"My Jack O'Lantern's grin is still fresh, and yet my Instagram ads have already started overflowing with advent calendars and early-bird holiday deals for food-lovers. As an over-planner and Eater's dedicated town crier for all things shopping-related, I'm actually very here for it. At this big age, I like to get as much done ahead of time to give the cool people in my life equally cool presents that feel thoughtful and curated."
"My goal, in putting together this particular gift guide, [clears throat in Ratatouille], is to find the stuff that's worth shopping ahead for - the tools that will last, pantry finds that will dazzle, and (actually) aesthetic air fryers. Consider the following a lovingly curated holiday cheat-sheet to the coolest gifts for food-lovers that are sure to sell out fast."
"Last week, we dedicated an entire Eater article to the best 2025 food- and drink-themed advent calendars, from luxurious, detailed boxes of artisanal chocolates to spice blend calendars from Penzeys and even Bonne Maman advent calendars filled with tiny jars of limited-edition preserves). Keep in mind that these stunners often sell out quickly, and that early bird shoppers can sometimes find sweet discounts, like $30 off this Onyx coffee advent calendar (the perfect gift for the bachelor uncle in your life)."
Early holiday shopping for food-lovers centers on durable tools, pantry delights, and design-forward appliances that feel thoughtful and curated. Food- and drink-themed advent calendars range from artisanal chocolate boxes to spice-blend and miniature-preserve calendars, and often sell out quickly. Early-bird shoppers can find discounts, for example $30 off an Onyx coffee advent calendar. Gift ideas include Nancy Silverton-designed clogs and whimsical Swedish gummy candy for a nostalgic parent. Limited re-releases bring midcentury-modern dinnerware back through collaborations like Big Night with the Russel Wright Design Center and Bauer Pottery. Buying ahead secures unique, lasting presents.
