There’s nothing worse than trying to find a gift for someone and not knowing what to get them.

To take the guesswork out of gift buying, we’ve found practical and helpful gifts for any occasion, sorted by theme to help find everything you are looking for.

Top 5 “Food Preservation” Gifts

1) Adjustable Storage Containers Pro - Set of 4
The airtight food storage container from Botto adjusts to take up just as much space as it needs, maximizing your cabinet and pantry storage and maintaining the freshness of dry foods. Coffee, tea, herbs, dried fruit and more will last longer thanks to the patented, one-way air valve and UV-blocking design. As you press down and customize the size, excess air comes out—and stays out—with one satisfying swoosh. Made with BPA- and phthalate-free, FDA-grade, food-safe materials.

2) Multi-Purpose Silicone Lid Cover - XL Single (9"-12" D)
This stretchy, flexible bowl cover solves the lost (or melted) lid problem, and is designed to be a kitchen multi-tasker, too. Its microwave- and oven-safe design comes in various sizes to cover bowls, plates, or cups. Use it as a pot holder, or a non-skid surface during food prep. It’s food-safe and BPA-free and, to keep track of the contents, you can label it with a dry erase marker.

3) Glass & Silicone Food Storage Container
Heat, serve, freeze, and transport in these toxin-free, reusable containers that combine the best of glass and plastic storage containers. Shatter- and heat-resistant borosilicate glass is encased in a protective, multifunctional silicone sleeve. It forms an air cushion that helps protect the glass if you drop it. The dual seal lid forms an almost airtight lock over the glass and the sleeve. To help identify what’s inside, write on the silicone with a dry erase marker, then simply wash it off.

4) Guacamole Preservation Container
Usually guac won’t last more than a day without browning. But this guacamole container creates an airtight seal that keeps oxygen out, so it stays green and fresh for days. (It’s great for hummus, salsa, and tzatziki, too.) Push the the container’s base to remove the air, which raises the guac to the top. The push feature comes in handy as you start enjoying the dip—give a press and it lifts the contents to the top and avoids the need to scrape dip off the sides.

5) Rambler Pizza Oven, Grill & Fire Pit
Hot Ash Stove: Rambler & Rover Accessories
