The Best Food-Oriented Gifts on Sale for October P

Amazon’s Prime Big Deals Days event has landed, and while Swifties are busy purchasing every version of The Life of a Showgirl, dealseekers are taking advantage of this major sales extravaganza to jump start on their holiday shopping. A smart move! To me, crossing off loved ones from my CVS-receipt-long gift list months in advance is actually actually romantic.

Since I’m holiday shopping for a very large family — many of whom are enthusiastic home cooks — Big Deals Day couldn’t have come at a better time. To help you get your shopping started, we already have a huge, ever-growing list of the best bargains on cool stuff right here, so make sure to check that out. There’s plenty there that could suit someone on your list, but if you need more kitchen gifts for the home cooks and big eaters in your life, or a thoughtful host or hostess gift to bring to your circuit of holiday parties, you came to the right place. We’ve got cookbooks from well-respected chefs, a tried-and-true condiment multi-pack for the flavormaxxers, wine accessories, display-worthy mixing bowls, and a ton more. That to-buy-for list is going down.

Still, while the holidays are all about giving, it’s my personal belief that gifts should be approached in the way Martin Scorsese approaches filmmaking: one for them, one for me. So there may be a few things you might need or want, and I’ll be the first one to say what you want to hear — go ahead, you deserve it!

Go over your list — check it twice even — then dig into ours below for all your money-saving holiday-shopping needs.
