If you're looking for some stylish Christmas gifts for foodies, you've come to the right place. While some might think foodies are the easiest to buy for, if they're bone fide food-obsessed, then it's likely they already have a kitchen (or drinks cabinet) packed full of the basics.
So what on earth do you buy the foodie who already has everything? Well, the trick is to find something new or unusual, exclusive or limited edition... something that they may already have as standard, but you've found an elevated version that's bound to tickle their foodie fancy.
If it's an appliance you're after, from the best dual-zone air fryers to the best saucepan sets, we have a whole raft of buying guides for you to reference when you have a rough idea what you plan to buy them.
If however, you're looking for general inspiration, something new and stylish for their kitchen, dining room or drinks cabinet, then read on.
Ginevra has been the Deputy Editor of Ideal Home magazine since 2021, having first joined the team in 2011. She currently oversees the publication of the brand’s magazine each month, editing, writing and commissioning, from planning through to publication. She's a huge fan of Christmas (and is a self-confessed foodie) and reckons that the planning and prep, decorating, present buying and all the rest is pretty much her favourite yearly hobby...
We've ticked off pretty much every area, from food prep to cooking, baking, cocktail-making, right up to serving, so you're bund to find something for the foodie in your life.
We've avoided the gimmicky gadgets and contraptions that people tend to use just once (teppanyaki grill or panini maker, anyone?).

So with Christmas on the near horizon, why not tick something else off your gift list with one of these brilliant buys? Happy Shopping!
