Hey friends! It’s the time of the year when I get to share with you all my favorite gift ideas. I hope this guide can give you some great ideas for what to give to your loved ones this holiday season.
I’m going to start with all my favourite kitchen tools and appliances that I think are great for the foodie friends or for people who love cooking and being creative in the kitchen. They are all things I love so much. So, let’s start!
- Lattissima Touch Espresso Machine by De’Longhi: We got this machine at the beginning of this year, and I can tell you that these Nespresso capsules are designed to make amazing barista-style coffee with only one touch. My husband can’t live without it, and he keeps telling me that this is the best coffee you can make in your home without having a complete espresso machine. It’s also important to say that Nespresso capsules are aluminum, which is infinitely recyclable as opposed to plastic capsules.
- Vitamix Explorian Blender: It was on my 2017 gift guide, and it’s back because I have one, and I can’t live without it. I make lots of smoothies, sauces, and soups with it, making my life in the kitchen much easier.
- Marshmallow Mugs: Aren’t they the cutest thing ever? Perfect for enjoying hot chocolate, coffee, or tea this time of the year.
- Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast-Iron: I can’t tell you how much I love my Dutch oven. My husband gave it to me last year for my birthday and I use it almost every day. Personally, I think everyone should have a good Dutch Oven in the kitchen, especially this time of year, to cook soups, stews, chili, meat, etc. Amazing gift for someone who loves cooking!
- Cheese Cutting Board Set: This is just so elegant, and I love the mix of wood and marble. Any appetizer board will look even prettier with this board set.
- Le Creuset Cast-Iron Skillet: Just like a Dutch oven pan, a cast iron skillet is a much needed tool we all must have in the kitchen.
- J.A. Henckels Stainless Steel Cookware Set: To be very honest, I’ve never had a cookware set as good as this one. This pan set is well worth the money.
- KitchenAid Professional Stand Mixer: My husband gave me this mixer 4 years ago for Christmas, and since then, I love it because it does so much more than, well, mixing.
- Instant Pot: This was definitely the kitchen tool of this year. Do I need to say more?
- Food Chopper: Fresh food is so easy and fast to prep with this awesome tool. It’s perfect for preparing salads, salsa, onions, garlic, stir-fries, soups, stews, and more.
