17 Gifts for the Finest Foodies on Your List

Eat Drink & Be Merry Greeting Card, Two Arms

Dining out with a foodie is always an experience, but the fun shouldn’t stop at their preferred restaurant of choice. While some food lovers might know their way around a kitchen, others rely on the pros to satisfy their taste buds. Well, you’re in luck, because there are heaps of ways to spread the culinary cheer without gifting cooking essentials. Whether they’re always asking important questions when ordering, or photographing your meal before you can take a bite, here are 17 gifts fit for the finest foodies on your list!

Clockwise: BBQ of the Month Club, Murray’s Cheese of the Month Club, A Year’s Supply of TCHOcolate, Foodzie Tasting Box Gift Subscription

The easiest idea? Something edible of course! “Food of the Month” clubs are pretty much the best thing ever, and I’m not sure why I haven’t invested in one of these delicious options before. Each month, your favorite food-loving friend will receive a special package filled with different BBQ, cheese and chocolate goodies, just to name a few. This gift will not stop giving…at least for a few months!

What a Whirlwind

Smudge Ink Cities and States Holiday Cards

Cities and States Snow Globe Holiday Cards by Smudge Ink

How was your Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber / Green Gift Monday, weekend?

Did you relax? Enjoy family and friends? What about holiday shopping? Are you started? Finished? Is Wantist helping you save time and making your gift-giving even more fun this year? I sure hope so.

My weekend? It was filled with a delicious and emotional Thanksgiving, goodbyes, packing, loading, cleaning, and a very long drive with respiratory ick thrown in for good measure.

Alas…we made it! To beautiful San Francisco. And I think I’ve got the ick in check after a good night’s rest.

Yes, we moved! From our beloved Portland to the enchanting and bustling city by the Bay. It’s bittersweet. We’ll be in and out of town before we get settled, but can’t wait to explore and meet SF friends in real life.

Thanks for your patience through the bumps. We’re so excited to share your holidays with you!

xo,
Brittany

These cheerful gifts cover just about all possible scenarios of what’s got ‘em down and will help put that spring back in their step.

Babies in Waiting: Hilarious Gifts for Expecting Parents

Good Luck with THAT card for new parents

Good Luck with THAT Card by Creativity

I’m not a big baby person. They smell funny, they’re hot and they leak. However, many of my friends are baby people, so that leaves me the odd man out. Or does it?

Surprisingly enough, it doesn’t! Babies are great in that they create immediate gift-giving occasions. Considering they happen all the time, you don’t have to wait for a holiday or a birthday to come around. This is great for me because my best friend just found out she’s pregnant with her first baby and I can’t wait to start showering her with gifts.

Like many people expecting their first child, she’s a little clueless and totally freaked out in terms of what to expect. I like to ease that sense of anxiety by injecting some humor into the whole situation. After all, laughter is the best medicine. Here is a collection of hilarious gifts that will have you, and the expecting parents, rolling with laughter.

11 Happy Things to Make You Smile

Smile., Jocelyn Duke

Smiling’s one of those gifts that keeps on giving. It’s the perfect choice for every person and occasion, healthy, and inexpensive but not cheap. You can even give smiling right back when you receive it without being rude! Smiling’s my favorite.

Few symbols are associated with universal happiness, but the yellow smiley face is without a doubt one of them. Harvey Ball created the icon in 1963, and after his beloved friend started popping up on every bumper sticker and mall stand T-shirt, he feared its intent would soon be lost. His solution was World Smile Day, and the idea is pretty simple: Everyone should devote one day each year to smiles and kind acts throughout the world. We’re so in! Here are 11 things that will get you grinning. Pass it on!

Dear Great Teachers, Thanks for Teaching Us

Teacher Thank You Note Cards by dbPhoto

Teacher Thank You Note Cards by dbPhoto

I’ve had some wonderful teachers in my life, both in the classroom and others I’m fortunate to call friends. They continue to leave lasting impressions on me (some I couldn’t forget if I tried). They also taught me important lessons of persistence, patience and the difference between there, their and they’re.

Held annually on October 5th, today’s a special day to recognize teachers, set up by the educational division of the United Nations, to celebrate the essential role of teachers worldwide.

For World Teachers’ Day I wanted to share with you two inspirational tales from the internet of ways to show gratitude for your teachers. One, a public show of thanks on a unique and thoughtful website—you can participate too! The other, an example set by a sweet friend with a big heart that we can take and implement any day of the year.
