Consumable gifts always make great ideas for ANYONE on your list, so I’m constantly trying to find more ideas that can be used for hard-to-shop-for people.
Consumable ideas also work really well when you need a pick-me-up, thinking of you, or sympathy gift for long distances.
The best part about consumable gift ideas though is that they don’t need to hang around forever! Once they’re used up, they’re gone, so they’re also perfect as minimalist gift ideas, clutter-free gifts, or for people that you just don’t know very well.
So hopefully these consumable gifts help to finish up your shopping this year! Good luck and enjoy!

Fun Fireplace Starters and Accessories
I love the idea of fun fireplace starters as a consumable gift idea because it’s not one of the popular go-tos and it’s also a really great gift idea for men!
There are also a few different options of fireplace starters and accessories (that are all consumable!) that you can go with. Here are some of my favorites:
- Fireside Gift Basket (this is a mix of fun things!)
- Flame Color-Changing Pine Cones (these change the color of the fire!)
- Slow Burning Pine Cones in Wax
Bath Bombs
These bath bombs are one of my absolute favorite consumable gift ideas!
They’re perfect for men or women, but are definitely a classic for women that like to (or need to!) relax.
These specific bath bombs have amazing scents are are extremely soft on your skin.
They’re perfect on their own or to put in a self-care gift basket!
Stonewall Kitchen Gift Sets
Stonewall Kitchen makes amazing sauces, dips, jams, and spreads, as well as really fun mixes for things like cookies and breakfast fixings.
But best of all, they put together great gift sets that you can order and are totally ready to gift, including cute baskets or dishes.
Here are some of the best Stonewall Kitchen gift sets to use:
Homemade Dessert Mix Box
This delicious subscription club will deliver a new box every month that contains all the pre-measured ingredients you need to make a brand new dessert!
Every month is something new to try, so you don’t need to worry about repeats.
This is a really fun gift idea for anyone that loves to bake (or eat!) and is a great idea for couples or housewarming ideas.
Scented Candles
Scented candles are a classic consumable gift idea for all the right reasons!
These WILL get used up over time, they make life more enjoyable, and they don’t add extra calories (not that there’s anything wrong with THOSE kind of consumable gifts ;-)).
There are lots of scented candle ideas, but here are some of the most popular:
Man Crates
Man Crates are such a fun consumable gift idea, especially if you’re shopping for men. All of their gifts come delivered in a wooden box with a crowbar attached…and they get to open their gift in true manly-man style!
There are tons of options, but they have some great crates that are filled with consumable ideas. Here are some of the best:
Personalized Stationery
Personalized stationery is such a thoughtful and useful consumable gift idea, especially when you want something that isn’t food!
You can get really fancy letters or just casual notepads…but you can have them made with your gift recipient’s name on them, which makes them so much more thoughtful.
My favorite company to get personalized stationery (and journals!) from is Minted. They have really fun designs and great quality.
Soup Basket Delivery
This consumable gift idea is a great idea when you need to send something to someone that is going through a hard time or just needs a pick-me-up.
Spoonful of Comfort will send them a big mason jar of soup, bread rolls and cookies in nice packaging.
You have the option to add other items for comfort too!
One of the things I love about this company is that orders typically ship the day you place the order and the soup is guaranteed to arrive two days later. So this can work as a last-minute gift idea.
Bath Bevy
Bath Bevy is an amazing consumable gift idea…that keeps giving and giving!
Its a subscription box club that delivers a box of curated bath goodies either monthly or quarterly (you get to pick!). This is the perfect idea for someone that loves self-care and a great alternative to trying to create your own basket of items.
It also works great for long-distance friends and relatives because you can have it shipped directly to them (and they’ll be reminded of you all year!).
Alcohol Accessories
Alcohol is always a great consumable gift idea and these consumable alcohol accessories make it even more exciting!
I like to pair these with a corresponding bottle of alcohol, but they’re also great on their own.
Here are some of the best consumable alcohol accessories that make great gift ideas:
Fruit Bouquet
Fruit bouquets are a GREAT consumable gift idea, especially if you need something to be shipped (they can be delivered to someone’s house just like a bouquet of flowers!).
If you haven’t seen these before, you will be blown away – it’s a bouquet…of FRUIT!
It looks just like a bouquet of flowers though, so it’s a really amazing presentation.
And many come with extras like chocolate, which make these an even more fun gift idea.
Marinades and Sauces
Marinades and sauces are one of my favorite go-to consumable gift ideas, especially if you’re trying to come up with a gift idea for men.
This is perfect for people that like to grill (or even just eat!) meat.
There are some really fun options, some of which already come in a great set:
- Grill Sauce Caddy
- Truff Hot Sauce (this is a great brand to try for hot sauce aficionados!)
- Curried Mango Grille Sauce (this stuff is so good!)
Bird Seed Ornaments
These bird seed ornaments make great consumable gift ideas for anyone that has a yard or enjoys birds around!
What’s great about these is that they don’t last forever, so you don’t actually need to find a place for a birdhouse or a standing bird feeder.
This is a really fun gift idea for people that love to work outside in their yard!
Burger and Hot Dog Fixings
Another one of my favorite consumable gift ideas (especially for men!) is an assortment of burger and hot dog fixings!
Obviously, this is great for anyone that loves to grill and a fun idea right before a BBQ.
There are also a lot of really fun hot dog and burger gift ideas that you probably haven’t even heard of, so this will be a fun surprise.
Art & Crafts
If you’re looking for a consumable gift idea for kids, there’s no question that arts and crafts are a great place to start!
Here are some unique arts and crafts supplies for kids that they may not have yet!
Beer of the Month Club
Beer of the Month is SUCH a fun gift idea and is perfect as both a consumable gift and a long-distance gift.
Every month, your gift recipient will get a case of beer delivered right to their doorstep!
There are a few different beer clubs that you can join, but here are some of the best:
Wine of the Month Club
Just like Beer of the Month Club, Wine of the Month Club is a great idea…but for wine drinkers!
Every month, your gift recipient will get a pair (or more) of bottles of wine, all depending on what type you choose for them.
This is a consumable gift that you really can’t go wrong with.
And it can work year after year!
Foaming Hand Soap
Foaming hand soap is a perfect consumable gift for teachers, neighbors, or even as stocking stuffers!
Everyone needs hand soap, but really great hand soap is such a special treat to get!
An easy choice for really great hand soap (get the foaming kind!) is Bath and Body Works.
Their products are really great quality and they have dozens of scents to choose from.
Bath Bombs for Kids
Bath bombs are such great consumable gift ideas and they can make great gifts for kids too!
This brand makes bath bombs that have little surprises in the middle once the bath bomb dissolves.
This is a great way to make bath time more fun and is a nice gift idea when you don’t want to get (or give) more toys.
I hope these consumable gifts help make your shopping easy this year! Enjoy!
