Get out your holiday list and take a few notes. We rounded up some of the most luxurious gifts for foodies across several price ranges — worth every penny.
Meyer Lemon Tree
Price: $65
When life gives you lemons, your very own lemon tree cannot be far behind. According to the Via Citrus website, the Meyer Lemon was brought to the United States by Frank Nicholas Meyer after his travels to China in 1908. Since then, Meyer Lemons have become a favorite of renowned chefs throughout the world and are now available in a one-gallon container to purchase and grow from home.
Having a lemon tree in your home is a fantastic way to grow your own lemons in a warm climate and enjoy the fragrant scent throughout the winter months. Clusters of white flowers with a purple base also grow on this petit tree with a fragrant scent. Keep in mind, however: It can take up to six months for these lemons to fully ripen.
