. Just gift-perfect for any occasion. My favorite is the chocolate chip cookies. I also love oatmeal cookies. They are very delicious and at the same time healthy. Of course, cookies are always good to eat or to give. Be sure to stock up your cookie pantry this holiday.

Cakes

I'm a cake lover but never a baker. My favorite is the fudge-filled chocolate cake with fudge icing. It is really heavenly. I surely have a sweet tooth. This Christmas, I will definitely have a cake on the dinner table. Maybe a Santa decorated white cake. Or maybe with a Christmas tree as a cake topper. Cake is a symbol of celebration.

Fruits

Mouthwatering fruits in different colors and shapes, placed creatively in a gift basket, make them very welcome food gifts. Fruit baskets are a thoughtful way of saying "I care." When you give fresh fruits, it's like you're wishing the other person good health and long life. Make someone's holiday jollier by giving fresh fruit baskets.

Popcorn

Popcorn is a healthy, light, and satisfying snack. Now, there are gourmet popcorns. They come in variety of flavors, too. This holiday season, gather the whole family and enjoy see a movie at home. Popcorn is such a family snack everyone would enjoy.

Dinner Meals

Give the gift of dinner this holiday. Everyone deserves a good meal, especially on Thanksgiving and Christmas but not everyone can cook, right? Eliminate the hard work in having the perfect Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Serve to the table a delightful and delicious dinner without slaving in the kitchen. Give it to your family, your loved ones, your special someone, or yourself.

Wine

Good food is not just complete without a good wine. It just completes the entrée. Wines can be inexpensive gifts but shows taste and elegance on the part of the giver. It brings an atmosphere of friendliness and air of sophistication when you give wine as a gift. A good wine is always a delight either as a gift or part of dining.

Additionally, wines can make the perfect corporate gifts. They would eliminate the guess work on what to give to a neighbor, a boss, or a new associate. Wines can be cheap to expensive but the packaging can make a whole lot of difference. Why not give a gift of wine this holiday? If you have tried it before, you know what magic it brings to the giver and the receiver. If you have not done it before, now is the time to try it.

Perfect food comes with planning and careful shopping. Shop now and have more time in the future. It would eliminate the rush and unnecessary stress brought by the holiday season. The food companies will do the packaging and shipping. You can order your food gift as early as 60 days from specialty food gift companies online.
