But unlike our past Holiday Gift Guides, Foodiggity now has a little shop of its own, and we have very cool gifts available for almost anyone on your list. You’re welcome.

Gingerbread Yoga Men
Regular gingerbread men can be so boring — totally inflexable, always in the corpse position. Add some Om to your holidays, with Gingerbread Yoga Cookies by Patti of Baked Ideas. Whip up a batch of downward facing dough using Patti’s cookie cutters, or order a batch of already-made yogi.

Hanukkah Candy Canes
This year, you don’t have to be a gentile to get in on the candy cane action. Brought to us by Archie McPhee, Hanukkah Candy Canes are here to bring some artificially-flavored joy to our Jewish friends. Did anyone check if these were kosher? Oy vey.

The Gingerbread Typewriter
Remember typewriters? Those were crazy. And although they laid the groundwork for our wireless and smartphone keyboards, they just don’t get the respect they deserve. Enter the Gingerbread Typewriter, created by Patti from Baked Ideas. Completely edible, the tribute to antiquated word processing was created as part of a gingerbread display to benefit City Harvest — currently on view for a month at the Parker Meridien Hotel in NYC.

Give Your ‘Friends’ The Gift of Frank The Fruitcake
With fruitcakes no longer appropriate for the digital age, consider passing off a loaf of Frank The Fruitcake to your ‘friends’.
Made available by Walmart and voiced by Bobcat Goldthwaite, the digital talking fruitcake can be shared on your Facebook wall, or sent to friends. As an inedible fruitcake with a grating voice, Frank is meant to be “annoyingly charming” (like Goldthwaite) and embody a gift that no one wants (like anything bought at Walmart). Let the unfriending begin!
