*99% of this is off of my own christmas list. hopefully Santa will be kind to me this year!
Could there be a better way to keep track of the passing days than with beer & snack combinations? I think not. Especially when they're this beautifully illustrated.
The cool way to make coffee. Package it with a blend from your favorite local coffee company for the perfect present
Cookbooks
The Art of French Baking, What Katie Ate, Smitten Kitchen
All three of these are on my list this year. Two come from my favorite bloggers and one is a classic for every aspiring patissier. With gorgeous photography and delicious recipes, you can't go wrong. Make sure you write a little note on the inside cover so they'll always be reminded of you when they open it. Make it extra special with a pretty apron from Anthropologie.
Monogrammed Forged Steak Brand
Because there isn't a grill loving man or woman alive who wouldn't want to serve guests personalized steaks during a cookout. Seriously--have you met grill lovers? They mean business.
I am smitten with this dinnerware set from Anthropologie. They would be the perfect way to throw a garden themed dinner party.
Because everyone loves hot chocolate & marshmallows, especially when you can sip it out of a beautiful mug.
Because the pride they will have in their brew will be worth a million bucks.
Foodie Night Out
If the Whole Foods in your town has a Salud Cooking School (or find something similar at places like William Sonoma or local supper clubs) sign you two up for a cooking class or tasting! One of my favorite nights this year was a chocolate and wine tasting at Salud with my roommate--not only is it my ideal date location, but its such a fun way to spend time together and it makes a perfect present for your foodie friend!
