Check out my guide with 40 DIY consumable gift ideas: easy, affordable, and all made with natural ingredients.

Food & Snacks

1. Chocolate – UNDER $20 – You can’t go wrong. Pick bean-to-bar or ethical brands, or go with a small local brand. Add a cute note with pairing ideas (tea, coffee, or wine). Some of my favorites are: Hu Chocolate Bars, Cosmic Dealer, Loving Earth Chocolate, Seed and Bean & H!P Chocolate.
2. Sustainable snack box – UNDER $30 – You can get healthy & delicious goodies from a subscription box service, like Vegancuts.
3. Hot sauce – UNDER $20 – For your spicy friends. A sampler of different heat levels always works. When I visit home (Bulgaria), I always bring a few bottles of hot sauce from a local brand to my friends who love it.
4. Other fun sauces – UNDER $20 – Alternatively, if you are looking for something milder and less spicy – think BBQ, teriyaki, tahini, or curry sauces. A great gift for anyone who loves to cook.
5. Herb-infused olive oil – UNDER $20 – Garlic, basil, or rosemary; easy win. Pair it with a small loaf of sourdough bread and you’re golden.
6. Gourmet spices – UNDER $20 – A simple but awesome consumable gift for foodies. Go for blends like za’atar, herbes de Provence, or chili flakes.
7. Dessert spices – UNDER $20 – Cinnamon sugar, pumpkin pie spice, or apple pie blends. Perfect for the bakers in your life.
8. Bulk-store snacks – UNDER $20 – Fill jars with trail mix, candied fruit, or chocolate-covered almonds. Add a label and you’re done.
9. Hot chocolate bombs – UNDER $30 – Hot chocolate bombs are like hot chocolate, but better. Perfect for winter gifting.
10. Protein bars or powder – UNDER $30 – Great for your health-conscious friends and snackers. Pick brands with minimal ingredients & plastic-free packaging. My current favorites bars are: Misfits, Roo’ bars & Pulsin bars (not plastic-free but vegan, tasty, good for gifting!). As for protein powder, a cool giftable one is Form Nutrition.
11. Nut butter – UNDER $30 – Maybe too specific, but I’m a sucker for a cool, silky nut butter. Almond, hazelnut, pistachio… anything beyond peanut butter feels fancy. This pack of almond, hazelnut & cashew or pecan & PB seem great for gifting.
12. Medjool dates – UNDER $30 – Again, quite specific, but if you’ve tried these, you’ll get it. It’s nature’s caramel. Get some nice, juicy ones from your local health store. Always make sure to get fair-trade, ethically grown dates from Morocco, the US, or Palestine.
13. Maple syrup – UNDER $30 – The fancier, the better. For example, Runamok’s sparkle syrup is infused with good-grade sparkles and transforms any food into something magical.
