Even though I am not a full-fledged “Foodie,” I have been spending more time in my kitchen making healthier meals. I created this list of 10 Perfect Gift Ideas for Foodies to help others come up with practical, yet affordable gifts for the Foodies in their lives. Of course, the Instant Pot is on the list. I’m starting to use mine more often and was surprised at the number of accessories you can buy to make cooking even more manageable. To read more about each item, click on the image to go to Amazon.

Here are 10 Gift Ideas for the Foodie in your lives!

Bento Boxes – These disposable and reusable food containers are perfect for meal prep. The compartments hold the ideal portion sizes and they are both microwave and dishwasher safe!

RTIC Tumblers – I own 4 RTIC tumblers. They work perfectly for both hot and cold beverages. The 32oz tumblers fit in all car cupholders which is a plus. I have left the ice in mine overnight, and the next day the ice is still there, and my beverage stays cold. To get more out of these tumblers, pair them with stainless steel straws

Wilton Silicone cups – The Wilton Brand is known for their durable bakeware. These baking cups are no exception. I use them when I make my egg cups and cornbread muffins. A few squirts of cooking spray and the food pops right out

Infused Water Bottle – These are perfect for those of us that don’t get in our daily water intake. After I started using infused water bottles, by H2o consumption has tripled. My favorite mixture? Lemon & Lime wedges with mint sprigs! Very refreshing!

Instant Pot – These are all the rage these days! There are Instant Pot communities online, Facebook Groups and blogs dedicated to their use. I have only had mine for a few months, and so far I do love it. It has replaced three other appliances in my kitchen. My favorite recipe I’ve made so far? My Hearty Beef Chili. It was a real crowdpleaser!

Instant Pot Cookbook – I love cookbooks. What I don’t like is getting them home, and there are only five good recipes out of 200! The cookbook has a great selection of easy to prep and cook meals and desserts.

Instant Pot Teflon Insert – The insert that comes with the Instant Pot is stainless steel. This Teflon insert is the perfect extension piece as it has a durable non-stick coating. You can also use this as a backup when cooking more than one dish at a time in your pot

Instant Pot Lid – This lid comes in handy when you need to store your insert in the fridge — no need to use a separate dish. I did this with my spaghetti sauce. The next day I pulled it out of the fridge and reheated in my pot. It was perfect

Rabbit Wine Opener – Who likes to fuss with traditional corkscrews? I don’t. I’ve broken my fair share of corks in my semi-expensive bottles of wine. I need to watch YouTube to use some of the more expensive corkscrews. The Rabbit is an excellent cordless wine opener. My Husband got it for me last year, and I love it. It charges via USB, and one full charge will last for months. It also has an auto release feature and will spit out the cork.

 

 

 

Ember Smart Mug – I have been curious about this mug for some time now. As much as I drink coffee (especially during the weekends), I hate it when I get distracted, and my coffee is cold. The Ember Smart mug has several key features. You can select your personalized LED color, remotely adjust the temperature with your smartphone, and save presets for different drinks. I wouldn’t usually spend this much on a coffee mug, but I’m dying to try it. The jury is still out on it based on online reviews, but I am willing to work it for a product review. Are you listening Santa?

 

I hope this list will help you with your Holiday Shopping!
