Christmas 2024 Gifts for Foodies and Party Hosts – TIA Top Picks

The Beast Mini Blender

The Beast Mini Blender is one our best gifts for foodies on the go!

The stylist and minimalist Beast Mini Blender is equipped with a 600 watt motor that can blend, crush, and pulse to make all your favorite smoothies, cocktails, desserts and more. Your recipe enthusiast will adore this mini blender upgrade, and with its sleek design (available in five colors), it’s stylish enough to leave out on the counter—no need to tuck it away in a cabinet!

 

Amazon Review: Powerful and High Quality – The Beast Mini Blender was a great choice! I was tired of getting out my heavy Vitamix blender just to make a single protein smoothie. I started researching mini blenders and America’s Test Kitchen recommended this one. Nice color choices, easy to clean, the “Plus” came with (essential) extra parts: 3 sizes of jars, 2 straws, straw brush, several different tops. I highly recommend this powerful blender. If I needed a larger blender, I would consider the regular sized Beast, which is also an ATK recommendation.

I love that it has ice packs that keep the surface cold and my spread fresh, and safe. It looks good too, such a well made product. The carry pouch was very handy when I recently had to bring a dish to a party, it was so easy to make my presentation and transport it to the party nice and fresh and ready to go, plus I had another icepack to make it last for hours. Once you have this you will never use any other!!

CATTLMAN Sous Vide Cooker Kit with 30 Vacuum Bags

The CATTLEMAN Sous Vide Machine is a great gift for the foodie or party host on your list!

Sous vide is a cooking technique that’s been around since the 70’s, but it’s become very popular in recent years. Why? Because sous vide allows you to slowly cook different foods at a low temperature and allows you to achieve a precisely regulated temperature. This puts you in total control of the cook of your food, it’s also great for serving large crowds or for more time flexibility when cooking a variety of dishes. Sous vide works exceptionally well when cooking proteins like chicken or steak.

Amazon Review: “I was looking forward to buy a Sous Vide since I tasted my son’s cooked to perfection barbecues (meat, pork, and chicken), so juicy and tender. So, last week I got the opportunity to buy one from Cattleman Cuisine, their most recent product, that was on sale at a very good price. There is no need to assemble, using it is so easy, you just need a heat resistance recipient, sous vide bags, and a good recipe. It comes with a recipe booklet and instructions on how to cook different meals. It works as should be, maintaining a constant temperature during the whole process, for tastier and healthier food.”

Intrusou Electric Warming Tray – Full Surface Heating,Rollable & Portable

The three level temps allow you to keep foods hot, or just lightly warm to aid tasks like thawing or helping dough rise. It also rolls up compactly for easy storage or to take with your and use at place like picnics, ball games, and other places away from the kitchen.

This is a great gift for a foodie or a party host that likes to host camping trips, picnics, and more.

Amazon Review: Love this! – This warming tray is awesome! First, it is not big and bulking like a traditional warming tray. It rolls up for easy storage and travel and comes with a strap and bag to store it. We took it tailgating this past weekend and it worked great! (It does require electricity). We plugged it into our mini generator and kept several of our items warm. There are 3 heating settings too, which is great to have the different options. I was able to put 3 medium size aluminum trays on it. My friends loved it so much they plan to get one too!

Christmas 2024 Gifts for Foodies and Party Hosts – Hostess Gifts

Giadzy Amaretti Cookies Tin

Giadzy, a delightful food line by Giada De Laurentiis, brings you this assortment of biscotti. It includes both classic crunchy varieties and a selection of softer ones, all crafted gluten-free in Italy.

Amazon Review: So Tasty – The individual cookies in this variety pack are kind of small, but so very tasty! They come individually wrapped inside of a good-sized tin. I am not really sure which is my favorite, because not only is there a variety of flavors, but also some are crunchy and others are soft.

Where to Buy: Amazon

Giada de Laurentiis Apricot Panettone

Panettone is one of the most traditional sweets during the holidays. This version from Giada De Laurentiis features an apricot twist.  This single, beautifully packaged apricot panettone from Italy would be appreciated by any host.  If you want to give them a panettone gift set they might love the Giadzy Panettone Paring Box, which comes in a gift box which includes hazelnut & cocoa spread, and wild strawberry jam.

Amazon Review: “I frequently start hunting this time of year for a yummy panettone. My hunting is done. Giadzy’s Apricot panettone is more than a bread and not as dense as a cake. I would happily eat it as is; however, lightly toasting underscores it sweetness and a bit of butter enhances its richness. Beautifully packaged, it arrived soft and moist as though it just left the bakery.”
