36 culinary-themed gifts for the aspiring food blogger in your life
If you have a friend who’s always on the pulse of every new restaurant opening and insists you go there for brunch right away despite the risk of a two-hour long wait, you might need help finding them the perfect gift. After all, a holiday popcorn tin won’t do, nor would a gift card to Olive Garden (though, who wouldn’t want an excuse to indulge in bottomless breadsticks?).
Thankfully, there are tons of interesting gifts for foodies out there in the world of online shopping. Whether your friend is a newbie baker or, ahem, a well-seasoned chef, they’ll be sure to appreciate a new waffle machine or a brand new set of colorful dish towels.
