Foodie Stocking Stuffers

12 days of food-related Christmas gifts that will make friends and family say "Ho, ho, ho!"

Buying small Christmas gifts for friends and family can go one of two ways: Some people are impossible to buy for, and others delight in just about everything. In this list of 12 stocking stuffers, we've found something for everyone on your list—as long as they love food.

Raw Chocolates for Real Chocolate Lovers

These chocolates may be raw and gluten-free, but biting into the dense fudge-brownie-like pieces is still a euphoric experience. The sweets are delicately wrapped in foil and nestled into a glass jar with a cork lid, which makes them beautiful inside and out. Flavors include Vanilla Salt and Coconut Cayenne—all you have to do is guess the recipient's favorite.

It Bowls Us Over

The folks at the Design Store at the Museum of Modern Art never fail to amaze us. This natural cork and latex bowl is as versatile as a black cocktail dress. It can be used to store fruit, bread, and holiday cookies. It's water- and stain-resistant, and the rims are adjustable. If only all bowls were this cool.

Measuring Cups That Stack Up

Regular measuring cups look great inside a kitchen cabinet, but these charming, stackable bone china cups from Anthropologie belong out on a kitchen counter for the world to see. They are dishwasher-safe and color-coordinated (the interior of each cup is a different color).

Olive Oil for the Taste and Beauty

When was the last time you bought someone two gifts in one? It's hard to decide what to like more, the actual Grove45.com Napa Valley extra-virgin olive oil or the brushed-aluminum bottle with an embossed pewter label that it comes in. Once the EVOO is gone, the bottle can turn into a hip flower vase or fancy water bottle—or, better yet, a permanent bottle for your oil.

A Lunch-Plate Special

Uncommon Goods' Soup and Sandwich tray could be a game-changer for anyone prone to spilling their meal at least once a day. Think frills and no more spills with this white ceramic duo that gives new meaning to "TV dinner."

The Maine Event: Smoked Salmon

Put this in a stocking to make any smoked-salmon fanatic scream with delight on Christmas morning—and be left with smelly stockings. (Hey, it's a small price to pay.) Max & Me's Maine variety tastes smooth and buttery, as good salmon should. Just be sure to have some bagels and cream cheese at the ready.

Kale Is the New Bling

You read that right: Kale is not just for making green juices, salads, and chips anymore. How about earrings? These handpicked leaves have been coated with copper and preserved in 24-karat gold. The end result: Wearable food that doubles as a work of art.

Tea and Sympathy

Ajiri Kenyan Black Tea could turn any coffee drinker to the leaf side. These cool tea boxes are designed and handcrafted by women in Kenya, using dried banana leaves for the labels and twine. And while you're drinking a delicious cuppa, you can steep in the knowledge that 100 percent of the profit goes to educating orphans in western Ken

Seal of Approval

This "Home Made" stamp is for any cook who wants to tell the world he or she can bake some darn good cookies from scratch. The red-and-white stamp measures roughly 3 inches in diameter. Stuck inside on a snow day? Get stamping!

"The King" of Beef Jerky

Brooklyn-based King's County Jerky knows how to make a mean batch of this chewy, meaty snack. The "Classic" is nothing short of an MSG-free miracle. What makes it so good? The combo of grass-fed beef, smoky Spanish paprika, cloves, onion, garlic, cracked pepper, and dark molasses.

For Sweet-Tooth Fairies

The Dark Chocolate-Sea Salt caramels from Liddabit prove that the craze over sea-salt-infused desserts is not dead, and won't be for a while. These sweet treats are made from organic and direct-trade Taza chocolate and are easier to unwrap than chew. We like to pretend it's a workout.Coasters for Hosters

Coasters for Hosters

People who love having friends over and care about their tables will appreciate these hand-carved coasters from Jali Designs. They add character to any living room setting without even trying. Made from durable and sustainable Afghan walnut wood, the coasters are inspired by the window screens found in old houses in Afghanistan.
