If Christmas caught you off guard and you need some last-minute inspiration on what to get that special foodie in your life, I’ve got you covered! Here is a roundup of some fun food-themed Christmas gift ideas that are designed to make you smile. As a chef with a quirky sense of humor, I always like to give gifts that are unique, from the heart, and actually useful. So if you’re looking for some thoughtful gift ideas for the fun-loving foodie in your life, then watch our video.
These are items I found on Amazon that seem to have good ratings and reviews. Let me make a disclaimer and say that I don’t personally own these items, nor am I associated with them or their companies. I just selected them because they seem interesting and are things I would like to receive as a gift myself! However, I am an Amazon affiliate, so if you like my suggestions and want to support our blog and YouTube channel, go ahead and use the links that I left for you, so you can support us with no additional cost to you!
Some of these food-themed items are designed to be useful in the kitchen, and some of these are just fun, because I feel like we could all use a good laugh this year!
1. Elf Cereal
You could probably find this for cheaper either in-store or on another site, but I still wanted to leave this link for you. This is a limited edition seasonal cereal from General Mills. It’s based off the 2003 holiday classic movie, Elf. It has now become my personal go-to Christmas movie. It’s corn puffs with holiday tree marshmallows that’s flavored with SYRUP, because syrup is one of Buddy the Elf’s four main food groups! Haha…cute huh? Super cheeky, but any Elf-enthusiast would appreciate this. Pair it with a cool cereal bowl.
2. Spilt Milk Splash Cereal Bowl
This bowl is designed to look like an accident in progress! Shaped like a splash of milk, this bowl is a fun way to eat cereal or ice cream. It’s made of flexible silicone and is dishwasher safe. Some interesting notes from reviewers are that since it’s made of silicone, it helps eliminate the clinking and clanking of the spoon from early risers or late night snackers! It’s also good for kids to be able to carry their own bowls safely and comfortably to the table. I could see Lincoln getting a kick out of eating from this bowl.
3a. Marsh Memos Push Pins (Stocking Stuffer or White Elephant Gift)
This is a charming way to add warm vibes to your desk. Many of us are working from home or e-learning these days, so it’s nice to have something cute on your desk to cheer you up. You can use the pins to hang up photos or Christmas cards on your bulletin board! Reviews say it is small and the pins bend if you push too hard, so be careful. However, the pins are still functional and store nicely in the cup of cocoa. It’s a fun gift for kids, coworkers, or teachers!
Other Variations:
3b. Donut Pin Holder
3c. MakiTaks Sushi Pin Holder
4. Burrito Blanket
I got this for my cousin for Christmas this year, because he is a great cook and foodie, and has a similar sense of humor as me. Reviews say to make sure to get it in the “yellow” because that’s the one that’s double sided, meaning it’s printed on both sides, so no matter how you wrap yourself up, you’ll look like a burrito. I love how realistic it looks, and reviews claim that it is truly soft. With this blanket, you can cozy up on the couch with a cup of cocoa (or a burrito) all winter long.
5a. Throw Throw Burrito Game (Original)
I learned about this game from my friend @OTKatieyoon who LOVES to play this game with her family. In fact, the clips in my video are of her family having a good old time pelting one another with soft burritos! This would be a fun way to get the entire family active through the winter months. This is claimed to be the world’s first dodgeball card game! Try to collect matching sets of cards faster than your opponents while simultaneously ducking, dodging, and throwing squishy airborne burritos. It’s for 2-6 players and comes with 2 foam burritos soft enough to throw at your loved ones without feeling guilty!
Other Variation:
5b. Throw Throw Burrito Extreme Outdoors Version
6a. TacoSaurus Rex Taco Holder
I mentioned these in my Amazon Kitchen Gifts round up video and I listed them again because I still want them! I say I want to get this for Lincoln, but let’s be real…I’m the one who wants to eat from a TacoSaurus Rex or the TriceraTaco! They hold two tacos each, but you can also use them for sandwiches, waffles, donuts, or cookies. They just make meal time more fun!
Other Variation:
6b. TriceraTaco Taco Holder
7. Unicorn Taco Holder
Just like the dinosaur taco holders, this unicorn holder has versatile uses, from toasts, hot dogs, sandwiches, pastries, fruit, veggies, and more! I personally think I’d use it for more fun items like candies and cookies with rainbow sprinkles. This would be the perfect whimsical touch for a kid’s birthday party, or a grown-up’s tea party!
