This season, get creative with your holiday gifts. We searched high and low for our favorite foodie finds for cooks and food lovers everywhere. Happy Holidays!

Envirosax
$8.50
Once you introduce your friends and family to these fun, reusable grocery bags, they'll never go back to paper or plastic. They come in handy for all sorts of errands -- and make you and your recipient leaders in the green revolution to boot.

 

Garlic Peeler
$4.99
This simple contraption is downright magical. Place garlic cloves inside the silicone tube, roll it back and forth a couple of times, and -- presto -- they're peeled. This stocking stuffer will steal the stage when you move the party into the kitchen.

 

Bodum's Assam Double-Wall Tumblers
Set of 2 for $14.95
Look, ma, no handle! 2007's answer to last year's stemless wine glass craze, this trendy mug comes in several sizes and shapes. All are made of two walls of high-tech borosilicate glass, a strong, heat-resistant, lightweight glass used to make scientific lab equiptment.

 

 

Silicone Zone Flexible Cutting Boards
4 for $11.99
High in design and functionality, these colorful, easy-to-store, 12" x 16" cutting boards protect against cross-contamination during food prep. The set of four includes one of each motif: chicken, cow, carrot, and fish.

 

 

Dan Gui Piao Xiang Blooming Flower Tea
10 for $9.99
When dropped into hot water, these little tea bundles expand into flowery displays. Score points with the family with this after-dinner delight.

 

Tastebook.com Make Your Own Cookbook

Make a cookbook with your recipes or theirs and illustrate it with the website's library of gorgeous pictures. Create one online or buy it and let them do the work!

 

Amai Botanical Brownies
$15 for a 4-brownie gift box 
It's a whole new world of brownie flavors with Luscious Lychee, Mandarin Dreams, White Peach Promises, and Cherry Blossom. They're made with all-natural cocoa powder, 99% dark chocolate, and chopped fruit pieces, and somehow achieve the perfect balance between cake-like and fudge-like.

 

Back to Basics Stove-Top Popcorn Popper 
$19.95 
Give the gift of old-school simplicity with this fun-to-twirl popcorn pot. There's a butter drip cup to keep the popcorn evenly coated, and it makes enough for the whole family. Kids can even watch the kernels pop in the see-through panel on the top.

    I do not like the recipe. It is NOT CUBAN AT ALL....Who invented that ugly combination with taco bell sauce?????? You only need garlic, onion, green pepper, a little bit tablespoon of sugar, and olive oil. Cumming and basil are optional!
