Twelve Foodie Days of Christmas: Day 4 – For the Mini Foodies
Kids might not have the most discerning tastes (we all know what they can put into their mouths), but they are the toughest critics, aren’t they? To ensure that your gift isn’t tossed across the room or cause for a meltdown, check out our foodie picks for the little Gordon Ramsay in your life. It’s Day 4 of our Twelve Days of Foodie Gifts and we’re ensuring that mini me enjoys chowing down this holiday just as much as you do.
Shaped Shortbread @ Mary Macleod’s ($3.00-$4.00)
The young and the young at heart can agree that everything tastes better when it’s shaped like a snowman. But the fun doesn’t stop there! Mary Macleod’s is making all sorts of seasonal shortbreads this holiday season. Trees, angels, and bears OH MY! They may look too cute to eat, but they taste even better.
Sirop de Barbapapa @ Mercantile ($14.99)
Juice boxes may complete a lunchbox, but the dinner table calls for something more refined. These adorable glass bottles are filled with natural soda meaning they’ll love the character and you’ll love the ingredient list. Buy a few for the kid’s table and you’ve not only provided drink, but the makings of some live theatre entertainment. Just try to remember everyone’s favorite colors so there’s no additional screaming. Try cotton candy, grenadine, and marshmallow flavors!
Guess How Much I Love You Ornaments @ Mercantile ($7.99)
It never fails, at least one precious glass ornament will be shattered by Christmas’ end. Luckily, this adorable ornament is meant to be cracked open! Inside it’s wonderfully animated exterior is a collection of little chocolates. It’s like a Christmas piñata when you think about it. Hang a few on the tree and let the little ones very carefully select their favorite one. Then, try explaining how Santa makes chocolate to them.
