It goes beyond finding the “perfect” gift for special days and holidays to giving something s that reflects your affection or appreciation for the gifts you’ve received over time from that individual. Maybe you’re looking for a gift for that uncle who never missed an important event in your life. The one who cheered you along as you got married, had babies, suffered losses. In his 60s now, he buys what he needs and appreciates everything. Maybe your sister is the best sister in the world. She’s always there when you need a hug or a nudge. She’s crazy busy with her family and would just like one evening where someone else would take care of the dinner plans. Or you have a grandma who says exactly what she thinks at all times - for better and worse. Yet everyone loves and respects the wisdom she shares at every family gathering. Her needs are few but she loves it when you pop in on the weekend for a meal and a chat. Do these people sound familiar? There are many ways you can say, “thank you,” to these and other special people in your life. Food is probably the best gift you can give people who have everything because they will be able to eat it, share it and enjoy it with others. Whether close by or far away, a wide selection of food gift catalogs are available all year long to stir your curiosity and provide inspiration. For the women in your world who enjoy gourmet meals, they’ll love the delicious gift that comes straight to their front door from your heart. They’ll get a night off and still serve up phenomenal meals like chicken wellington, marinated king salmon filets, super-trimmed filet mignon and more. And what about that special uncle in your life? Well, beef is still tops with men for food gifts and there’s a cornucopia of gourmet meals just a short click away. If you’re still not sure, you can always choose a gift certificate and let your loved one pick a gift that will be a perfect reminder of just how much you care about them. So in the next few weeks and months when it’s time to think about giving that perfect gift to someone who has everything, think food. It’s a winner every time.
