HG's Holiday Gift Guide 2015

Dec 4 2015
There are plenty of shopping days left in December, but do you really want to brave the mall this time of year? We've got some fun gift finds for everyone on your list, and you can order 'em all from the comfort of your couch. Grab your wallet and fuzzy slippers... It's holiday shopping time!

For the chocolate lovers

Topperfino

These pretty chocolate disks are the perfect stocking stuffer. How do they work? Just lay one of the patterned circles over a cup of coffee (or hot chocolate), and prepare to enjoy a beautifully delicious beverage! They come in dark chocolate, caramel, French vanilla, and hazelnut varieties. Did we mention each one has just 25 calories? Bonus: Right now, get any two 10-count boxes for $24.98, plus free shipping. (Ends 12/25/15.) Sweet deal.

For the coffee fiends and animal enthusiasts

Grounds & Hounds Coffee

This organic, fair-trade java comes from some dog-loving do-gooders, and it has a lot going for it: Fantastic taste, adorable names (like Alpha Blend and Paper & Slippers Blend!), and a charitable twist: 20 percent of all proceeds go to the dog rescue partner nearest you. Every pound saves a hound! Might we recommend some Morning Walk Breakfast Blend for your pooch-loving cousin?

For the foodie-kitsch aficionados

Donut Pillows

There's something about the look of a pink frosted donut with sprinkles that makes people happy. And if that donut is over a foot wide and calorie-free? Even better! Give your pal this pillow, and print out some HG donut recipes to go with it. Or if your friend's culinary preferences lie elsewhere, you can choose from cookiestacos, burgers, and more.

For stylish yet busy friends

Super-Cute Crock Pot

Let's face it: We often don't have the time (or energy) to cook up a multi-course dinner. One of the best work-arounds is the set-it-and-forget-it convenience of a slow cooker. But who says that something useful can't also be very cute? Most of the crocks out there are plain stainless steel, but this one has a bit more flair. We've also spotted some slow cookers with an extra pop of color; this shiny purple one tops the list!

For your best buddy who's shaping up

FitBit Zip

This life-changing gadget is less expensive than you might think, and it's perfect for someone who's expressed interest in taking care of their health in 2016. The Fitbit Zip tracks steps walked, distance covered, calories burned, and more. Plus, it comes in cute colors, syncs with your smartphone, and fits in your pocket. So if you wanna go all out to help your pal, this FitBit will solidify your BFF status.

For those dreaming of warmer weather

BigMouth Inc Pool Floats

While it might seem a tad silly to buy them in December, these food-inspired pool accessories are too fun to leave out of our gift guide! We're obsessed with these adorable food-centric inflatables -- Lisa (HG herself) has basically all of them. And who among us doesn't want to lounge on a massive ice cream sandwich? We rest our case.

For those who follow their noses

Our Own Candle Company Sassy Scented Mason Jar Candles

The scent names here are silly and adorable, and these candles are seriously yummy smelling! Choose from Hot Buns (Cinnamon), Smell My Nuts (Banana Nut Bread/Toasted Coconut/Hazelnut), and Mmmm... Nice Melons (Watermelon/Cantaloupe/Honeydew Melon). After letting the nutty one burn for a while, all of Hungryland was transformed with the scent of baked goodies... and that's without anything cooking in the test kitchen! Plus, the brand's got some serious holiday discounts happening. Order now!

And finally, for everyone

Hungry Girl Books

At this point in HG history, there truly is something for everyone in our library. Say your friend is a beginner cook who doesn't want anything too daunting -- HG 1-2-3 is the perfect gift. If your pal's life revolves around sweets, HG 200 Under 200: Just Desserts is the book for them. For the cocktail queen, it's Hungry Girl Happy Hour all the way. Are they the super fit 'n healthy type, looking to support their lifestyle? They'll love The HG Diet Cookbook and its carefully balanced and crazy-delicious meals. And, of course, there's HUNGRY GIRL TO THE MAX, the largest and in charge-est of all HG books! Browse around online, and find the right books (for the right prices); our books are also found pretty much anywhere books are sold, in case you want to flip through 'em first. Happy HG-ing!

Chew on this:

Ah, it appears to be December 4th, National Cookie Day. Don't mind us -- we'll just be chewing soft peanut butter cookies studded with M&Ms.
