With finals upon us and the holidays just around the corner, the question of what to get family and friends for the holidays is always a tough question to answer. Plus, gifts for foodies can be a little more… difficult. Hopefully, this foodie edition gift guide gives some inspiration for what to buy every foodie on your list.
Style guru: Avocado sock
Whether it be for a cute, cozy outfit or the long, cold walks from the lib, socks are a necessity. Plus, ones with a little extra personality are always a good go-to gift.
ASOS, Urban Outfitters, J.Crew | $8.00-$10.5
Grill Master: Indoor Grill
All throughout the summer, they were never without their spatula in hand and grill at their side. And while it may be too cold outside, nothing will stop them from keeping the burgers coming with a smokeless grill (or a dorm-friendly grill pan).
Overstock.com or Bed Bath and Beyond | $39.99-$52.99
Tea Enthusiast: Cute Tea Infuser
Green tea, chai, or chamomile, they always have a mug of it in hand. A quirky tea infuser adds some extra personality while also keeping their tea addiction a-brewing. Bonus points if you find a matching mug.
Sur la Table or World Market | $9.99-$10.95
Drinkology Major: Drink Starter Pack
