No need to complicate things when looking to treat a foodie: just take a look at their kitchen, and see what’s missing. Here are 15 ideas to inspire you.

1 A French press

This is the best of the best for coffee lovers. French presses have been around for about a hundred years and still impress. Their elegant design and the special taste they give to coffee can’t leave people indifferent. If you haven’t tried it yourself, you should! Infused coffee is amazing, even more than filtered coffee, which is everywhere.

A good cheese board is a home essential, especially when we like to host people. This gift is therefore perfect for any foodie. We can find them on the internet at popular retailers or on websites such as Etsy for a more personalized look and, of course, they can be found in any good kitchen supply store. You may also want to look for them in art fairs, where you can find the most beautiful and unique ones.

Here’s another essential when we like inviting people over and/or when we like to do our part for the environment, instead of using paper napkins. Cloth napkins are easily cleaned in the washing machine and add a chic touch to any table.
