Best Food Blog's Best Gift Guide
No affiliate links. But one very cute ceramic olive dish.
In the Year of Our Lorde 2025, we’ve got the end-of-year online content run of show down: Thanksgiving menus. Black Friday deals. Followed by holiday cookie box recipes. Then come the “Best Of” lists that aggregate the most-clicked stories/articles/recipes of the year. The last act is the flurry of editor- influencer- tastemaker-curated gift guides that publish right before we finally hibernate away, blissfully offline for the last 10 days of the year.
For some outlets, it’s a way to flaunt and project good taste to their audience, with curatorial, aspirational guides that have high-ticket, entirely impractical, IYKYK items. For others, it’s a shameless grab for affiliate link revenue. For us, it’s neither. Here are some tiny tasty things we enjoyed, trinkets we’ve come to love, books we can’t shut up about, and one THC beverage that gets you just the right level of buzzed, all in holiday gift guide-form (but we’d stand by these recommendations year-round, and in any situation).
