A few weeks ago, I asked on Instagram what types of gift guides y’all would like to see this season.
And I got two different sets of answers: People want gift guides based on price. People also want gift guides based on specific interest.
Today, we’re talking about a specific interest: gourmet food gifts.
And in this gift guide, you’ll find all kinds of food products, not just food-adjacent ones. We’re talking crackers, cheeses, cured meats, sweet treats and a little bit of everything in between.
