Every home chef loves shiny new kitchen gadgets to play with.
First up is a milk frother! Be the star barista on Christmas morning and whip up cappuccinos, lattes, or matcha tea.
Making coffee-shop-style recipes at home is as simple as it can be with this milk frother.
We use ours for Vanilla Cold Foam.
Yum! You can really create fun drinks at home with a frother.
Check out this fancy-schmancy Brewista kettle, which features an LCD panel with a precise temperature selection for sublime flavor.
The ultimate gadget that everyone wants is an Instant Pot. Why not get them Instant Pot PRO? This baby is a steamer and yogurt maker, does sous vide, and still makes the most delicious soups, stews, and super fast suppers.
Pressure cook, slow cook, sous vide, sauté pan, rice, sterilizer, yogurt maker, food warmer, cake baker and steamer.
Another super handy kitchen tool is an immersion blender. Ideal for those with smaller kitchens and excellent for blending creamy dressings like this Cilantro Avocado Dressing and silky soups like this Cauliflower Potato Soup.
The Mueller Blender Stick's powerful motor and sharp blades will blend any type of food into a perfectly smooth consistency.
Another classic here, folks!
The Cadillac of blenders: the Vitamix.
Besides blending up smoothies, a Vitamix does pretty much anything a food processor can do, like make Homemade Larabars and these Sugar-Free Date Cookies.
Create every course of your home-cooked meal – from fresh smoothies to creamy desserts – in minutes.
Something I have on my list is this soda stream. I’ve been reading up on magnesium and there is a cool recipe to add it to sparkling water that I really want to try.
Make fresh sparkling water at the push of a button.
Isn’t this the absolute cutest mini-fridge?
There are a bunch more cute colors to choose from, too. How great to have in your office for your lunch and healthy snacks. Just plug it in! The price might surprise you too.
Under $50!
This compact fridge is perfect for everyday use. You can store your lunch, drinks, and even baby bottles.
Every kitchen needs an Air Fryer. Mine included!
This Air Fryer with a ceramic basket is on my wish list. Along with more counter space. 😉
The removable ceramic coated basket is PFOA-free, BPA-Free, lead free & cadmium free.
Coffee, for one? Keurig has you covered! You don’t even need to open your eyes with this fantastic little beauty.
Less than 5 inches wide, perfect for small spaces.
Stay warm this winter, and grill indoors!
This Ninja Foodi Smart can do just that plus dehydrate, roast, and broil. Super-versatile.
Indoor countertop Grill and Air Fryer that sears, sizzles, and crisps.
Bakeware and Fun Kitchen Essentials
Presentation is everything and serving up your chicken broccoli casserole in a handsome ceramic baking dish will set a delicious scene. 🙂
Something you might not necessarily get for yourself is a good set of mixing bowls. Handy and useful. Nuff said.
Speaking of cute colors, how about this rainbow? I use silicone muffin liners for baking and making Peanut Butter Cups.
Reusable baking cups in assorted colors. Ideal for baking, lunch/snack cups, and more.
This cute kit of Christmas Cookie Cutters is for all of your festive baking needs.
And more cute mixing bowls! These are ceramic and colorful for recipients who love a bright, fun look in their kitchen.
The biggest one is great for food prep, fruit, popcorn, and making dough. The medium bowl works well for serving salad. The small bowl is just right for cereal.
This marble rolling pin is a staple for rolling dough, and it is pure class in the kitchen.
Designed from 100% marble and accented with sleek and smooth wooden handles.
Speaking of class, here is another cookware set and this blue color is so pretty.
LEAD-FREE and NON-TOXIC ceramic that is anti-chip, scratch resistant, bright surface, and easy to clean.
This pastry roller is so helpful! Made from smooth hardwood, the smaller sizes make these rollers excellent for pressing down oats like these Honey Oat Bars or these No-Bake Granola Bars. A good roller is convenient in so many recipes!
Cookware
I’m a fan of stainless, and this complete set of pots and pans has it all! Who wouldn’t love a sleek new set like this one?
Pots, pans, and glass lids are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.
If ceramic is more your style, this cookware set is pretty sweet—lots of beautiful colors to choose from.
NATURALLY NON-STICK: Our super slick non-stick pots and pans require less oil or butter for cooking and minimal scrubbing for a spotless clean.
What about the classic cast iron skillet legend from Lodge? It doesn’t get any more durable than this! Great for searing steaks that then get a roast in the oven because they are completely oven-safe.
Lodge cast iron cookware is the perfect kitchen tool for beginners, home cooks and chefs.
Cool Stocking Stuffers
A set of quality knives is a fantastic gift.
Made from German high-quality, high carbon stainless steel.
This might not seem glamorous but trust me, drawing from my experience, every home cook loves a brand-new, fresh, crisp cotton dish towel.
With a unique Herringbone weave, they're ultra-absorbent, quick drying, and won't leave any lint behind.
Oooh, the luxury! Treat those tired legs to an anti-fatigue mat. It’s non-slip, waterproof, and easy to maintain.
The waterproof surface and strong durable material withstands the test of time and help keep their shape,even with extended and heavy use.
Look like a professional chef in this apron with adjustable straps. Black is a great color if you are prone to splashing or spilling like I am. 😉
Look at this fantastic cookbook stand! I love this one that looks like a cutting board. So apropos!
Cookbook holder made from 100% eco-friendly fir wood free your hands when cooking.
Maybe a more antique-style cookbook stand is your jam? This one features weighted chains for those runaway paperback cookbooks.
