Say what you want about gift cards being lazy gifts, but personally, they’re one of my favorite things to receive. The truth is, if you tailor the card to a specific person’s interests, there’s no chance that they won’t love it. If you have one or more people on your shopping list who enjoy cooking, eating, or keeping their kitchen in tip-top shape, we have just the list for them. Below, you’ll find 15 of the best gift cards for foodies and home cooks, ranging from a variety of retailers for cookware, groceries, online experiences, and more. Some of them are from splurgy brands, so if your loved one has been holding off on buying a new Le Creuset Dutch oven because of the expensive price tag, a gift card can help them get what they’ve been wanting.
All of the brands below are editor-tested and -loved, so we have no doubt that your giftee is going to love their offerings. Of course, gift cards are also quick and easy to mail if the recipient lives far from you; a lot of the options below are also available as digital gift cards. Have a browse to determine which one would suit your giftee best, and maybe bookmark a few others for future reference.
