feed their favorite passion with wedding gifts for the foodie.
Breakfast in bed, brunch on the patio, or fine dining al fresco — can you give food as a wedding gift? Of course you can! Wedding gifts for foodies add a gourmet touch to all sorts of romantic meals. Start with your couple’s wedding registry
to get ideas that are tailor-made for gifting, and then choose from our great selection of food-related kitchen wedding gifts.
1. perfect pantry starters
Gifts for cooking lovers can be all over the map. Reflect this sentiment with a starter collection of spices from different world cuisines. Alternatively, give them a bouquet of aromatic flavors with a countertop or cupboard spice rack, prefilled with staple herbs and spices. For the do-it-yourself newlyweds, choose stylish empty spice jars, ready to be filled with their favorites.
2. home from the honeymoon care package
Be the person who always gives amazing gifts by presenting the happy couple with a care package. Surprise them with food when they return from the honeymoon, tired and hungry but happy. Our great selection of gourmet gift packages includes spreads and crackers assortments complete with cutting boards. You could also send a gift tower with sweet and savory treats or a movie night package with popcorn and snacks. All they have to do is open and enjoy, so this gift is sure to please.
3. gourmet gadgets gift
Two cups of creativity and a dash of panache mix up a platter of savvy gifts for the foodie on your gourmet gift list. Choose unique kitchen gadgets from our selection of tools for advanced cooks. For example, create a package of the tools they need to make authentic zuppa toscana, such as an olive oil sprayer, garlic press, and vegetable chopper. Set them up for a steamy barbeque supper with shish kebab skewers, corn on the cob holders, a set of grilling tools, and picnic serve ware, all neatly arranged in a grill caddy. More possible themes for a gourmet gadget gift include:
- Crème brulee package with a mini torch, ramekins, and a baking dish
- Lobster kit with seafood cracker set, lobster bibs, and a gift certificate for lobster for two
- Fresh fruits with peelers, zesters, choppers, and serving bowls
4. beverage sets
A fun gift for any occasion, a beverage gift can set an intimate scene for the newlyweds too. Whether you want to go traditional with champagne flutes and a bottle of bubbly or original with the makings for a margarita-themed evening, you’ll find lots of great ideas in our eclectic beverage gift supplies. For the health-minded newlyweds, think soda machines or coffee sets, complete with tumblers, cups, and flavorings.
5. wine and cheese classics
Picnics, whether at the lake or in front of the fireplace, are the ultimate in romantic rendezvous. Inspire your favorite newlyweds to explore their fondest dreams with a wine and cheese picnic package. One easy strategy for getting started is to build upon one of our cheese snack baskets. Add a cutting board personalized with their name or initials. Then, drop into your favorite fromagerie for a selection of gourmet cheeses. Add a bottle or two of their favorite wine, a pair of keepsake glasses, and a corkscrew, of course.
6. wedding gift basket
Gift baskets are a beautiful way to fete your favorite foodies on their wedding day. Choose from our mouth-watering selection of pre-made Alder Creek gift baskets, or arrange your own tantalizing collection of gifts for cooking lovers. Consider the following themes for inspiration:
- Breakfast basket for the morning after
- His and her spa gift basket with chocolates
- Gourmet coffee gift basket with cappuccino maker
- Northwest wedding gift basket with smoked salmon
- Southwest basket with spicy snacks
- Personalized wedding basket with monogrammed towels, personalized cheese board, and engraved champagne flutes
7. wine wedding gift
A wine wedding gift can be anything from a case of their favorites to a wine tasting kit with all the bells and whistles. Even the foodie who seems to have everything will love to receive some of the items in our unique selection of wine-related gifts. Choose from automatic corkscrews, insulated wine coolers, wine preservation systems, and artful wine racks. If you share the newlywed’s wine enthusiasm, put together some stunning snack and wine pairings they’ll love. You could even pack it all up to go in a stylish wine tote.
8. full meal wedding gifts for the foodie
Take your cue from the meal services that are so popular with young working couples, and give them the makings of a gourmet meal once or twice per month. Because they are foodies, they probably enjoy prepping and cooking, but your planning, shopping, and instructions will be invaluable to time-challenged newlyweds. Be sure to include essential tools like whisks, cheese graters and chopping gadgets, depending on the recipe. You could even include a place setting from their wedding china or those pretty placemats from their wedding registry.
9. recipes for making fond memories
A box of your family’s favorite recipes is one of the most thoughtful wedding gifts for the foodie. Whenever one or both of the newlyweds get nostalgic about childhood dishes, they can delve into the recipe box to find just the dessert, casserole, or salad they yearn for. Make it even more meaningful by adding an interesting note to each recipe card. For example, remind them of a shared memory or a funny story about the person behind the recipe. Accompany the recipes with a treat or entrée from the collection.
10. date night dinner for romantic gourmets
Once the wedding excitement is over, help keep your favorite newlyweds excited about food with the gift of dinner out. Take care of all the details from childcare, if needed, to transportation to and from the restaurant. How do you present this type of food gift? With style, of course. Create a package that includes a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant plus a few extras, such as:
- Pre-event beverages and light snacks
- After-dinner liqueur with appropriate beverage glasses
- Single-serve cappuccino machine for gourmet coffee after dinner
- Chocolates or pastries in case they skipped dessert
If you are babysitting, place a mint on each of their pillows to extend the magic of their special evening.
11. wedding gifts for the foodie who eats dessert first
Help send them off on a sweet note with a gift of dessert. An assortment of gourmet cookies, for instance, is a good starter, and you can add some kitchen baking basics that will inspire them to make more of their favorite treats. Mixing bowls, cookie cutters, cookie scoops, and baking sheets provides newly married couples with all the tools they will need. For experienced bakers who enjoy whipping up patisserie-style dainties, go with professional tools such as a cake decorating set with piping bags and tips. Specialty baking pans, such as a souffle or springform cheesecake pan, are inspired selections as well.
12. world cuisine wedding gift
Whether their honeymoon destination is Tuscany, Paris, or Miami, use that region as your cue in choosing wedding gifts for the foodie. Italian food gifts might include a pasta maker, a gelato machine, or even an Italian cooking class experience. For a Miami honeymoon, create a Cuban-themed gift with foods and the tools to cook them. Better yet, gift them with a Cuban cooking tour and class while they are in Miami. A Paris gift package might include everything they need to recreate those fresh, aromatic baguettes that are a staple of Parisian daily life. Think flour, yeast, and a special baguette breadboard. If you prefer, pull together a French onion soup kit complete with fresh gruyere and parmesan. Add ceramic ramekins, and you’ve got a gift that any eclectic foodie will love.
