Ebelskivers are the hottest new breakfast items. Originating in Denmark, they are light, puffy pancakes that can be filled with fruit, chocolate, jam, or cheese and can be served for breakfast, hors d’oeurve, dessert, or even light dinner. With this ebelskivers filled pancake pan from William Sonoma you can cook up these yummy treats anytime! Only $39.95 from William Sonoma

This item was one of Oprah’s favorite things this year, and they are just as incredible as she described them! These mini croissants are a traditional French pastry and are shipped frozen meaning they can be eaten whenever the mood strikes! A William Sonoma exclusive, they are only $39.95 for 24 delicious croissants!

Of course every foodie loves the Food Network, so a 2011 day-to-day Food Network calendar is an ideal gift!

  1. I’m definitely the “foodie friend”. My mother is also, and I had NO idea what to get her for Christmas and now I have some great ideas. Thanks for the suggestions!
