Gifts for foodies and treats for your sweet 

A big occasion, or a wet Wednesday, can merit something special to eat or drink. Even the healthiest of us can benefit from something a little special every now and then (we’re with The Food Doctor, we try to be good 80% of the time, which leaves an interesting 20% to experiment with). So here are some unusual gifts that won't last long but be highly appreciated during the time it takes them to disappear.
