I like to give books and recipe books. My latest favorite is Victoria Allman’s new book “SEAsoned: A Chef’s Journey With Her Captain” which is both a great read and has 30 wonderful recipes included. I have given it twice to rave reviews.

Great list. I like to combine the reusable bag & alcohol idea and give a reusable wine tote. The ones at Hero Bags are elegant and modern.

I love the idea of the gift basket including only items that start with the persons last name. I would like to do one for 2 of my friends whose last names begin with H and P. Any ideas?

Lots of great ideas. I think anything personalized shows that you are a thoughtful person, however I usually wouldn’t think that far ahead to get the monogram done. I used to bring wine but then I had an embarrassing moment when I brought a bottle to someone who was apparently in AA. Whoops. Now I bring a bottle of Batter Blaster organic pancake batter from a spray can. But who’s to say you can’t get addicted to pancakes.

Thanks for posting these. My son is spending Christmas in Germany with his friend’s parents, and the ideas are perfect for him to give the parents who he hasnt met yet!

This is a great post to get those creativity juices flowing! I especially liked the oregano plant idea.

As a dorky English teacher, I LOVE the idea of giving a gift basket full of items beginning with the couple’s last name. LOVE.
