Last year, Kate (my colleague and daughter, for those of you who are new) convinced me to do a gift guide. As she said then, I’m more of an anytime, “just because” kind of gifter; I know in theory that holiday season is coming, but that fact doesn’t have tremendous bearing on my gift-giving life. That said, I’m glad we did our gift picks last year because a) people seemed to enjoy it and b) it was kind of fun to stand around my kitchen and decide which things I actually like (and would be happy to get/give as a gift).

So, we’re doing it again. Same deal as last year: everyone in our little crew (Kate, Daniel, Kerri, Melissa and I) picked a few of our favorite food-related things, all of which would make for good gifts (either for others or for yourself). I think it turned out to be a pretty fun and varied list. Anyway, I hope you find it useful.

Kate’s Picks

You may not think that storage bags are an exciting holiday gift, but when it comes to Stasher bags, I’m afraid I have to disagree. Look at how pretty they are! Think about how…
