A 2024 holiday shopping guide for the foodies in your life
It’s ONCE AGAIN that time of year when you have to think about what to get your friends, family, and loved ones. In many ways, foodies can be the easiest people to shop for. Even if you don’t see your foodie friends during the rest of the year, chances are, thanks to Instagram, Facebook, etc., you know what they’ve been eating and drinking. Or maybe you are a foodie yourself?
Either way, here is a 2024 holiday shopping guide for the foodies in your life.
Amoretti
Whether you’re looking to sweeten your coffee or add almond butter to your smoothie, you’ll have more options than you can try in a single month at Amoretti. Bundles make the best gifts, and thanks to such an extensive catalog, they can get very specific. The Savory Spice Almond Butter 3 Pack includes Mediterranean Spice and habanero, while the Christmas Syrups 3 Pack has flavors synonymous with December.
Based outside Los Angeles, Amoretti offers free domestic shipping on orders over $79.
Cambio Roasters
Cambio Roasters uses recyclable aluminum coffee pods as opposed to the standard plastic ones you’re likely to find in an average hotel room or in your break room. Boxes of 10 start at $12 via the website, where you can purchase any of the eight different roasts. As of this writing, shipping is free on all orders. You can also purchase Cambio Roasters coffee at many large grocery stores, including Giant, Weis, and Harris Teeter.
Edenesque
Edenesque makes three plant-based milks: unsweetened or barista blend oat milk and barista blend pistachio milk. The latter includes a mix of pistachio and cashew milk and is sweetened by coconut nectar. Barista blends are creamier, while the unsweetened oat milk is good to drink by itself or as a base for cereal. You can buy these are Whole Foods Market locations and other stores in New York and New Jersey.
Katz’s Delicatessen
New York’s oldest deli has been a fixture on the Lower East Side for more than 130 years and also has an outpost at Brooklyn’s DeKalb Market Hall. If you or the person you are shopping for can’t make it to the corner of Ludlow and Houston, you can order the famous smoked meats online via this link.
Packages range from Game Day to Breakfast in Bed. The Katz’s Holiday Box checks all the necessary boxes for the Lower East Side experience without waiting in line. You’ll get 1 lb. each of the famous pastrami and corned beef, as well as 16 slices of deli rye bread and all the sides. But the Holiday Box also includes a box of mini black & white cookies, which are soft and chewy like the shell of a perfectly done French macaron.
Luji’s Chocolate
Pronounced “Loo – geez” Luji’s Chocolate is made in Nigeria. The most West African of the four flavors is the dark spicy suya. If you’ve never been to a West African eatery, suya refers to meat (usually goat or beef) on a stick brushed with red powder of varying spice levels. And those spices are used in one of the 2.3 ounce bars. They are shipped in packs of four or eight, with the variety pack being the best-seller. $7 is the flat shipping rate.
Macarooz
Macarooz lets you build your own box of macarons or mac pops, which look like cake pops but are gluten-free. Macaron prices drop significantly when you buy a box of 24 or more, so you’ll pay less than you would in a fancy NYC boutique and get free shipping. Whether you purchase macarons or mac pops, you’ll have more than a dozen flavors to choose from if you go the build-your-own-box route. There’s free shipping on orders over $70.
Magno Chocolates
Magno Chocolates takes creative design and fancy presentation to a new level. The pistachio knafeh chocolate bars and use of real 24K gold might make one think these are made in the United Arab Emirates. But they’re made in Medellin, with the gourmet chocolate gift boxes being the best-sellers. Among those, the amulets box gets the most points for creativity, from the Turkish Eye to the Hamsa Hand. Magno ships from Colombia to all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
OLIVIERI 1882 Panettone
While you can eat panettone any time of the year, it’s mostly known as a Christmas and New Year’s treat. Olivieri 1882 has been making this sweet and buttery bread with hints of citrus since….you guessed it, 1882. They are based in Northern Italy and still run by the same family. There’s free shipping on orders $149 and up. That may sound high, but between the classic, collaborations, and special panettone flavors, there are more than two dozen options to choose from. Olivieri 1882 also makes 35, 55, and 70% dark chocolate bars, which you can get in a mixed pack.
Peter Luger Steaks
Still one of the most sought-after tables in Brooklyn after more than 130 years, Peter Luger is known nationwide for their porterhouse steaks and super-thick cut bacon. Thanks to the online butcher shop, you can have steaks that people travel for shipped to your door. They even come with the steak sauce and the famous chocolate coins that diners receive complimentary at the end of every meal. You can order burgers, bacon, and bone-in steaks up to 38 ounces via Goldbelly.
Some Honey
Wisconsin may be known for cheese, but it’s also where Some Honey is based. The product line is mostly honey with molasses, maple syrup, and agave too. Some Honey’s seven flavors are all raw and unfiltered, with cranberry being the most holiday option. 16-ounce jars start at just $9.99 in the online store, which is less than what you’ll pay for other brands in the average grocery store. Speaking of stores, you can buy Some Honey in Whole Foods Market locations and other grocery stores between Chicago and Madison.
Sugarwish
This is easily the most flexible option in this holiday shopping guide for foodies. All you need is a cell phone or email and an amount, which can be as low as $25. From there, your recipient can choose from holiday treats for themselves or their pet(s). Sizes range from mini (two treats) to x-large (12 treats). Options include coffee, tea, popcorn, cookies, and nuts.
SweetLeaf Sweet Drops
Nothing to do with the Black Sabbath song, SweetLeaf makes 16 different zero-calorie flavor drops you can add to your coffee. The Sweet Drops drink sweeteners come in two or four-ounce bottles that should last until next Christmas. And they cost less than $10 each if you buy a pack and choose the subscribe and save option.
Tea Runners
One of the world’s finest tea clubs, Tea Runners chooses from award-winning teas (and team favorites) from around the world and ships direct to your door via monthly subscriptions. All boxes can be customized. They also offer gift cards, starting at $15. Check out these Instagram story clips to see how the package arrives.
