It is my pleasure to share with you some great gift ideas. While this post is written with sponsorship from Giving Assistant, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

November kick starts gift giving season so I am already starting my lists of gift ideas. From hostess gifts during Thanksgiving and subsequent holiday parties to Christmas presents, it can be difficult to come up with creative ideas for everyone on your list. To help you get inspired, I am sharing a few great gift ideas for the food and wine lover on your list.

With my growing gift list each year, I am always looking for creative and fun gift ideas but also ways to save a little money with my shopping as well. The number of people in need grows every year too so I am also look for ways I can give back or help charitable causes. That is the basis behind Giving Assistant. Giving Assistant is a loyalty program that helps you earn cash back on your purchases, offers money savings coupons AND makes it effortless to give to charity. The site is so easy to use too. You simply login and then click over to your favorite store from their site to do your shopping {be sure to check out any coupon offerings too}. The cash back you earn will be credited to your Giving Assistant account. You can then select your favorite charity to donate any percentage of your cash back too. Giving Assistant also has a partnership with Feeding America so each purchase helps put food on the table of a family in need! Who knew you could do so much good just by shopping?!

Here are a few great gift ideas for food and wine lovers from stores that participate in Giving Assistant:

Gourmet Cheese of the Month Club

Almost every food lover I know LOVES cheese. The Gourmet Cheese of the Month Club allows you to send shipments of 3 handpicked artisanal cheese selections each month. The club is great because you can send as few as 2 shipments so the cost isn’t extremely high or send a full year as an extra special gift.

Harry and David

Harry and David is known for their amazing gift baskets and gift boxes. Each is filled with an assortment of things like fresh fruit, delicious chocolates and other fine food items. They also offer monthly clubs if you are looking for a reoccurring gift!

Pottery Barn Cheese Board

As much as food lovers love food, they love to share food! That means something like a wooden cheeseboard from Pottery Barn would make a fabulous gift. They can serve a traditional cheese platter or use for other small bite appetizers.

World Market Glasses

Cost Plus World Market is known for its eclectic finds in housewares, food and wine! Grab some of their unique wine or bar glasses and pair it with a fun wine or beer find for the perfect easy gift.

WineTasting.com Wine or Membership

As a wine lover, one of my favorite things is getting to taste new wines. WineTasting.com gives you access to over 500 wines. They also offer a selection of wine club memberships too for the gift that keeps giving.

No matter what gift you choose for the food and wine lover in your life, be sure to visit Giving Assistant before you shop to earn cash back and help some great charitable causes too!
