Gift Ideas for the Home Cook, Entertainer, the “everybody come over to my house” person!

  1. Microfiber Dish Drying Mat $12 – drying dish mats! We have 2 of these and love that it kinda blends into our countertops so it’s not so stark and drastic. 
  2. Ninja NC501 CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 Ice Cream & Frozen Treat Maker for Ice Cream $249 – this is on our wish list this year! Well maybe more so mine, Cody calls this countertop clutter. We love ice cream and my dad has this and loves the healthier option for a sweet treat!

  3. 8 Piece Measuring Cups and Spoons Set Stainless Steel  $25 – I’ve had these measuring spoons for almost a year now and they are so beautiful! They are so well made and just feel high end and you can’t beat that price. 

  4. STAUB Ceramics Rectangular Baking Dish Set, 2 pc $49 – note to self, make sure you get your dishes back when you make a meal train dish. I ended up getting these before the holidays so we can do all of our baking. They’re super durable and I read so many great reviews on these too! Believe it or not, a lot of bakeware can crack in the oven when heated to a specific temp! 

  5. Our Place Always Pan 2.0-10.5-Inch Nonstick, Toxin-Free Ceramic Cookware $150 – we were gifted the our place pan last year for Christmas and I always felt meh about it till we got one. I love this pan! I like how deep it is, we always have the issue of the pan not being deep enough for “one pan” dinners and this one makes it doable for a family of 5!

  6. Solino Home Linen Kitchen Apron  $34 – I never wear an apron unless I’m baking which is rarely but this is my go-to when I do put one on. Linen just gets better with time and if they don’t mind some wrinkles I know they’ll love this one!

  7. Be Home Arendal Serving Bowl $118 – I searched the internet for a black stained wood safe pasta and salad serving bowl to no avail. Till I can across this baby! The quality is insane. It has such a beautiful texture and it looks so unique. 
  8. Bakır Concept Copper Oil Bottle $63 – we always have olive oil on the countertop and this one was so beautiful. If that home cook in your life lives for olive oil this would be such a nice touch for an everyday item. 
  9. KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set $17 – gifted myself these oven mitts last year and felt like an adult for how happy they made me. My biggest pet peeve with oven mitts are the space between your thumb and other fingers always gets HOT! These don’t do that which makes them amazing. 
  10. Large Hand Woven Utensil Caddy Carrier $31 – a utensil caddy is the greatest thing of all time for entertaining! Having all the plates, napkins, silverware in one place. You don’t have to worry about anyone rummaging through your kitchen looking for anything. 
  11. Caraway Nonstick Ceramic Bakeware Set (11 Pieces) $395 – for the price this seems pricey, but when you think about it — it’s about $35 a piece for each item. This would be a great gift for newlyweds starting their kitchen, the home cook whose bakes through their last cookie sheet or the home entertainer who loves aesthetic cookware. 

  12. Multicolor Ditsy Floral Cotton Dish Towel $12 – I’m the home cook who throws the dish towel over my shoulder and rubs all the seasoning all over the towel, lol. Dish towels are always a nice gift you can pair with another item. 
  13. Gizmo Snap N Strain Pot & Pasta Strainer $13 – this gadget literally made me get rid of all My colanders. I have no need for them now and this is so much more efficient.

  14. Brightland The Artist Capsule Cold-Pressed Olive Oils $150 – when I think of gift olive oil and kitchen seasonings I think of my Italian grandma and how much she loves cooking. These are always a treasured gift because you know they’ll use it!

  15. Be Home Mixed Horn Service Set $98 – serving ware is a favorite of mine as a hostess and these ones are HUGE! Like massive and make any serving job easy as pie. 
  16. OXO Good Grips 10-Piece POP Container Set $112 – these are a game changer for the cooks in the kitchen. We have these and put little scoops in there and it’s like 👌🏽
  17. EVERLY 100% Pure Linen Rectangle Tablecloths  $55 – a linen tablecloth is perfect for the entertainer! I am always having to get more or buy disposable from the store in a pinch. There’s a ton of color options for this one too!
