Holiday Gift Guide Post #1 – The Foodie

Hello Yak fans! This week we were inspired by the release of the new iPhone4S to start a holiday gift-giving guide that covers all of your weird and wonderful relatives. For each post we’ll choose a category of gift recipient, and recommend both the perfect hat and the perfect gadget for this year’s holiday gift list.
For our first post we’re tackling the foodie. The foodie is the man or woman in your life who not only loves to eat (who doesn’t love to eat?) but also loves to cook, experiment, and play with food and foodie gadgets. I have to admit, I’m kind of a foodie myself – but I have a real aversion to “foodie gadgets.” Ninety-nine percent of them are completely pointless. I mean really, a spiral vegetable cutter? How often do you need to cut your carrots into slinkies?
However, despite the clutter of useless kitchen tools masquerading as “foodie gifts,” I’ve managed to find two cool kitchen gadgets that are worthy of your favorite chef.
  1. The Butter Cutter
I absolutely love this gadget. One of my biggest kitchen pet peeves is a melted, messy butter dish – and the Butter Cutter eliminates this problem by slicing individual pats of butter with one easy click. Any true foodie (or kitchen-cleaning mom) will treasure this clever contraption.

  1. The Bruce Balcony Grill
The Bruce Balcony Grill is the perfect present for all of your apartment-dwelling foodie friends. It’s a great space saver and looks just like a flower box. You can hook it onto a terrace or railing and enjoy a nice summer BBQ without any of the itchy ants and other grass-dwelling creepy crawlies. Bon Appétit!

And last but not least, every foodie needs a piece of stylish headwear for all of those fall trips to the farmer’s market. We like the Earflap Wool Hat with Tassels for its casual, earthy look – perfect for apple picking and pie making! You can get a 25% discount on every purchase until October 31st, use the promotion code: YAK1011 at the check out.
