Vitamin M Gift Guide

Last year, I made a food inspired stocking stuffer guide.  This year I am taking it up a notch with a gift guide, just in time for holiday shopping!  Take a look at my ideas below and happy hunting.

For the Health Nut

• Mini Shopping Cart:  Fill this wire shopping cart with apples, oranges, and bananas and deliver to a friend.  It makes a cute center piece or a great fruit bowl.

For the Food Scientist

• Soda Maker:  Last year Brad was nice enough to get me a seltzer maker.  Making carbonated water and soft drinks is simple! You can easily turn tap water into sparkling water in under 30 seconds, with no clean-up.  You can also add the flavor of your choice to make your favorite drink or simply enjoy alone. Take a look at the video below to see just how easy it is.

For the History Hearted Foodie

• What’s Cooking Uncle Sam exhibit gifts:  As you know, I had the chance to participate in the What’s Cooking Uncle Sam exhibit opening.  For the nostalgic foodie get them a gift that takes from the exhibits’ retro ads.  Take a sneak peak at the exhibit and its offerings below.  Be sure to visit it before it closes in the new year!

For the Hostess with the Mostess

• Emersonmade Linens:  Emersonmade is a clothing and linens company owned and operated by what appears to be a husband and wife team with my dream life.  They split their time between NYC where Emersonmade is produced (made in Garment district NYC!) and their farm in New Hampshire. Together they have converted a horse farm to into an organic farm where heritage breed animals live in their natural habitats.  Not only are their clothes my style, but they have fabulous linens.  Check out their napkins and table runners below.

For the Drunk Foodie

• Bottle Stoppers:  This is an affordable but unique gift for the wine lover in your life.

For the Little Foodie

• Strega Nona Story Book: Strega Nona — “Grandma Witch” — is the source for potions, cures, magic, and comfort in her Calabrian town. Her magical everfull pasta pot is especially intriguing to hungry Big Anthony. He is supposed to look after her house and tend her garden but one day, when she goes over the mountain to visit Strega Amelia, Big Anthony recites the magic verse over the pasta pot, with disastrous results.  While I hadn’t read this as a kid, I recently learned it is a favorite!

For the Has-it-All Foodie

• Trader Joe’s Gift certificate:  Anyone who know me, knows I am a Trader Joe’s fanatic.  Without a doubt this gift certificate will be well received
