To take the guesswork out of gift buying, we’ve found practical and helpful gifts for any occasion, sorted by theme to help find everything you are looking for.

Top 5 “Food Preservation” Gifts

1) Reusable Bag Set - 10 Pack
BagPodz is a reusable bag set that's sturdy and easily organized so you'll always have them on hand. The bags come neatly packed in a compact pod with a clip that you can attach to a shopping cart. At checkout, just unzip and pull out as many bags as you need. A second drawstring opening on the end lets you easily stuff them back into the pod.

2) Herb Saver Keeper
Reap what you grow with an herb saver-keeper. Tie it on like an apron to easily gather fresh herbs from the garden. Three pockets keep greenery organized and prevent aromas and flavors from mingling. When it’s time to store, dampen the cloth bag, roll it up, and pop it in the fridge to keep herbs fresh for longer.

3) Multi-Use Food Tongs
This one-handed tool allows you to whisk, grab, and serve with ease. Turn over any shape of food, remove it from boiling water or hot oil, or plate your final dish. Folds flat and locks for easy storage.

4) Artisanal Caramels
The Sweet Jules specialty caramels are made with natural ingredients, nothing artificial. From Minneapolis brewed Town Hall Scotch Ale in the Beer & Pretzel caramel to the chocolate sourced in Switzerland for the Dark Chocolate Pecan, the two sisters have selected special flavorings and created their caramels for the discriminating palate. Truly an artisan product.

5) Fast-Prep Kitchen Slicer
This kitchen slicer tool helps make quicker work of cutting awkwardly-shaped foods like cherry tomatoes, grapes, and olives. It’s Made in the USA and gives you a better grip while slicing through foods by holding them in place. It even works on chicken breasts and shrimp.
