The holidays are here and if that wasn't enough pressure in itself, everywhere we turn, stores seem to be either out of stock or low on items. I know what you are thinking: How do we find the perfect gift when it feels like there are not a lot of options available?
I can relate to the stress involved in gift finding so I've put together a Christmas gift guide to help you find the perfect gift for your health-conscious, food-loving friends and family! These products are some of my personal favorites, and I hope they provide ideas for the unique gift you're looking to purchase for the special foodie in your life.
#1 // Cheese Storage
Know someone who loves their cheese? Cheese is living and needs to stay alive to taste its best. Formaticum cheese storage materials are designed specifically to keep cheese fresh and delicious, just like it was meant to be!
The cheese storage bags (my favorite) are quick and easy to use, or try the wax paper sheets for those folding perfectly around any shape of cheese.
#2 // Natural Wine Club
Natural wine has become increasingly popular recently and that’s for good reason. Low-intervention, organic (and often bio-dynamic) wines showcase all that grapes and nature have to offer, without harmful farming practices and unwanted chemicals. For the health-conscious wine lover in your life, check out the individual bottle selection or the wine club at Mysa Natural Wine for a great gift this Christmas.
#3 // Specialty Vinegars
I have always loved vinegar, and I am completely geeking out over Keep Well Vinegar’s incredibly unique and high-quality vinegars. From pantry staples, such as apple cider vinegar, to food-geek specialties, like black garlic vinegar, you’ll find an assortment of individual bottles and perfectly packaged gift sets for great from the home-cook. Or for the cocktail-lover in your life, check out the Cocktail Vinegar box set that adds a sour punch and without the sugary mixes.
#4 // Essential Knives Set
No kitchen is complete without a good set of knives! But good knives don’t need to be overly expensive, and most home-chefs will find they only need a few key knives.
Enter Misen Essential Knife Set. This versatile set includes a chef’s knife, serrated knife, and paring knife - perfect to get you chopping better with minimal equipment. I’ve personally used these knives and can recommend them with confidence!
#5 // Quality, Craft-Roasted Coffee
Where are my coffee lovers? Are you tired of stale, dull, and questionably-sourced coffee? It’s time to trade your java for freshly roasted, high-quality coffee that will make all the difference in the taste (and even health impact) of your morning Cuppa Joe.
Trade Coffee connects you with roasters from all over the country so you can access coffee that’s been ethically-sourced and roasted with attention and care. Best of all, they help you discover coffees that fit your preferred style, whether that’s funky and fruity, smooth and sweet, or comforting and rich.
#6 // Coffee Alternative
Not a coffee lover? Or maybe you are, but coffee doesn’t love you? Try MUD\WTR™.
MUD\WTR™ is a coffee alternative made with healthy, organic ingredients. With the fraction of the caffeine as a cup of coffee, you get focus, energy and immunity without the jitters, crash and dependency.
The Morning Ritual Starter Kit comes with 30-serving tin and rechargeable frother, making it a beautiful gift under the tree or in the mail.
#7 // THE Blender
I’ve been through my share of blenders over the years and so far, nothing compares to the Vitamix. From smoothies to soups and nut butters to hummus, I put my Vitamix through the ringer and it’s hung in for the long haul. It’s an investment, but one that pays off, and it would be a very special gift under any Christmas tree.
#8 // Organic Herbs & Spices
Quality herbs and spices are essential to delicious and healthy meals! Mountain Rose Herb is my go-to for the freshest, most flavorful herbs and spices.
Not sure which individual spices to start with? I’ll be covering that in more Cooking101 course, but for now, check out Moutain Rose Herb’s Spice & Seasoning Blends for an easy start and a perfect gift idea.
#9 // Artisan Salts
Salt gets a bad rep, but good-quality salt is irreplaceable in the kitchen! Whether you’re using it in the cooking process or finishing a dish with a little extra seasoning, almost no dish is complete without salt.
SaltWorks has a collection of natural sea salts that make a great gift. From the Master Chef Salt Collection or the Gourmet Salt Sampler Gift Set, these salts are raw and natural: no washing, no chemicals and no tampering with Mother Nature's components.
#10 // Healthy Chocolate
Everyone loves chocolate, and there’s a lot to love about Elements Truffles. Micro-batch and additive-free chocolates are a blend of ethically sourced cacao and herbs inspired by Ayurveda, an ancient science of healing.
The Classic Sampler includes beautifully packaged, raw and organic chocolate bars, including raspberry, orange, sea salt, lavender & rose!
#11 // Tasty Hydration To Go
Flavor doesn’t need to be limited to just what you eat. It can be what you drink, too! That’s one of the reason why I love Cure Hydration Packs. Clean ingredients, low-sugar, and great taste make these on-the-go packs a win for the whole family.
For a great gift, check out the Cure Hydration Holiday Pack.

#12 // A Cooking Course
Some people LOVE food, yet the process of cooking still feels daunting and stressful. But it doesn’t have to be that way!
My Cooking 101 course (starting January 2022) is designed to make cooking feel easy and enjoyable. I’ll be teaching essential elements of what and how to cook, plus giving lots of tips and “kitchen hacks” that eliminate unnecessary effort and planning. Bring joy back to cooking for your special foodie with my Cooking 101: Becoming a Healthy Home Chef online course.
