Ready or not, here the holidays come. If listlessly strolling store aisles in search of the perfect gift isn't totally your thing, we've got you covered with these nailed-it gifts for every type of foodie on your list.

For the Ice Cream Lover: Sure, you could just phone it in and give them their favorite pint of ice cream (especially if you threw in the spoon), but for a grand slam, give them a frozen treat of their own creation. Thanks to the   Zoku Ice Cream Maker ($25.95), ice-cream eaters can customize their own mix-ins and have a bowl in hand in just 10 minutes.

For the Wannabe Molecular Gastronomist: It may be one of the more expensive gifts on our list, but food-science nerds know that you can't put a price tag on culinary creativity. Case in point: this  Sous-Vide Immersion Circulator ($199.95), which can transform any pot of water into a sous-vide water bath to cook everything from eggs to steaks with one-the-dot precision.

For the Chocolate Lover: Rather than nabbing your chocoholic friends a single-origin bar and calling it a day, sate their cravings with a more warming genre of chocolatey treats:  Hot Chocolate on a Stick ($25). From there, your favorite chocolate lover can swirl the blocks of gourmet chocolate into steaming milk for their hot cocoa dreams to come true.

For the Breakfast-for-Every Meal Friend: Buddy the Elf isn't the only one who counts syrup as a major food group. If you know someone who can't get through breakfast without a heaping helping of maple syrup, bring on the  Maple Sugar Cube ($23). Just like a trusty block of Parmesan, this solid hunk of Grade B syrup is ready to be grated over everything from oatmeal to roasted vegetables for a pure sprinkling of autumnal sweetness.

For the Beer Aficionado: Beer takes a lot of knocks as the centerpiece of keg parties and the cause of beer bellies, so give it some love with the  Complete Beer Tasting Kit ($13). Perfect for the drinker who lavishes praise on pilsners like they would fine Russian literature or Italian sonnets, this kit is a surefire path to a world beyond kegstands.

For the Hot-Sauce-on-Everything Freak: We all have a friend who's love of hot sauce borders on obsession. This year, give these special people and their numbed taste buds a  Sriracha Print ($17.50) glorifying the rooster-decked red bottle for all to see. Pair it with a few sriracha-spiced recipes to really fire things up.
