Gifts For Foodies Under $50

Bamboo Cutting Board Set – These bamboo cutting boards are absolutely gorgeous and any home cook would be happy to use and display them in their kitchen

Iridescent Decanter Set – I’m obsessed with how pretty this decanter set is and it comes in four different colors! I love the almost retro vibes of the amber set, but the other colors are beautiful as well. Even if you just drink water out of this it will feel ✨fancy✨.

Hot Sauce Making Kit – As a hot sauce lover, this kit looks REALLY fun! I can only imagine the creativity (and maybe obsession) that it would spark, leading to tons of homemade hot sauces even after the contents of the kit have been used.

Pour Over Coffee Maker – We have a similar pour-over coffee maker in the Budget Bytes studio and I highly recommend it! Not only does it make great coffee and look pretty, but that metal filter has come in handy for many other purposes. Ha!

Fondue Set – Give the gift of having an excuse to eat an entire meal dipped in melted cheese. Honestly, why did fondue ever go out of style?? Who doesn’t love food dipped in melted cheese or chocolate?!

The New Cooking School Cookbook – America’s Test Kitchen is the expert of experts when it comes to cooking techniques, so if you have a friend or family member who really wants to hone their kitchen skills, this is the definitive guide! (The non-advanced version of this book is also available here for under $25.)

Sourdough Starter Kit – If you know someone who is just now getting into bread baking (or maybe trying again for a second time after the pandemic started), this sourdough starter kit is super cool. It has everything you need to make an Instagram-worthy loaf!

Frozen Fruit Soft Serve Maker – Okay, this thing looks really cool. It turns any frozen fruit into a soft, scoopable frozen sorbet. Remember that “nice cream” trend from ten years ago? It’s like that except you don’t need a food processor and you can use any fruit. Perfect for the frozen treat lover!

Tea Sampler Set – Know someone who is starting to show an interest in tea? This sampler set of looseleaf tea is the perfect way to dip your toes into the vast world of tea. Pair it with a simple diffuser for a complete set!

Gooseneck Kettle – Whether you’re buying for a coffee or tea drinker, this gooseneck tea kettle makes the brewing process an event. It’ll make you feel like you’re ordering coffee from a super pricey gourmet cafe, except YOU get to be the hipster barista!
