Five Star Gift Ideas

For your wife who enjoys plant-based cooking and vegan recipes, there are several meaningful and thoughtful gift ideas that would cater to her interests:

1. Vegan Cookbook: Consider gifting her a beautifully designed cookbook with a wide variety of plant-based and vegan recipes. Look for cookbooks that focus on unique and creative dishes, such as "Oh She Glows" by Angela Liddon or "Thug Kitchen" by Michelle Davis and Matt Holloway. This gift would not only inspire her to try new recipes but also allow her to explore the endless possibilities of plant-based cooking.

2. Cooking Classes: If your wife is interested in expanding her culinary skills, enroll her in a cooking class specifically tailored to vegan cooking. This would provide her with a fun and educational experience, allowing her to learn new techniques, experiment with flavors, and interact with like-minded individuals. Whether it's a local cooking school or an online course, this gift will enhance her passion for plant-based cooking.

3. Premium Ingredients: Surprise your wife with a selection of high-quality ingredients that are commonly used in vegan cooking. This could include exotic spices, specialty oils, or unique plant-based proteins like tempeh or seitan. You could also consider a subscription to a monthly spice or specialty ingredient box, which would introduce her to new flavors and make cooking even more exciting.

4. Kitchen Gadgets: To make her cooking experience easier and more enjoyable, gift her with some useful kitchen gadgets. A powerful blender for smoothies and creating creamy sauces, a food processor for making homemade nut butters or vegan cheeses, or a spiralizer for creating vegetable "noodles" are all great options. These practical tools will enhance her abilities in the kitchen and encourage her to try new techniques.

5. Indoor Herb Garden: For someone passionate about plant-based cooking, having a fresh supply of herbs is invaluable. Consider gifting your wife an indoor herb garden kit, complete with pots, seeds, and soil. This would allow her to grow her own fresh herbs year-round, ensuring that she always has the perfect flavor-enhancing ingredients for her dishes.

6. Culinary Adventure: If you're looking for an experience-based gift, surprise your wife with a vegan food tour or a weekend getaway to a city known for its vegan cuisine. This would provide her with an opportunity to explore new plant-based restaurants, discover new flavors, and enjoy quality time together. You can research vegan-friendly destinations and plan an itinerary that includes both sightseeing and experiencing the local vegan culinary scene.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that shows your thoughtfulness and understanding of her passions. By choosing a gift that aligns with her love for plant-based cooking and vegan recipes, you are not only showing your support but also nurturing her passion for a lifestyle she holds dear.

Or you can get her a star map with the date of your first kiss.

David Dickason says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“Ordered a map of the stars above us when my wife and I realized that we wanted a friendship to turn into something more - gave it to her yesterday (Valentine's Day) and got a most enthusiastic response. We are best pleased!”
