What to Buy For Everybody on Your List

The ultimate mantra of gift giving is “Don’t give the gift you wish to receive, give them what they want.” Otherwise everyone would be getting hilarious sweaters with your face on them. Again. And since some of your friends are “really into apps” this year, and others are suddenly rock climbing, it means different gifts for everyone. Luckily, we’ve put together this list of what to get your friends, no matter what they’re into. Check it out:

They’ve described meals with tears in their eyes and were onto black truffle in 2005. Make their Food Network dreams come true with these kitchen accoutrements (they’re into French, too, duh).

501’s, for him or her

When they spend so much time facing a stove and wearing an apron, it’s important that their butt looks good.

Stand Mixer

The pièce de résistance of any true foodie’s kitchen, the stand mixer is a versatile tool that can do just about anything with the right attachment. The KitchenAid mixer is ubiquitous, since it manages to look like an old-school Corvette while mixing dough.

Truffle Salt

To the casual foodie, truffle salt makes everything better. Don’t say that to your friend, though, as they’ll launch into a diatribe on when, exactly, truffles should be sparingly applied to a dish.

Blue Apron

For the foodie on the go. Blue Apron ships ingredients to their house along with recipes, so they can prepare their own meals without having to shop. (Just be ready for them to put their own twist on everything.)

A wanderer's spirit makes them hard to pin down IRL, but they can still make you jealous via social media (sure, post a pic of your cat again...) Wherever they’re headed next, they’ll want to pack these.

Scratch-off Map

Just what it sounds like: a map that they can scratch-off to reveal all the places they've visited. Give them a few years and they’ll have this thing almost clear.

Chromecast

When the hotel channels are exhausted, they can plug in a Chromecast to the set and stream a computer screen directly to the TV. It will be like having a private movie theater wherever they go.

ROAM & Atari Headphones

Heavy-hitting bass earbuds with a dose of nostalgia. Plus they block out sound, so your friend can focus on that next line of code.
