Paula Deen

​The Traditionalist
If she thinks dinner isn't dinner without a pound of butter, damn the cholesterol. If her favorite foods include chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken, and ham, you'll want to pick up a copy of Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible -- signed by the lady herself! This autographed book features 400 pages of recipes filled with butter, butter, and more butter. $29.95 at The Paula Deen store (butter sold separately).

Biltmore Hotel

​The Mom
If she's the type who goes nowhere without her little mini-me, then the Biltmore Hotel's Culinary Academy Cooking Buddies class is a perfect gift. This class features a mother-and-child cooking experience. Best part? They'll enjoy a three course meal apres-class. $85 includes both mom and child.

Etsy

​The Snarky Girl
She's read every word Bourdain ever wrote and eats life like it were a big plate of bacon. This girl laughs at the world, not with it. Give her a reminder that life is fun, damn it, with this daily affirmation by Anthony Bourdain in the form of a fridge magnet. $4 from Etsy.
