It’s no secret that the holidays are full of stress, and not knowing what to give the people in your lives can make it a hundred times worse. Whether it’s that one friend who already has everything they want, that extra picky family member, or that person you can’t quite figure out—picking the right presents can be a pain. For difficult people on your gift list, we find it’s best to play it safe and get them a little something everyone loves. Across the country (but especially in the South), food is usually a safe bet!
We don’t need to tell you that of all the cuisines in the country, there are few who can measure up to delicious Cajun food. Whether the special someone in your life is a certified Cajun cook, a fan of boudin and cracklins, or even someone who’s never tasted Cajun food in their life—you can bet that a foodie goodie will go over well.
Boudin and Cracklins
You surely knew we were going to start here, right? There are few gift choices better than these Cajun icons. From classic links of boudin to pepper jack boudin balls and cracklins by the pound—it’s hard to imagine opening up anything more exciting on Christmas morning. On the off chance a foodie in your life doesn’t care for pork, the crawfish and shrimp boudin options are perfect substitutes as well! Just a few of the people who might enjoy boudin and cracklins for Christmas are:
- Those who love Cajun food but live somewhere far away
- Adventurous foodies who’ve never had boudin or cracklins before
- Dads who love smoking and grilling any kind of meat they can get their hands on
- Road trippers in search of a convenient one-handed snack
Shipping food across the country wasn’t always an option—but now it is thanks to our shipping service. We’ll pack up your food in an ice chest and ship it lightning fast so it stays fresh and delicious upon arrival!
Cookware
Another great gift for the Cajun food lovers in your life is one for those who don’t just enjoy eating Cajun food, but cooking it as well. Ask any cook at home or on the job: there’s no such thing as too much quality cookware. In every cuisine (but especially Cajun food), there’s always cause to get a new butcher’s knife or another piece of quality cast-iron cookware (you can also share our guide on cast iron care while you’re at it). For gumbo lovers, a good Magnalite pot is essential. Plus, you can pair them with one of our custom spoons to inject a little Billy’s magic into their kitchen!
Billy’s Merchandise
If there’s one thing Cajuns know besides food, it’s how to celebrate it in every facet of their lives—and fashion is no exception. If you know the type of Cajun food lover that just can’t resist showing off their love for Billy’s (and who could blame them), then you’ll definitely want to check out our merchandise shop. Gift some flavorful fashion with one of these delightful branded items:
Once you and your loved ones are decked out in Billy’s gear, no one within fifty feet will doubt your exquisite taste or your unwavering love for the finest foods in the world!
Gift Cards
Feeling overwhelmed by all of these excellent options? We get it: finding a whole heap of good gift options can be just as frustrating as finding none at all. Fortunately, you can always give the gift of choice. For locals and passers through, you can buy physical gift cards that are usable at any Billy’s location so they can stroll right in (or drive through) and pick their own perfect assortment of goodies. For those a bit further away who might like to have their favorite Cajun flavors shipped to them anywhere in the US, we offer online gift cards as well!

The gift options for Cajun food lovers doesn’t stop there! Both online and at our four different locations in South Louisiana, there are so many possibilities.
