Email your Internet-savvy foodie friend with the gift of a customizable Tastebook; set your wine-loving college roommate up with a Wine Enthusiast subscription. For the truly special oenophile, opt for Williams-Sonoma's new wine club - a gift to enjoy year-round.

Shopping for a couple who recently got married can be difficult because chances are, they've received a lot of kitchen gifts at their wedding. Look for original and creative gifts that wouldn't necessarily be on a registry. A couples cooking class allows them to learn something new together. A subscription to Food and Wine magazine will inspire them to get into the kitchen on a regular basis. Artisan, handcrafted chocolates are a welcome addition to an understocked pantry.

YumSugar Gift Guide: The Boss

When selecting a gift for your boss, start by thinking about their interests. Take my boss for example; let's call her Nancy.

Nancy loves sandwiches, Frappuccinos, and New Orleans. Naturally, I'll get her gifts that coincide with these themes.

She'll enjoy a salami gift set from San Francisco's newest house cured deli, Boccalone. A Starbucks gift card will give her the daily luxury of delicious coffee. A meat t-shirt is conversation-provoking and daring.

YumSugar Gift Guide: The Beginner Cook Co-Worker

Do you have a co-worker who also wants to learn how to cook? If so, encourage your teammate to cook more (and bring the best results into the office!). Start by drawing inspiration from Tyler Florence's top kitchen essentials.

According to TyFlo, your compadre needs a versatile pot. Next on the list should be an all-purpose cooking knife, with a sharpener thrown in to preserve its blade. Great Food Fast is a book that's simple to follow and produces tasty results.
