The BIG List of Handmade Homemade Edible Gifts-Over 100 Recipes (2024)

I love giving things, it’s true, I can’t help it. But I don’t like giving things people don’t need or want, know what I mean? Enter stage left, FOOD GIFTS! Need a foodie gift?? Find over 120 ideas here to make your own. Or PSSSTTTT pass this on to share with your friends and inspire them to give you food gifts this year!

Instead of making the mistake of buying something cheap from a box store, which literally means nothing except “I spent some money on you”, It’s time to get creative with foodie gift making. Make tasty edible gifts for your people!

And making food gifts had been mostly a hit. My father’s favorite dish? I make it for him every single year. My husband’s very own personal batch of sriracha sauce, a family foodie gift standard! A loaf of perfect bread? Given. Frozen pie crust, homemade and ready to roll, makes an edible gift. A basket-full of breakfast foods all grown on our property? Priceless! A gift bag with vodka, limes, ginger ale, and copper mugs was one

We’re also often the recipient of edible gifts and we love that even more! Everything for a huge batch of cioppino? GIVEN TO US and we loved that foodie gift! Bags of locally roasted coffee? Priceless. Chocolate bars from the local candy store were enjoyed!

Really the list is endless because one thing we all do is eat.

The person who receives your edible present has NOTHING to dust or keep forever. They enjoy your gift and then it’s gone!

Make that special person an entire candy box filled with candy just for them like these Malted Milk Balls or Homemade Truffles. They don’t even have to share!

Or the person who loves spicy food would appreciate their very own hot sauce or sriracha.

Or if you want to surprise someone with a classic baked good you’ll find some delish treats here.

If you have someone on a special diet and they’re struggling, you can give them something perfectly suited to them. Now THAT’S a wonderful present.

I’ve separated this list into categories. I think as you scroll through you’ll see how they’re broken down. Have fun and eat well!

Pin it or tweet it, or share it on facebook, they all work for sharing! I’d appreciate it, and ALL the bloggers who contributed to this massive list would too.

Let’s get SPICY!

This first group is all about bringing the FLAVOR. Whether is homemade seasonongs, extracts, or mixes, you'll find it here.

Sriracha Sauce Recipe
