I’m sharing some foodie gift ideas for the holidays. Don’t sleep on them. They might not be around for long. Browse, shop and enjoy!

 

 

Delysia Winter Wonderland Collection

This delectable collection consists of hot toddy chocolate truffles, peppermint mocha chocolate truffles, campfire spiced muffin chocolate truffles and Swiss Alps fondue chocolate truffles. The chocolatier nails each profile which is evident as they melt lovely on the tongue. Beautiful. Silky. Luscious. The best chocolate gift.

Retail price: $55.95
Size: 16 pieces
Available: https://delysia.com

 

Rocket Farms, Herbalicious Prime Rib Roasting Kit

This convenient kit contains aromatic organic herbs which include rosemary, Italian parsley and thyme. I use it on my poultry for a scrumptious herbaceous meal. Also available: Organic Herbal Turkey Roasting Kit and Organic Beverage Kit. I recommend all three. They elevate your cooking.

Retail price: $5-$6
Size: 2 ounces
Available: Sprouts and other retailers

 

 

Boxxle Premium Box Wine Dispenser

This sleek stainless-steel dispenser makes a great gift for wine lovers. Straightforward instructions and no assembly required. Useful side handles for carrying. It streams your box wine with ease. Perfect for entertaining or keeping wine on tap for up to a month.

Retail price: $99
Size: 12.5″ high x 7.5″ wide x 8″ deep (9.5″ deep with spigot)
Available: https://boxxle.com and Amazon

 

 

Hot Cocoa

Café Caps, Hot Cocoa Variety Pack

Keurig K-Cup fans rejoice! There are some new hot cocoa options in town. I’m in love with all of them. The milk chocolate with marshmallows gives me smooth chocolaty vibes. The s’mores with marshmallows and chocolate chips provide a sweet essence of the real thing on the palate. The birthday cake with marshmallows and sprinkles offers creamy white chocolate with a splash of color. A tasty treat for the entire family. Coffee is also available.

Retail price: $25.99
Size: 18 single-serving K-Cups
Available: https://www.cafecapscreations.com

 

 

Sitka Salmon Shares, Seafood Subscription Box

This appetizing sampler includes wild-caught Alaska salmon and white fish and arrives frozen. The recipe cards add a nice touch, so I prepared the slow-roasted salmon with Moroccan carrots. Fresh. Light. Superb! Subscription boxes start in January 2022.

Retail Price: $139 per month
Size: 4.5 pounds
Available: https://sitkasalmonshares.com

Simon Sauce

Simon’s Secret Sauce, Original Flavor

This yummy sauce tastes like a marriage between spicy mustard and mayonnaise with a hint of lemon. Slather it on your favorite sandwich for a lip-smacking experience. Tangy and delicious.

Retail price: $17.50 (single) | $64.50 (3-pack)
Size: 12 ounces
Available: https://simonsecretsauce.com

 

Lesley Stowe Raincoast Crisps, Rosemary Raisin Pecan

This thin crisp features layers of flavors without being overpowering. It’s a delightful bite by itself or dipped in hummus. Enjoyable and addicting.

Retail price: $7.99
Size: 5.3 ounces
Available: Kroger Store, Whole Foods Market, Target, Wegmans, Walmart

 

World Spices - Sugar Plum Global Hot Sauce & Spice Kit

Sugar Plum Global Hot Sauce & Spice Kit

This versatile do-it-yourself kit includes world spices such as Moroccan Harissa Lime, Zambian Peri Peri, Jamaican Jerk, Thai Coconut Curry and a plant-based recipe & instruction booklet. Each seasoning blend brings the heat, but not too much. They add zest to my salmon and chicken dishes. The hardest part is deciding which one to use. Good spice.

Retail price: $45
Size: 3 ounces each (set of four) | Box: 8.5″ L x 5″ W x 3.5″ H
Available: https://www.uncommongoods.com
