If Your Friend Loved Staud's Tomato Bag, Chances Are They'll Also Love These 20 Holiday Gifts

Over the past few years, food motifs have popped up everywhere. Tomato-scented candles, sardine-shaped purses—I could write a dissertation on the intersection of fashion, interior design, and food culture, but I'll spare you my ramblings. Instead, I'll give you some really cute gift ideas that fall under this playful theme. Some of these items are a bit camp, such as Staud's beaded hot dog bag that never fails to start a conversation. But others are more functional. Take, for example, Fellow's matcha set, which might be the prettiest I've ever seen. Be it whimsical, practical, or a little bit of both, each of the gifts below will be appreciated by the foodies in your life. To shop my favorites in this fun category—including, naturally, Pamela Anderson's pickles—keep reading.

Big Night

Snack Spreaders Set

Big Night is one of my favorite stores in NYC, and I'm so happy it has an online retail option so everyone can snag these adorable gifts.

Hailee Catalano's cookbook is one of my most-used books of 2025. Recipes include homemade pickles, spinach and artichoke ziti, cannoli-inspired ice-cream cake, and so much more.

Flamingo Estate

Pamela's Pickles

These are finally back in stock, so grab them while you can!

Leave it to Porta to provide chic serving utensils.

Individual packets of dressing are a genius idea. Not only do these make packing lunches easier, but I love how simple the ingredient lists are. The sweet pomegranate dressing is my favorite, but I recommend gifting the variety pack.

It wouldn't be a foodie gift guide without a tomato candle.

Leif

The sweetest berry basket.

If the hot dog isn't calling your name, the Tommy Bag also comes in garden vegetable, tomato, sardine, and mushroom.

Matty's World

Matty's Patty's Embroidered Hat

Syrup Sampler

Coffee at home has never tasted better.

A cuter coup does not exist.

FlavCity

Protein Smoothie Single-Serve Packets

For the on-the-go foodie who also has high protein goals.

Urban Outfitters

Icon Fabric Coaster Set of 3

I know at least six women who would fawn over these.

I came for the packaging but stayed because the tea is delicious.
