We can’t resist beginning our holiday shopping already. We know, we know. What’s wrong with us holiday-over-commercialization pushers—can’t we wait until at least after Thanksgiving? Nope. Shopping for food people is so fun, we see no need for delay. It’s like shopping for ourselves. And when we browse online, there’s no hassle. Etsy is one of our favorite go-to online shops because when we buy there, we’re supporting independent artists and creative entrepreneurs, often working from home. And the gifts are either vintage items or hand-crafted—pretty unique all around.
No matter what kind of food aficionado you’re shopping for, there’s an edible idea that will charm. And we mean all kinds of people.