8. Grizzly Hot Pot Trivet
This little silicone trivet cracks me up because it looks like a bearskin rug. It’s available in the brown bear or polar bear. I think it would help encourage cooking for a budding chef. Reviews say it’s a little small for a pot, but it’s perfect for a mug. Place your cup of coffee on it and smile as you’re working from home. It can still be used for a pot and would surprise your guests when they go to lift it up. It’s a cute conversation piece and I definitely want one (or two) for myself.
9a. Grizzly Bear Hands Oven Mitts
I mentioned this in a previous video, but I’m mentioning this again, cuz it’s bear-y cute! Comes in either a Grizzly Bear or Polar Bear version. The Polar Bear is winter appropriate, but I could see it being harder to keep clean. These oven mitts are made from insulated cotton and the “paw” pads are constructed from heat resistant silicone. It would especially be funny for someone to wear outside when they’re grilling.
Other Variation:
9b. Polar Bear Hands Oven Mitts
10. Electric Flameless S’mores Maker
You can make s’mores without flames or candles, because this maker is electric! It’s a fun and safe way to make s’mores through the winter, on your tabletop, and keep warm indoors. It’s easy to clean, BPA free, and comes with two roasting forks. According to reviews, it does take a while to toast the marshmallow, so some say it helps to pre-heat it by plugging it in for a while. Because it’s electric, it makes it safer and less scary for kids to use.
11. Sriracha To Go Keychain
Sometimes I wish I had this with me when I’m out and feel like my food needs a little kick. This set of 2 bottles doesn’t come with Sriracha. You have to fill it yourself, but this gives me an idea. Joe always like my Chojang (Gochujang Vinaigrette) sauce the best. He always says he wishes he had my sauce on him to take with him to restaurants whenever we orders Hwe Dup Bap or Korean raw fish mixed rice. With these bottles, he can! Reviewers have said how convenient and practical these keychain bottles are when they’re camping, at the beach, or eating dinner at their in-laws! Some have made claims that it doesn’t leak even after being dropped and stepped on!
12. Angry Mom + Cool Mom
These set of “moms” are super funny. The “Angry Mama” is used to clean the microwave. Fill her with water and vinegar or lemon juice, and pop her in the microwave. Hot steam comes out of her head to soften and release microwave stains for fast and easy cleaning! The “Chilly Mama” keeps your fridge fresh. Fill her with baking soda and stick her in the fridge or freezer to eliminate odors. It even has an indicator so you know when to replace the baking soda. I like that you can use natural ingredients to clean and freshen your home with these silly “moms.”
13a. Pirate Wine Opener
This cute pirate shaped corkscrew is designed to look like it has a peg leg when you remove the cork of your wine bottle! It comes with an easy-open lever, integrated serrated foil cutter, and beer bottle opener. There’s a flamingo version which would be cute for the summer time. Either one fits easily into your pocket, picnic basket, or the kitchen drawer at home. It would be better if it came with a magnet, but some reviewers have said they just added their own. These fun wine openers would make a great stocking stuffer or hostess gift.
Other Variation:
13b. Flamingo Wine Opener
14. Llama Drink Markers
These little llama buddies rest on the edge of your drink so there is no mistaking which one is yours! The set includes 6 llamas with different colors. These are perfect for stemless wine glasses and even thicker walled drink glasses. The colorful, cheerful design will make you smile. The Llamas are made of BPA-free, phthalate-free, food-grade silicone. That way you don’t have to worry if they accidentally fall into your drink! They make a great gift for wine or llama lovers!
15a. Ice Cream Air Pods Case
I thought of this because Joe was maybe thinking of getting me Air Pods, and I wanted something other than the generic case. This cute case is made of premium silicone material. It comes with a key ring for easy attaching. I love all the colors, but my favorite one is the mint/ teal blue-green one. If you’re a foodie or a lover of ice cream, this case is perfect for you. Check out the pro version too!
Other Variation:
15b. Ice Cream Air Pods Pro Case
16. If You Can Read This, Bring Me Some….Socks
Everyone will get a kick out of these novelty If You Can Read This, Bring Me Some…. Socks! They make a great stocking stuffer or white elephant gift. At the end of a long day, sit back, rest your feet up and have someone bring you a treat! I personally would like the “bring me some coffee” or “bring me some ice cream” ones, but the “bring me some wine” ones work too…haha! I like the clean font and the fact that the images of the food or drink mentioned is printed on the sock as well. After all your Christmas shopping is done, this is even something you can gift yourself!
