In this list, we bring you Christmas gift ideas that are perfect for all types of foodies, from the person with a culinary background to the one who loves to eat well but prefers to leave the cooking to others.
1- For the foodie who loves discoveries
The Northern Initiation gift box
This box set includes a poster created by food illustrator Laucolo as well as each of the nine herbs illustrated on it. Since the poster is also informative, with flavor pairings, recipe ideas and cooking methods for each herb, it is the ideal starting point for an exploration of the boreal terroir.
2- For the foodie who loves cocktails
A duo of homemade boreal syrups
What's better than a handmade gift that offers taste discoveries to boot? We offer you two recipes for simple yet delicious boreal syrups: our wild rose and local honey syrup and our sweetfern catkins syrup. Offered in pretty bottles garnished with a ribbon and a small fir branch, these local elixirs will delight the mixology enthusiast in your life.

5- For the foodie who prefers experiences to physical gifts
A day of cooking together
Sometimes the best gift is taking the time and creating memories. What could be better than a day of shared cooking where you can enjoy the fruits of your labor?
