Christmas 2024 Gifts for Foodies and Party Hosts – TIA Top Picks
The Beast Mini Blender
This is one of those items everyone secretly wishes they had. It’s the perfect upgrade from that “other one” we all settle for but don’t truly love. 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.

Chilled Charcuterie Board with an Ice Pack
This one is genius! “The Latitude Board is a chilled charcuterie board with an interchangeable ice pack hidden in the core! Made with durable moisture-resistant teak hardwood. The temperature of the board stays between 50-55°F for 3 to 4 hours per ice pack.” This would be perfect for smoked salmon and cream cheese!
Amazon Review: Genius product! A must have!! – Ok, so I can’t say enough about how smart this board is!! I often use this in the Florida heat and it’s a game changer!! 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!!

If you have a foodie on your list, they’ll flip when they open this gift.
What is Sous Vide? Sous Vide, also known as low-temperature, long-time cooking, is a method of cooking invented by the French chef Georges Pralus in 1974, in which food is placed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and cooked in a water bath for longer than usual cooking times at a precisely regulated temperature.
This technique ensures perfect doneness in proteins like steak and chicken, while also creating a tender texture and retaining moisture.

Electric Warming Tray – Full Surface Heating,Rollable & Portable
More than just a warming tray. They can use it to help rise dough, thaw out frozen foods, or even warm up a facial mask for a spa-like experience!
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!

Super simple to use. Just put it on top of the jar with its sealing lid and push the button on top. About a minute later it’s nice and air tight. Buying extra to give as presents.

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.

Son Seven Farms
I included this on another list, but it’s perfect for this Foodie list too. This small farm in Indiana is dedicated to traditional farming practices, focusing on health and quality. I’ve been getting my beef from them for a while, and I have to say, the meat is outstanding.

Christmas 2024 Gifts for Foodies and Party Hosts – Luxury Gifts
Ninja Pressure Cooker
I don’t have this pressure cooker yet, but it’s definitely on my list. I already own a few other Ninja products, like an air fryer and blender, and they’re both fantastic. Ninja might be a bit pricier, but it’s worth it—their products are powerful, durable, and built to last. It’s great to see a company that still prioritizes quality. Plus, a pressure cooker is one of those kitchen essentials that makes cooking so much easier and brings out amazing flavors.
Amazon Review: Wow, this new kitchen device has me speechless! Coming from a busy working mama of 2 young kids, this saves me so much time everyday. Less time I spend in the kitchen means more time I can spend with my family.
