Still searching for the perfect Christmas gift for the food, wine and coffee lovers on your gift list? We’ve got seven must-have gifts that will make your foodie friends very happy this holiday season.
Food, wine and coffee gifts
1. Calling All Bakers: Pure Vanilla Extract
Forget the stuff your mom bought in the supermarket. Today it’s easy to buy pure vanilla from Madagascar, Tahiti and Mexico. Put together a basket of assorted vanilla paste, powder, beans and
liquid extracts for your favorite baker—and don’t forget to include your taste-testing resume!
Order online at http://www.nielsenmassey.com
2. Cocktail Hour: Vintage Ice Crusher
There’s more to a well-stocked bar than top shelf liquor. Any serious mixologist will fall for a vintage ice crusher, like the Metrokane Retro Ice Crusher. Pair it with a copy of Nick
Mautone’s Raising the Bar, and your favorite cocktail connoisseur will be saying cheers.
Available on www.Amazon.com
3. The Green Grocer: CSA subscription
Give the gift that keeps on giving every season — a subscription to a local CSA (community supported agriculture). Year-round, just-picked seasonal produce and other locally sourced foods will
make your eco-conscious foodie very happy.
Find the nearest CSA by simply entering the lucky recipient’s zip code at www.localharvest.org.
4. For Wine Lovers: Fine wine
The wines from Seghesio in Healdsburg, CA are as wonderful as the family story that started it all back in 1902. Treat that special someone to a bottle of 2007 Old Vine Zinfandel or, if she has
been really good, get her a membership to the Centennial Club so she can enjoy Seghesio wines before they’re released to the public.

5. Coffee Connoisseurs: Coffee grinder
Consider it your good deed of the day, every day, when you give the Cuisinart Supreme Grind Burr Mill as a gift. Coffee drinkers will appreciate being able to custom-grind their beans for drip,
French press, espresso and more using this grinder’s 18 selections ranging from ultra-fine to extra-coarse.
You can find it at http://www.cuisinart.com
6. Eco-coffee lovers: Premium organic coffee
Pair the coffee grinder with a bag of True Origin single origin premium organic coffee. This 100 percent Columbian coffee is grown, harvested and roasted entirely in Columbia, which means the
family farms see more rewards for producing a truly superior bean.

7. Every Cook’s Essential: All purpose saute pan
If you had to choose just one pan to do every job in the kitchen, then the 3 Qt. Covered Sauté Pan from Circulon is up to any task. Saute vegetables, grill sandwiches, or make soups and
stews — all with an easy to clean, nonstick surface that’s also oven safe to 500 degrees F.
