Forget novelty socks and run-of-the-mill chocolates, there are plenty of great things you could get for the foodie in your life.
Like the rainbow-blast of Bakedown Cakery's artisanal single-origin Callebaut chocs, sourced from Brazil to Venezuela and reshaped like intricate jewels.
For something unexpected, try an avocado subscription - sent directly from a family farm in Horseshoe Bend, NSW. Or perfumed strips (made in Paris for the last 120 years) that you light up to spark a fragrance that will dispel cooking smells from your kitchen. Or a bottle of Joseph first-run extra virgin olive oil, straight from the press in South Australia.
After something charitable? Pick up a limited-edition pack of Ovvio's Organic Ginger and Lemon Drop Tea for Two Good - you'll get to keep one canister and a second tin will be sent to a domestic or homeless refuge on your behalf. Or you can opt for a wooden box of Sri Lankan cooking spices that will help support Oxfam.

There are plenty of quirky items you can find, too: a "Brie Happy" carry bag, taiyaki waffle iron shaped like a goldfish and an egg-cup accompanied by a mini hammer, to maximise your cracking potential.
Stylish options include a mid-century bar cart from West Elm, origami-like cheese tools by Canberra artist Alison Jackson or an award-winning spice grinder that works just by holding the minimal parts in one simple hand-crushing motion (no grinding needed).
Find it all on the food-lover-friendly gift guide featured in our photo gallery.
