Gifts by the Personal Shopper for the Chef at Heart

chocolate as giftI am assuming that if you're reading this, then you have very wisely chosen to stay in today and either 1) keep digesting all the food you ate last night (I am, too!), or 2) start your holiday shopping from the comfort of your own home. That is, of course, unless you are surfing the Internet from your Sidekick 3, in which case, good for you for reading Slashfood everywhere!

In order to help you with your shopping, I am poking around the web for great places to find gifts for your food-ish friends, family, and of course, for yourself. Personal Shopper is a website that has put together quite a comprehensive list of gift guides . Rather than simply listing gifts "For Him," "For Her," and "For Kids," they have narrowed the lists down by fairly specific "types." Personal Shopper is not a store; rather it points you to online stores where you can find their gift selections. For us here at Slashfood, we like gifts for The Chef at Heart.

Holiday Gift Guide for your favorite foodie - books

Today is Black Friday. It's the biggest shopping day of the year, and if you're smart, you'll stay home to avoid the traffic, the crowds, and the high levels of effort for marginal gains on your shopping list. Perhaps the best thing to do is to stay home, turn on the tv, and get your shopping done online.

Perhaps one of the easiest gifts to give is a book, and for your favorite food-obsessed friend or family member, a book about food, rather than a cookbook, is a welcome change. Sean Timberlake (of Hedonia, and whom we love here at Slashfood) has put together a short list of books that would be a fabulous place to star for your holiday shopping. Most of them we've seen before here, but it's nice to have them all in one neat little list.

Tip of the Day

Get the most out of your grilled meats by enhancing their flavor with just a few quick and easy steps.
