Gifts For Food & Kitchen Lovers

Hello friends! I wanted to get this gift guide out just in time for the holiday season! I am sharing all my favorite gift ideas for food and kitchen lovers!

I have separated the list into different categories for your convince! Have fun perusing!

Caffeine Fix:

For those coffee & tea lovers, here are some fun ideas!

AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker - Quickly Makes Delicious Coffee Without Bitterness

I use this EVERYDAY. It hands down makes the best coffee (in my opinion) so if you know a coffee snob this would make the perfect gift. It is also great for adventurers, we always bring this camping since it is lightweight and portable!

Temperature Control Miroco Electric Kettle with Double Wall, Keep Warm, Auto Shut-Off, & Boil-Dry Protection

Seems like a different idea for a gift but having a temperature controled kettle has been a GAME CHANGER in our house (especially if you have an aeropress from above). Being able to choose the exact tempertaure is a must for any tea & coffee lover.

4-pack Extra Fine Mesh Tea Infuser with Drip Tray

How adorable are these?! Anyone who likes tea is going to love these, I know I do! The silicone makes them really easy to clean, plus the colorful flowers make me smile!

Vermont Coffee Company Medium Roast, Organic, Non-GMO, Whole Bean Arabica Coffee

My favorite New England roasted coffee can get shipped to your door! Get yourself a bag, you'll want to use it right away!

8 Loose Leaf Tea Sampler from Tiesta Tea

Test out those new tea infusers with this loose tea sampler pack! Give them the chance to figure out what they like!

Reading

I love a good cookbook! Here are some of the kitchen reading materials I have been into this year that are totally giftable!

The Complete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook 2001-2021: Every Recipe from the HIt TV Show

So my version is a little older so it doesn't have the few newest seasons but I like it so much I am condering buying it again for the newest season... Every recipe in this book goes under strenuous testing so you know it will be good. If you know a fan of the show this book is a must!

Healthyish: A Cookbook with Seriously Satisfying, Truly Simple, Good-For-You (but not too Good-For-You) Recipes for Real Life

This cookbook is a few years old but I find it full of new ideas! One of my new favorite dinners, a Ground Pork Banh Mi Bowl is from this book. It is a great option for people who like to cook 'healthyish'!

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking

This book has become super popular thanks to Netflix but I still thing the actual book is worth the read. It goes over the elements of good cooking... Salt, Fat, Acid, And Heat. It also comes with recipes. So it is half book half cookbook.

The Ultimate Bar Book: The Comprehensive Guide to Over 1,000 Cocktails

This is a fun little book we like to keep on the bar for new inspiration. When we are ready to try something new we like to flip through it until we find something that sounds good, and with over 1,000 choices sometimes is takes a while! For the cocktail enthusiast in your life this is a fun one to gift!

Kitchen MUST HAVES

These are a few of the items that I don't think I could cook without. So if you are looking for ideas for a budding chef who still hasn't quite completed thier kitchen yet or know someone who is ready for some upgrades shop these!

Anolon Advanced Soft Grip Knife Starter Set

Knifes can make a huge difference in the kitchen and while there are knifes far superior to these, these knifes are a great affordable option! Anyone you gift these too will be cutting like a champ in no time!

Mealthy 10-Inch Stainless Steel Professional-Grade Frying Pan

If you are like me you might be looking to get away from tephlon pots & pans, or maybe the ones you have are getting old and need to be replaced. This isn't the most glamorous of gifts but oh so practical. Switching to stainless steel takes a few uses to get used to but once you are there you won't believe how amazing it is! I found this Mealthy brand one to be absoultely amazing for the low price point, considering that you can pay well over $100 for some brands.

Lodge Cast Iron Skillet, Pre-Seasoned with Silicone Hot Handle Holder

The backbone of my kitchen. A good cast iron is an absolute work horse plus these things litereally last forever! I suggest getting a 12 inch or 10 inch. You can also get accessories like a silicone handle, tempered glass lid, and pan scraper. I know they can seem intimidating at first but I promise they really aren't that hard to maintain.

Lodge Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Another work horse that is much needed in every kitchen! A good dutch oven is truly worth it. Mine is from Lodge and it is the best. Plus the best part of these is that they come in a ton of fun colors, mine is teal to match our kitchen and I LOVE IT!

Kids Stuff

Kids can enjoy the kitchen too! Here are some kitchen gifts that my kids love.

Training Chopsticks for Kids - 4 Pairs Chopstick Set with Attachable Learning Chopstick Helper

How cute are these! My kids love choosing the animals they get to use! It has been a great way to introduce chopsticks to our kids.

Tervis Dinosaurs Insulated Tumbler with Lid

I am a big fan of Tervis Tumblers, they keep your drink cold (or hot) and are very durable. So when I was looking for a fun travel option (and something the boys could use when we go to the neighbors to play) I grabbed one of these for each of them. We personally got the dinosaurs but there are a ton of patterns to choose from!

Raddish | Cooking Club for Kids

Subscription boxes are all the rage for a good reason! They are fun and experience based gifts and this one is no exception! My kids love getting their box in the mail every month, they include an easy shopping list and very clear directions! Plus tons of information around that month's theme which ranges from anything to a different country, to a holiday, to a color?! P.S. You can use my personal referral promo code to get some $$ off your first order: wv6fv7

FUN FINDS!

Here are more just plain old fun finds for the food and kitchen lover in your life!
