HOLIDAY gift guide 2018
This Holiday Foodie Gift Guide 2018 offers ideas for thoughtful, stylish, and practical kitchen gifts for the season.
If you’re shopping for someone who loves to cook, entertain, or simply enjoys beautiful, well-made kitchen tools, these picks cover a variety of budgets and tastes. I focused on items that combine function with attractive design so they’ll look great on the counter and stand up to regular use.
- Vitamix — Vitamix has long been my top pick for a high-performance blender. The copper finish in particular brings a touch of elegance to any kitchen. It’s powerful, reliable, and ideal for everything from smoothies to soups and nut butters.
- Bodum storage jar — A classic, well-finished jar is both useful and decorative. If you already own a French press, a matching Bodum storage jar looks lovely on the counter and keeps ingredients fresh.
- Old Dutch Colander — Most kitchens have a colander, but an attractive stainless or copper-toned colander upgrades the look of your prep area and feels special to use.
- Jamie Oliver Comfort Food — A cookbook full of familiar favorites and easy-to-love recipes. Jamie’s comfort food collection is a great gift for cooks who want reliable, delicious weeknight and weekend meals.
- Mint Kitchen Accessories — Coordinated accessories in a soft mint color are both stylish and practical. They make the kitchen feel fresh and thoughtfully styled.
- Bodum French Press — French press coffee has a unique flavor and ritual. A well-made copper French press looks beautiful on the counter and elevates the daily coffee routine.
- Mule Copper Mugs — Copper mugs aren’t just for Moscow Mules. I use them for hot chocolate and turmeric lattes in winter, and for cool lemonades or cocktails in summer. They’re versatile and charming.
- KitchenAid Stand Mixer — A true kitchen workhorse. My KitchenAid has been with me since I got married — a dependable appliance that lasts for years and still performs beautifully.
- Staub 1123102 Cast Iron Coq au Vin Cocotte — Elegant, classic French cast iron is ideal for slow braises, stews, and oven cooking. A well-made cocotte combines durability with a timeless look that’s equally at home on the stovetop or table.
- Copper measuring cups — Stylish measuring cups add a professional, finished look to baking and prep. They’re practical and make everyday tasks feel a little more special.
- Brentwood Slow Cooker — A slow cooker is a real time-saver. Prepare a meal in the morning and come home to tender stews, soups, chili, or even desserts ready to serve.
- Copper silicone cooking utensils — These utensils combine beautiful design and practicality. Heat-resistant silicone with a copper finish looks great in the utensil crock and won’t scratch cookware.
These items make thoughtful gifts for home cooks, new homeowners, newlyweds, or anyone who enjoys spending time in the kitchen. I chose items that are durable, easy to use, and attractive enough to display. Whether you’re building a starter kitchen or upgrading a long-loved setup, a well-chosen kitchen tool adds both function and joy to daily cooking.
Wishing you happy holiday shopping — and many delicious meals to come.
