4. Bodum Pour Over Coffee Maker Grip
For foodies that love a good cup-o-joe, we recommend a pour-over coffee maker like this excellently crafted, aesthetically-pleasing coffee maker from Bodum. Because there isn’t any paper involved, essential oils that are typically trapped in the filter of your average coffee maker make it straight into your cup. It’s also double-wall insulated and made from thermal shock-resistant Borosilicate glass to ensure no matter how piping hot you enjoy your caffeine, the glass won’t break. It makes brewing coffee a fun experience, and produces an exceptional wake-up call — made just to your liking.

This four-pack of olive oils include garlic, basil, lemon and chili olive oils to experiment with as your favorite foodie experiments with new dishes in the kitchen. This set is from Mantova, so they’ll be getting olive oil straight from real Italian olives that are pressed and bottled in the boot-shaped country itself. Aside from being tasty, these olive oils are also great for healthy dieting and weight management, too.

6. Himalayan Salt BBQ Plank
If you tell a foodie all they need to spice up their time on the grill is a little bit of salt, they’d probably never talk to you again. But we mean it, all they’re going to need to spice up their time on the grill is some salt! This Himalayan salt plank, that is. We know what you’re thinking, won’t the block crack on the stove? Nope, Himalayan salt is stable as hell and holds temperate with ease. So, all they’ll have to do is throw some veggies, chicken or whatever else they’re cooking directly on top, and get cooking. The flavor provided will change their grilling game.

Bakers will never have to worry about transporting their cakes and cupcakes ever again. This versatile cupcake holder makes transporting baked goods of any kind a breeze, with removable shelves and a collapsible design that stores easily when not in use.

8. Just Ripe Fruit Bowl
This fruit bowl separates ready-to-eat fruit from their not-so-ready counterparts. How, you ask? Simply place the ripe fruit at the top of the bowl to let everybody in the house know they’re ready to eat and slip that unripe fruit in the bottom in a ventilated glass container until it’s their turn at the top. While this an excellent gift for foodies, it’s also great for foodies with impatient kids.

9. Le Chateau Wine Decanter
Decanters can take a bottle of wine from good to great, and they look chic displayed on the dining table. This one from Le Chateau is made of 100% lead-free crystal, and hand-blown for a high-end look. It’s perfectly designed for any 750ML bottle and is easy to grasp for no-spill pours every time. Bonus: get an accompanying wine club subscription to get them started.

10. Splash Wines
Speaking of wine clubs, we’ve recently fallen in love with our current go-to bulk wine supplier Splash. Splash Wines has both curated and build-your-own-case options for half the price the regular wine subscriptions tend to go for. I mean, a supreme sampler of 15 bottles of wine for just $105? That is a steal we can absolutely get behind. Your foodie (or, wine-o, for that matter) will be utterly shocked and thrilled to get one of these. You may even get a bottle out of it yourself as a thank you!

11. W&P The Popper Collapsible Popcorn Bowl
Who doesn’t love a delicious bowl of movie theater popcorn? Gift this collapsible popcorn bowl to any popcorn lover you may know and rid extra waste caused by individual microwavable popcorn bags. All this bowl needs is some kernels and a microwave to get going. Throw the kernels in, add your desired amount of salt and butter, any other toppings and POP! Your giftee will have freshly microwaved popcorn in no time. When it’s time to store it, the bowl collapses in on itself so there’s no need to trying to find the room for another bowl in the house.
