A Holiday Gift Guide for the Foodie
`Tis the season for gift shopping and Playhouse Village is here to help. We’ve discovered ideas that might be the perfect something for your someone. We all have that person who delight in the joys of food and drinks, here are fun presents to give the foodie we love!
More than a Gift Card
It’s more than a gift card, it’s a chance to treat your foodie to a meal at their favorite Village eatery, or introduce them to somewhere new. By purchasing a gift card, you directly support your local businesses too. While many Village eateries offer gift cards, it is best to call ahead for availability.
A Sharp Choice
Any charcuterie lover would appreciate this 9-Piece Cheese Tool Set from Jacob Maarse Home Décor. They’ll be able to sharpen their cheese cutting skills and elevate their cheeseboard with the right knives and serving tools. The set comes with 4 porcelain plates decorated with the names of some of the most popular cheeses.
Make an Impression
A staple at Urth Caffe, the Original French Press by Bodum is available for purchase in their store and online. The press method is great for steeping tea and coffee until the ideal flavors, and pressed to prevent the tea leaves or coffee to release unpleasant flavors. The staff highly recommends using this to bring the best out of their coffee and teas at home! This press makes up to 8 cups of tea or coffee, perfect for sharing a brew together.
Jonesing in the Best Way
Gift a piece of Jones Coffee Roasters to enjoy at home all year long with a Jones Coffee Club Membership. Jones Coffee Roasters is recognized as a leader in fair trade, sustainable coffees with flavor profiles that span from nutty and fruity, to aromatic and chocolatey. As a member of their club, Jones will send your favorite blends of theirs every month and on your schedule.
Oh, How Charming
Show how sweet it is to be loved by you with an ice cream or Cupcake Rembrandt Charm from Mimi et Cie. The charms sparkle on its own, but can be an even more meaningful gift when combined together with other charms as a bracelet set. Available in various weights of gold and silver, find the right combination and picks with the expert and friendly help from Mimi and her staff today.
Eco-Friendly for the Eco-Friend
For the environmentally conscious foodie, this Zip Top Dish from BANS UP Refill is the perfect on-the-go gift. Made of 100% platinum silicone, these reusable containers are microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe. They also are easy to pack and store, saving much needed cabinet space.
For the Reader’s Digest
Books and cookbooks make a great and timeless gift for our foodies who love to explore and create. From USC Pacific Asia Museum Shop, gift a copy of Roy Choi’s L.A. Son, a delicious exploration of his childhood and rise to becoming the chef and restaurateur he is today.
