7 Unusual and Delicious Gifts You Can Make For Beef Lovers
Does it sometimes seem like your Christmas gift list grows, and grows? I love giving gifts. So that’s part of my issue…. It’s one of my love languages. I often go overboard, and then look at the list and think…I could put a downpayment on a car for what I would spend here. Ha! So, I have to pull myself back and separate from the emotion a bit. Yep, literally.
Making some of the gifts we give is a good balance for me. I get to do what I love, but I can do it without breaking the bank. Here’s some unique ideas for you if you’re thinking along the same lines. Of course, I put a beef spin on it, ‘cause that’s what we do here, but you do what works for you. Happy creating friends!

Jerky gift basket
Try making a few flavors of beef jerky as a gift and you’ll probably hit the jackpot and make your family happy all at the same time. It’s relatively easy and relatively cheap (vs. whatever techno gadget you were contemplating). Try a seasonal flavor like the Cranberry Jerky Recipe I found. How fun is that!
Summer Sausage
Summer Sausage is a crowd favorite. It’s so yummy, travels well, can have so many unique spins, and it lasts a long time. Plus it can be used for special occasions and cheese platters. Give it with a variety of cheeses and some wine for the elaborate over the top gift.
Meat Sticks
Meat Sticks hold a fond place in my heart. They are delicious, and convenient, and they can be great snacks for certain diets like Keto, low carb, and Atkins. Plus, they are so expensive in the store. There are many spice packs, and flavor varieties so do a little digging and have fun creating something amazing!

Canned Stew or Chili
You might be thinking I’m crazy. Why would anybody want canned goods as a gift? Listen, if you are a good cook. People want your cooking. And all they have to do is heat it up!?!? Win! Make the recipe special for gifting, and make a large batch so your family can enjoy it down the road too. There’s so many ideas out there, I’ve listed just a few below to get you started thinking.
Frozen Casseroles to gift to busy families
I always have intentions of making extra casseroles when I cook and keeping them in the freezer for future busy days and nights. I haven’t mastered the skill of remembering to do it yet….but hey, I’m gonna keep trying because it’s the most brilliant idea ever. Any busy family in your life will love this gift. Make their day. Again, there’s a few thousand options here, but I chose a few to get you started.
Your Own BBQ Sauce or Steak Sauce to Share
This is a fun way to share your creative side if you love to BBQ or grill. There are a lot of recipes you could find, but I suggest doing something creative like the Cranberry Sauce recipe I found on Oprah’s site. It sounds incredible. You could do so much with a sauce like this; marinate, use it with beef or chicken or turkey, lunch meat even.

Spice Rub for Roasts or Steaks
And if you’re not really up for making sauces, what about a rub that your friends can use on meat. If you’re like me probably have one you love, or modify on a regular basis. I found an amazing one this fall that I will share below. But again, there’s SO many options. Have fun experimenting and looking around.
