The 35 Best Valentine’s Day Gifts For Your Foodie

Emma Henzes Student Contributor, Syracuse University
This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Syracuse chapter and does not reflect the views of Spoon University.

Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day, Palentine’s Day. Whatever you call it, and however you celebrate it, V-Day is meant to be a day full of love and chocolate. But, as all holidays get wrapped up in the commercialization, Valentine’s Day can cost a pretty penny.

Not only the money, but it can also be a defining moment in some relationships. You either take it a step further and get your significant other a gift, or you politely run away and never come back so you don’t have to spend your money. But Galentine’s Day can be an even bigger conundrum than a romantic V-Day. You do now have to buy presents for ALL seven friends who will be attending Galentine’s Day, and even that other friend who has a boyfriend and won’t be attending but still needs a present? Sounds stressful.

There is a simple solution. If your special someone(s) is a foodie or likes food or needs food to survive– AKA everyone– here are 35 gifts for foodies that will wow and impress. I apologize in advance though because these gifts are so good that the standard will be set pretty high for next year.

I study broadcast and digital journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. I absolutely love food. My friends and family often refer to me as a total foodie. I'm glad to have found a community of people at Spoon U who share my passion for all things food. Besides eating, I love to talk sports. My dream job is something combined with sports and food in the shape of talk show format. That wouldn't even be a job, just a fun hobby that pays! Follow my food account @smalland_hungry.
