"They've been to the Michelin-starred restaurant. They're on first-name basis with the city's top chefs. They know about the cool underground spots seemingly before they've even opened. What then, could you possibly buy the on-the-pulse food fanatic that they haven't already thought of themself?"

"Often, the best tack is to be straightforward: gift luxurious versions of their go-to comfort foods, be it a bumper box of their favorite cookies or designer set of tea.
