Are you feeling the anxious pressure of your holiday shopping list? Are you dying to find a truly special gift for the foodie in your life, but are already having nightmare flashbacks from last years last minute deep dive into the hellscape of your local mall on a late December evening? Can you feel the sweat start to build up under your sweater, while children scream nearby and the eerie crooning of Alvin and the Chipmunks drifts through the buzzing ether of flickering fluorescent lights?

Lets not put ourselves through that again, okay? This year, how about you keep your pajamas on and get your shopping done without confronting an ocean of existential dread? Get the foodie you love something personal they will adore – and use – for the whole year. These 3 subscription services are amazing gift ideas and are all easily purchasable online. Plus, they complement the hobbies and passions of all sorts of foodies (vegetarians and vegans included). Dont fall victim to the advice of a 19 year-old sales associate working December 23rd, exercise your giftmanship skills like a pro, and give interesting gifts that will last all year:

Saloon Box

A cocktail of the month service is a great gift for any 20-30 year old foodie! One that I love is Saloon Box. They send premium curated spirits in delightful and unexpected combinations so your giftee can learn to make a sophisticated drink, try new flavors, and feel like he or she is a fancy old timey baron or maybe a mysterious jazz musician. Dont let your foodie friend start a well thought out meal with vodka and sodas! Let them serve Blushing Besamims instead!

Spice Bar

Give a monthly gift of fresh, curated, and unusual spices with Spice Bar. Its an easy way for your foodie to elevate their cooking, explore new flavors, and get fancier with their meals. Great for the discerning botanist or the clueless (but enthusiastic) newbie with nothing more than mustard and beer in the fridge, these spices will help spur creative concoctions in the kitchen that they (and hopefully you) will be able to enjoy month after month.

Moustache Coffee Club

What is more essential than cocktails, books, wine, food, hobbies, life, or anything? COFFEE. Because if you dont have coffee, nothing else is possible. Dont let your foodie ever experience the horror of forcing themselves to wake up and get ready for work and then arriving at the horrible realization that there is no more coffee in the house. Give them the freedom to never worry about having to drink the sad dirt boiling at the back of the gas station convenience store because they didnt have time to stop anywhere else. Give them excellent, ethically grown, exquisite tasting, mind invigorating coffee every week from the Moustache Coffee Club. Shipping is free and the coffee changes each week so your foodie will get to try something fresh, new and delicious every morning.
