Five Star Gift Ideas

If your friend is a big fan of empanadas, why not create a special gift basket or set with all the ingredients and tools they would need to make their own at home? This personalized and thoughtful gift will show that you really pay attention to what they like and will allow them to indulge in their favorite food in the comfort of their own home.

To start, you could gather a pack of empanada wrappers, as well as a selection of fillings, such as ground beef or chicken, chopped vegetables, and spices. You could also add in a set of cookie cutter-like tools, specifically designed for making empanada shapes. Additionally, you could include a cookbook or recipe cards with different empanada recipes to inspire creativity and variation in their cooking.

For added presentation value, consider purchasing a unique basket or box to hold all the empanada-making supplies. You could also add small extras to the gift, like a handwritten note or a set of spices for future cooking.

Another idea is to bring your friend on a food tour that includes trying different types of empanadas from local restaurants or food trucks. This type of experience will allow them to explore and discover new types of empanadas they may not have tried before, while also enjoying the company of a friend.

Lastly, if your friend has a favorite restaurant that serves empanadas, consider giving them a gift card or certificate for a meal there. This gift allows them to indulge in their favorite empanadas, while also taking a break from cooking and enjoying a night out.

No matter what you choose, your friend is sure to appreciate the thoughtful and personal touch of a gift tailored to their interests and passions.

Or you can get her/him a star map with an important date you share.
