Foodology Holiday Gift Guide 2019: Under $30 Sustainable Gifts for Foodies

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

With Christmas season upon us, what is the best gift to get foodies? Here are a few of my favourite items in hopes of inspiring you. Of course purchasing a lot of gifts isn’t easy on the wallet, so I kept this list under $30. One of the biggest trends this year is sustainable and reusable dishware on the go.

Reusable Bubble Tea Cups

If you’re a fan of bubble tea and want to curb all the plastic waste, a reusable bubble tea cup and straw might be the answer. Most of them are made with a large mason jar and turned into a cup. There are many options available online or even with our friend – Missy Sippy Tumbler. DM them about our collaboration – “I’m a Bubble Tea Addict” cup for $30.

Sphere Ice Molds

A great way to impress guests and to elevate your cocktail game is with ice. You can use it many times to create the perfect ice sphere. It’s really great for Old Fashioned.

Bubble Tea Holder

Clearly, I have a love for bubble tea and the bubble tea holder is a game changer for those who hate carrying their ice cold drinks or just don’t have enough hands to hold their drink. During my recent trip to Taiwan, I saw this everywhere but not so much in North America.

Zeroll Ice Cream Scoop

I bought this years ago and I was so amazed that it makes the most perfect ice cream scoops. This aluminum ice cream scoop has heat conductive fluid sealed within the handle, so it makes scooping easier. It’s been used in commercial ice cream shops works great to get perfect round scoops. The downside is that it must be hand washed or else it gets ruined. My husband threw it into the dishwasher without knowing and couldn’t be salvaged. This is the one scoop you’ll need.

JOCO Reusable Coffee Cups

My friend and I ventured on the journey by finding the best reusable coffee cup on the market and we ended up buying JOCO Cups for their style and durability after evaluating a lot of other options. Especially with its glass design, it won’t taint the taste of your coffee. Love the designs too.

Reusable bees wax food wrap is pretty awesome and removes all the one time use plastic wrap for leftovers. I’m sure we all go through so much this holiday season, but we’ve found bees wax wrap to be very sustainable and works really well to keep your food fresh.

Metal Straws

You can probabaly find this at most malls or online, but with cities banning disposable plastic straws at eateries and cafes, metal straws are very trendy at the moment. We have a few and we did notice that there is a metal tang taste to it, so you have to wash it a few times to get rid of that. There are also silicone, pasta, bamboo, and many other straw options as well.
