One of the biggest corners of TikTok is FoodTok, where you’ll find everything from private chefs doing Erewhon hauls worth thousands of dollars, to tradwives making bubblegum from scratch, and wholesome home chefs sharing their favourite recipes. When it comes to FoodTok creators, everyone has a particular favourite that also matches their overall vibe. She always sends Meredith Hayden videos? Your friend probably loves to host dinner parties with perfectly arranged flowers. Oh, they consider themselves the new Emily Mariko? Bet they have a pantry so organised it’d put Khloe Kardashian to shame. And the people who love Chuck and Haley? No doubt the most down-to-Earth people ever. Sure, we follow FoodTokkers for the recipes, but it’s also about the personalities of the people making the meals and inviting us into their lives.  

So if there’s someone you’re Christmas shopping for, knowing who they love on Foodtok can be super helpful. In this gift guide, we’re looking at what you should get the foodie or homemaker in your life, based on their favourite FoodTok creator. 

If Wishbone Kitchen is always on their FYP  

Maison Balzac Le Jardin Goblets, $129 at Incu 

With her vibrant personality and moreish recipes, Meredith Hayden went from being a private chef working for the one percent in the Hamptons to being able to buy her own place there. If you’ve got a friend who’s obsessed with her, they’re probably as into a floral arrangement as her, making these Maison Balzac tulip goblets a perfect gift.  

They always bring up Emily Mariko  

Food Storage Container, $10.95 at Muji 

She originally went viral for her affordable and foolproof take on the traditional salmon rice dish, but Mariko has proven her longevity with a huge base of fans. A hallmark of her videos is her prep, neatly organising her farmers market haul into containers to make cooking a cinch. No doubt, your friend is just as fastidious, so will appreciate this food container from Muji.  

They love Chuck & Haley’s Friday Night Dinners 

Maison Balzac Olive Oil Bottle, $139 at Incu 

Got a friend who loves watching Chuck and Haley cook their weekly Friday night dinner? They probably also enjoy giving the recipes a go themselves, so gifting them this stunning olive oil bottle will give them a thrill each time they reach for it.  

If Cripandip is their go-to London creator  

KitchenAid 9 Cup Food Processor, $299 at JB Hi-Fi 

Known for her ‘Carbs before a night out are essential’ series, Madi is always making her own sauces and yes, dips, that look as pretty as they seem delicious. If you have someone in your life who is always sending you her videos, they’ll use this KitchenAid to death.  

Tini is they’re number one account  

KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer, $749 at JB Hi-Fi 

Counting Gordon Ramsay as one of her fans, Tini is one of the most delightful people on TikTok. She’s great for lots of different kinds of meals, but she really loves to bake. If you have a loved one who is a Tini-head, they’ll love this classic stand mixer for years to come.  

If Molly Baz is their forever backyard barbecue inspo 

Gorman Speechless Placemat Set, $55 at Gorman, Lower Ground  

Her soirées are low fuss and lots of fun, and from food to the decor, minimalism is never on the agenda. If your giftee is always taking their cues from Molly Baz, get them these vibrant abstract-ish tract-ish placemats from Gorman.
