Great Palentine's Gifts For Food Lovers

Here at Mob, we’re not one for subjecting you guys to something you don’t want to celebrate *cough* Valentine’s *cough,* which is why we’ve taken it upon ourselves to curate a guide filled with food-related gifts that you could present to your best mate instead, for Palentine’s. From novelty glassware to personalised recipe journals, here’s a pick of the best Palentine’s Day gifts for food lovers.

We’re so invested in celebrating Palentine’s Day this year, that we’re even hosting a supper club. See you there? Tickets here.

I was just as dubious as you are right now when I first discovered you could get Jaffa Cake flavoured gin. I know — it sounds insufferable. First impressions, you would probably think it’s going to taste overwhelmingly artificial, or that it wouldn’t actually taste like a Jaffa. Wrong. This gin threw me off the first time I tried it. It’s like a liquified version of eating a classic Jaffa Cake, and I can't think of a better time to try it than with your best pals this Palentine's.

I've been on the receiving end of this gift and let me tell you, I was over the moon. This little journal comes with sections for breakfast, lunch, dinner and treats as well as space to handwrite ratings, dietary requirements, hints, and tips for each recipe.

Novelty? Yes. Worth the purchase? Absolutely. The perfect vessel to debut your famed frozen marg, these glasses come in sets of 4 or 12 and make the ultimate conversation starter.

I can’t name one person that would turn their nose up at a tote bag. Especially one that’s embellished with the words “Always Carry Snacks.” A popular mantra amongst foodies. Described as being “big enough to carry a laptop, a pack of 12 crisps and a bottle of pop,” this tote is just as trendy as it is practical. Bonus points for the matching snack pouch that's available, too.

I gifted one of my best mates a personalised jar of Marmite last year, and I've never seen someone happier. And yes — they've kept the jar as a keepsake. Cute, right?

Side-by-side with my fixation on novelty glassware is my fixation on novelty jugs. Who doesn't love a standout jug? Your best mate does, that's for sure. And this slightly boujie pick from Anthropologie will no-doubt be right up their street. Available in two fruity variants, it's the perfect pick for that eccentric friend with a quirky taste in decor.

Hot sauce is a given when it comes to gift options for foodies. And trying more than one variation of sriracha, is pretty much a rite of passage.
