50+ Fabulous Food Gift Ideas

The holidays are upon us! I’ve always liked giving homemade food gifts for the holidays and they are great for hostess gifts to when visiting friends and family. There’s just something special about that personal touch when you’ve made something yummy to share with others. We like to give them as neighbor or teacher gifts during the holidays too.

Today, I’ve rounded up over fifty Fabulous Food Gift Ideas from some of my blogger friends but also including a couple of my favorites like Cranberry Amaretto Chutney, Gourmet Pecans and Chocolate Chip Biscotti.

Don’t be intimidated by the idea of adding one more thing to your holiday to-do list! Many of these recipes are made in less than 30 minutes or perhaps in the slowcooker where most of the active cooking time is hands off. I can’t wait to try a few of these myself.  Let me know which one you’ll try first!
