The holiday deadline is creeping in, but well-chosen foodie gifts keep last-minute presents from feeling rushed and unplanned. A gift tied to their favorite flavor, a long-planned piece of gear or an experience gift they’ve been saving up for hits closer to home than anything picked in a hurry. That kind of present feels chosen on purpose, even as the end of the shopping season approaches.
