Being the culinary expert that she is, it’s no surprise that when it comes to picking a host/hostess gift, food is at the top of Gail Simmons' list. In a recent chat in with Most Wanted, the Top Chef judge shared that she loves to treat people to a present that they can "indulge in" during the holidays. And we’re not talking about a basic box of supermarket cookies either.

Gail likes to gift maple-infused delights such as whiskey, butter, or even popcorn to her pals. Not only are they yummy, but they also allow the cookbook author to share a taste of her homeland, Canada, with her friends. 

Inspired by Gail's sweet gift idea? We Most Wanted editors rounded up a few delectable maple goodies for your choosing below.
