What makes a good unique Nonfood Gift idea?

A fun and exciting present are always at the top of our list when it comes to giving to holiday presents. If you get the people on your list a gift that they typically won’t have gotten themselves, this makes it a fun gift that will stand out – for sure!

We recommend thinking outside the box and combining it with what you know that they love because it’s a waste of money to buy something that they won’t like – when you could have just given them something from this list!

Also, don’t forget that a gift card can be a great option as well – because then it gives them the reigns to buy something that they’ll really use and love.

Is a cookbook a good gift for a foodie?

Is a cookbook a good gift for a foodie? Yes, it is! This is a great way to stimulate their cooking brains and give them so tasty new ideas! (and who knows – they just might make you something from the cookbook as a thank you!)

The reason that cookbooks are so popular is that they’re fun to look through and see pictures. I’m a visual person, so having a recipe written out and then being able to see the end result makes me super happy – and hungry.
