2023 Holiday Gift Guide for Food Lovers, Part 2 #holidaygiftguide2023 #giftsforfoodies #kitchenandfoodgifts #holidaygifts

It's time for Part 2 of my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide for Food Lovers. This installment includes a pair of gift suggestions for the entertainers and party hosts on your gift list...as well as a fantastic family-friendly gift idea. This year, I'm also including a bonus holiday thank-you gift suggestion that's perfect for teachers, mail carriers...and other people who help make your life easier throughout the year. It's also a great stocking stuffer. Let's get started!

(1) For the Gourmet Entertainer: DeLallo Italian Entertaining Gift Collection. If your holiday shopping list includes people who are known for being excellent party hosts/entertainers, DeLallo's Italian Entertaining Gift Collection ($123.95) is an ideal gift to give them! 

This comprehensive gourmet Italian gift box includes:

• DeLallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• DeLallo Sesame Breadsticks
• Italian Pitted Olive Medley
• DeLallo Roasted Red Pepper Strips
• DeLallo Imported Italian Tomato Bruschetta
• DeLallo Fig Spread
• Sweet Casalingo Dry Cured Sausage
• DeLallo Mini Genoa Salami
• DeLallo Imported Italian Granino Cheese Wedge
• Merlot VellaVitano Wedge

This deluxe gourmet gift set can be used to assemble an Italian charcuterie board for at-home celebrations ranging from New Year's Eve...Super Bowl Sunday...a romantic date night...or even a Girls Night In!

A charcuterie board curated from this gift set offers savory and sweet flavors...as well as multiple textures. It can also be augmented with nuts, dried/fresh fruit, warm bread, or a few cruditè to accommodate larger get-togethers. 

DeLallo has been producing and distributing quality Italian foods for more than seven decades. I'm always impressed with the quality of their products! Their gift sets are carefully arranged inside a blue logo box...and can easily be shipped across the U.S. For local gifting, simply ship the present to yourself. Add a festive bow and gift tag...and it's ready to gift! Be sure to check out DeLallo's entire line of Italian gift sets. There's literally something for all tastes...and a wide range of budgets. 

(2) For the Stylish Party Host: Lynn & Liana Designs Cheese Boards and Accent Trays. If your holiday shopping list includes someone who's both stylish and likes to assemble beautiful food displays...Lynn & Liana's stunning serving pieces will knock their socks off! They offer custom boards and platters that also serve as art. Every piece comes in nine color options...and no two boards are exactly alike. That's because Lynn & Liana uses eco-friendly resin and a production process that creates gorgeous designs unique to each item.

Their Medium Acacia Cheese Board ($89.95) combines beautiful Acacia hardwood with their eco-friendly resin to create a board that's a uniquely beautiful centerpiece for any appetizer table. This board is 8" x 16" x 5/8" -- including the handle. That's the ideal size to serve 2-4 people...perfect for small dinner parties, date night, or a fun girls' night in.

I love my Lynn & Liana Small Ceramic Resin Tray ($39.95). They originally designed these trays as bathroom accent decor to display toiletries and jewelry. But? I use mine to organize and display condiments when entertaining! For example, I've placed small bowls of dipping sauces on it to pair with appetizers for game day. 

Lynn & Liana's line of serving pieces also includes ceramic resin coasters, baguette Acacia boards, and large acrylic serving trays. These items pair perfectly with both items featured here! To check out Lynn & Liana's entire line of gorgeous items, be sure to check out their online shop.

(3) Perfect for Family-Friendly Gifting: DeLallo Pizza Night Gift Box. Pizza Night is the quintessential family-friendly weekend dinner. That means the families on your holiday shopping list are sure to appreciate receiving DeLallo's artisan Pizza Night Gift Box ($56.95). 

Each Pizza Night Box contains the following DeLallo signature items. It's plenty of ingredients to make four thin-crust...or two standard crust...pepperoni pizzas:

• Pizza Dough Kit -- just add water for artisan dough!
• Pizzeria-Style Pizza Sauce
• Short Stick 7-oz Pepperoni
• Chopped Calabrian Chili Peppers in Jar
• Pizza Seasoning Spice Shaker

Simply add your favorite shredded cheese -- DeLallo's Italian Pepperoni Pizza recipe recommends using fontina -- and other favorite toppings. All that's left to do is bake your personalized pizza creations for a perfect homemade Pizza Night! To order, visit DeLallo's easy-to-navigate online shop.

***Bonus Thank You Recognition Gift: Stonewall Kitchen Pretzel & Dip Grab & Go. We all have people we like to recognize during the holidays for making our lives easier. These people include teachers, mail carriers, and thoughtful co-workers and neighbors. Stonewall Kitchen's Pretzel Grab & Go Gift ($13.95) contains Dipping Pretzels and a jar of savory Bacon Horseradish Mustard Dip. It's a perfect holiday nosh!

Both delicious snack items arrive paired inside a clear cellophane bag that's tied with a logo ribbon. Simply add a festive holiday gift tag...and you're ready to gift in minutes. Easy peasy...and delicious!

Hint: This Pretzel Grab & Go set is also a FANTASTIC stocking stuffer option -- especially for the men in your life. These two snacks are perfect for football watching munchies!
