A space to note recipes and inspiration, with organized sections for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and treats. I love the handy measurements and conversions page, and the silk paper finish.

Crafted in Brescia, Italy. Stanley Tucci's lasagna dish was designed for fun, family dinners. Perfect for pasta lovers, this pan is also nonstick and free from harmful chemicals, so clean-up is a dream.

This unique, KitchenAid mixing bowl is a thoughtful gift for the budding baker. It shimmers and shines in the light, turning a practical piece into a decorative statement.

Made from stainless steel with a beautiful gold finish, these cups are as practical as they are eye-catching. They'll turn everyday baking into something a little bit more magical.

Inspired by the Macaron-filled bakeries of Paris, this set of baking dishes from Staub brings French charm to the kitchen. I've been testing them with focaccia and tres leches cake – they are simply a joy.

Health-conscious cooks will love this glass spray bottle. I recently learned that commercial lecithin spray oils will damage non-stick air fryers and increase the risk of chemical leaching. This gift is far healthier for you and your kitchenware.

I use these in my air fryer for single-serve breakfasts, like muffins, banana cakes and perfectly circular baked eggs. They add some easy, simple fun to my morning routine.

Once you've tried an air fryer, you'll be hooked on the speed and ease of creating delicious meals. I love adding a sprinkle of infused salts like these – an effortless way to elevate your air-fried fish, fries and veggies in seconds.

If your hostess loves creating fabulous food, she’ll be thrilled with this year’s coolest dessert maker: the Ninja Creami. It can whip up everything from refreshing sorbets to creamy gelato. I've found 'refurbished like new' models at Walmart for less.

I recently received this Staub dutch oven – and it was a breath-taking experience. The Grenadine color is so rich and luxurious, it's almost too beautiful to cook with. I set mine on the kitchen table for guests to see!

A chic gift for the host who appreciates the finer details. The elegant, natural marble keeps butter fresh and spreadably soft. Plus, it looks more expensive than it is!

Give them the night off cooking with this effortless air fryer. After testing over 50 models, we found the Philips essential range to be the easiest to use. It’s sleek, but powerful enough to make perfectly crispy fries, fish, and vegetables in just minutes. 

This beautiful, walnut knife set is a breathtaking gift. The recycled stainless steel blades have a durable titanium coating for sharper, smoother cuts.

Who knew you could add such delicious depth of flavor, with just a pinch of salt? Truffle anything from grilled steaks and burgers to scrambled eggs.

This is the ultimate, dream gift for a coffee lover, straight from the top of our best espresso maker guide. They can get creative with the steam wand to make lattes, cappuccinos and more.

This is a really fun gift for caffeine lovers. You can make rich espressos and americanos in one, cool, compact and ultra-lightweight appliance. Read our barista's AeroPress review here.

Furbish Studio creates vibrant home accessories designed to make a statement. With a signature blend of bold colors and quirky patterns, this oven mitt will brighten up any kitchen!

I love this ingenious coffee scoop, which doubles as a clip for your bag of coffee beans. What a great way to keep coffee fresh and your scoop at the ready.

I couldn't resist including something from Mackenzie-Childs. The iconic hand-painted design of this little spoon rest is sure to bring some character to the kitchen.

Petite and perfectly portioned, a pair of Le Creuset espresso cups make a gorgeous gift. They certainly add a pop of color to the kitchen.

Crafted in small batches, this artisanal simple syrup combines chai, caramel and rose flavors with cane sugar, sweetening a plain cup of coffee or tea.

It might be a little too big for a stocking, but this ultra-compact blender is portable and lightweight, so you can take smoothies to the gym, office, or school. It's available in multiple cute colors.
