He’s turing 57 and has a sweet tooth and the chocolate I have in mind is in the higher price range but I’m not sure if that is a little weird…

Any other suggestions?

He is 57 , he will love it.

The fact that his niece remembered his birthday is cool enough but if you get him something he likes you are the best.

My mom loves cooking and loves gourmet food, so for Christmas I was going to put together a gift basket of items from the Queen Creek Olive Mill located out here in Arizona (she lives in Ohio). I hear wonderful things about their regular Extra Virgin Olive Oil and also some of the flavored EVOO’s particularly the Blood Orange Olive Oil, so I wanted to get her each of those. I only have the budget for about 3 different bottles and I’m not sure what to do for the third. I’d like to get her some truffle oil but is that weird to give her 3 different olive oils and no balsamic vinegars? Should I substitute one of the other olive oils with a vinegar? To all the foodies and cooks out there: which combination would you like the best?

I’m adding on a few other goodies (tapenades and nuts) but it’s the oils that I’m not sure what to do about. Keep in mind this is an olive mill, so they are known for their olive oil, not necessarily their balsamic vinegars, but they do go hand in hand. They also have a pomegranate balsamic that looks interesting. What do you think?

Thanks in advance!

if its possible, give her a citrus flavored vinegar and then cut the citrus oil, sub it with the truffle oil. I did that for my friend one year, she loved it.

If you’re in the LA area, I remember this great fresh market. They made fresh kettle corn right in front of you! It was the most delicious thing, especially when warm!
