I am a foodie. And if you give me a food gift, I will love you forever. So, I thought it would be fun to create a little round-up for you of exciting homemade gifts for foodies.

Since the holidays are fast approaching, now is the time to start thinking about homemade gifts and honestly, I think people really enjoy gifts that they can eat! I know I do!

When I go on vacation or shopping at new place, I don’t come home with your typical tourist-y items. I always buy food. Fun food. Like gourmet sauces and handmade cheeses or specialty pickles. I’m obsessed with gourmet canned foods!

And I know that there are others out there like me that love to receive fancy food gifts!

So, if you have a food lover on your gift shopping list and you’re looking for homemade gifts for foodies, then you’re going to love this list!
