Present packaging methods

Finding a good surprise is not the most important thing. It is important to think about original packaging, which can make your gift even more unusual and touching.

• You can use standard and gift bags from the store. This option is suitable if the relationship between the donor and the birthday boy is not very close.
• The packaging is easy to do with your own hands. This solution will not only save money, but also make the gift unique and interesting. To do this, you can use cardboard, various available materials, paper, flowers, mesh, newspapers, all kinds of decorations, ribbons, fabric, old postcards and much more.

Gifts for culinary lovers will become individual if you attach a handmade one to them. You can briefly put friendly wishes or a small creative inscription on it.

On ordinary paper packaging you can glue small decorations available in the house - natural materials, beads, beautiful applique.

And the ribbons don’t have to be tied in the traditional way; it’s better to use your imagination. The main thing is to get neat, attractive packaging as a result, so that the recipient appreciates the efforts of the donor, and does not think that they are simply skimping on him.

A gift related to cooking can be unusual, useful and memorable if you choose it correctly and package it beautifully.

Chef's knife

A sharp chef's knife is a chef's main working tool. Accordingly, the main gift. If your home cook already has one, you can choose a more specific one, for example, a bread one. Or the same “chef’s knife”, but of a different design.

Sous vide

Sous vide is a cooking technique in which vacuum-packed food is placed in a water bath. The process takes longer than other cooking methods, but the cooking temperature is much lower, allowing precise control over how well the food is cooked. An additional advantage of sous vide is that the product is cooked evenly and does not come into contact with the environment: this allows you to preserve its taste, aroma and juiciness.

Today, sous vide is used in the kitchen of almost every restaurant, and homemade options are appearing in stores, the prices of which are increasingly falling over time.

Brutal wooden dishes

In the photo, such a board will look completely different than Sawdustgoods. These gifts cannot replace each other, they are completely different.

Magazines

Gaher, Toilet Paper, Lucky Peach

A beautiful food magazine, no matter what language the texts in it are written in, can inspire visual experiments. We recommend our favorites: with photographs of people who subtly feel the beauty of food - Gaher; with photographs at the intersection of contemporary art and gastronomy - Toilet Paper; with crazy illustrations - Lucky Peach. It is very difficult to buy them in Moscow; it is easier to order them abroad. But if the days are counting, it’s worth visiting the store at the Crabs are Coming cafe - “Tochka”. There are always a couple of options there. Zara Home has similar ones, but two towels there cost 799 rubles.

For original ones, you can go to Tsvetnoy. There, on the minus first floor, the Depst store sells handmade towels Two Cups of Tea. Other design options can also be found at Zara Home or Cook House.

The process of selecting a gift is sometimes not at all simple, taking a lot of time and effort. It is especially difficult to choose a gift for those who have everything, or those with whom you do not know very well. Edible gifts are a win-win option in such cases. Not everyone plays chess, loves ballet or assembles tea sets. But everyone needs food. Therefore, an edible gift will come in handy.

Grocery baskets

There can be many options for edible gifts - as much as your imagination allows. You can put together a gift set from different products yourself, or you can purchase one of the ready-made gift baskets. Gift baskets with edibles are sold in large supermarkets, small luxury stores and one-stop shops (for example, a cheese shop).

Food baskets are collected for both women, men and children. The basket may contain several types of the same product, or different dishes. The most common food basket options:

If you are lost and don’t know which products to choose as a gift, you can give a gift certificate to one of the supermarkets or farm produce stores.

Edible bouquets

When choosing a gift for a woman, pay attention to edible bouquets. These are real works of art, looking like bouquets of flowers, but consisting of a variety of goodies. Edible bouquets come in different types:

1. Bouquet of fruits. Made entirely of fruits and berries, this bouquet is completely edible. The berries can be covered in chocolate. Fruits are sometimes combined with vegetables of suitable color and size.
2. Bouquet of flowers and fruits. Florists also add fruits to flower arrangements. This way the bouquet takes on an original look, and you can snack on fruit when the birthday boy gets hungry.
3. Sweet bouquets. They are made from paper, various decorative elements and sweets.

If you want to give a fruit bouquet, choose one that is made from whole fruit. After all, unlike sliced ​​ones, they retain their appearance longer and do not deteriorate.

Unusual options for edible gifts

An interesting option for an edible gift is handmade meat and fish cakes. This culinary innovation is a cake made from bread crusts soaked in sauces, with pate and other fillings. This cake is covered and decorated with either hams, sausages and vegetables, or fish, seafood and vegetables.

It is appropriate for men to give a bouquet “to go with beer”: salted fish, smoked cheese, pretzels, sausages and nuts. This “bouquet” will appeal to lovers of a foamy drink with a sense of humor. Another option for a man’s bouquet with goodies is a composition consisting of various sausages, cheeses, peppers and a strong alcoholic drink.

Another unusual tasty gift is a congratulation poster with various delicacies successfully included in the text of the congratulation. Show your imagination, make inscriptions, cut out quotes and pictures. Glue the goodies onto the poster using double-sided tape, placing them according to their meaning between the phrases. For example, “may your life be bright like M&Ms and heavenly like Bounty.” Just instead of the names of chocolates, glue the sweets in the packaging onto the poster. Such a poster-card will be unique and will delight the birthday boy.

Useful gifts

Food can be not only tasty, but also healthy. If you are looking for a gift for a person who is a supporter of a healthy diet and monitors their weight and health, pay attention to the following options:

1. Set of olive oil and olives. Make a gift using salad oil, frying oil, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, wine vinegar and balsamic vinegar.
2. Another oil gift is a set of different cold-pressed oils. It will also delight followers of a healthy lifestyle and everything natural.

4. Herbal infusions. A person who loves to drink herbal teas will appreciate a beautifully designed set of the most useful herbs for any occasion. There you can place collections of fireweed, linden, oregano, mint and other aromatic and healthy herbs. Complete this gift with a jar of natural honey.

It is worth giving to those people who really follow a healthy lifestyle.
