I think’s a solid assumption to say that almost everyone I know loves to eat. Sure, some of them don’t like to actually cook the food that they consume, but they enjoy the final results nonetheless. Just like free samples passed out at your local grocery store, edible food gifts are definitely the best receive (in my humble opinion, of course—feel free to LMK if you disagree.) While chocolate boxes in luxe wrapping paper and the go-to fancy bottle of pinot noir or champagne are always pretty safe gift options to give on basically any occasion or holiday, there are actually plenty of less obvious and more unique food, dessert, and beverage gifts that will make surely satisfy the taste buds of the giftee in question, and of course, are far less likely to be re-gifted to someone on their own holiday shopping list.
