So we have compiled Secret Ingredient’s Foodie Gift Guide with our most favorite foodie gifts that go beyond your typical food of the month club or restaurant gift certificate.
Foodie Gift Guide – Unique Gift Finds
- At Secret Ingredient we feel that fresh herbs and vegetables enhance every dish. So we just love this Smart Garden 3 Self Watering Indoor Garden. The kit includes everything you need to grow fresh herbs no matter your space or climate limitations. There are a variety of smart garden sizes which make it easy to choose the perfect size and price point for your gift recipient. The planter base, features a built-in water reservoir and an LED lamp provides the light necessary to grow the herbs and vegetables of your choice. We also love this Container Garden Kit from Gardenuity. Secret Ingredient is a big fan of container gardening. Because it does not require much space and lets you garden indoors during the winter months.

- Who doesn’t love chocolate? The Velvet Chocolatier based in Maryland offers a variety of chocolate gifts from truffles and barks, to chocolate of the month clubs. The item that has us most intrigued is their Chocolate Kit. This kit has all the supplies you will need to create your own chocolate bars.

Foodie Gift Guide – Gifts For Inspiration
- For the cookbook lover on your list we have included, The World Eats Here. We not only loved the recipes included in this new cookbook but we also enjoyed the stories from authors John Wang and Storm Garner. This cookbook includes recipes from over 40 countries with tales from the immigrant cooks who have come to perfect them.

Greatest Holiday Gift – Tools of the Trade
- Anyone in the food industry will tell you this next gift is a must-have. This company came on the scene a few years ago with their handcrafted aprons that are functional and stylish. Hedley & Bennett aprons, were a no-brainer for this list. There are a number of styles to choose from and they even offer aprons for children. We love their motto, “Because better gear can make you a better cook.”

- Lastly, this cutting board was featured on Shark Tank because of it is designed with a handy tray that hangs over the counter’s edge to catch food scraps and juices. The Cup Board Pro, is purely genius allowing you to cut ingredients and move any unwanted scrapes to the removable tray.
