Is there a foodie in your life you’re just not too sure what to get for the holidays? Are you someone who likes to cook and actually cannot think of what to put on your wish list this year? This post is just for you!
Gift Ideas for the Daily Cook
This group of gifts is perfect for those in the family that usually cook the meals for their home. Whether they are single or cooking for their family, these goodies will be helpful to them!
- The large organic bamboo cutting board is perfect for prepping as it has compartments to save the different food you are preparing to help keep them separated. This is especially helpful when cooking with specific measurements.
- This set of stainless steel baking pans with cooling racks are perfect for multiple uses. First to use when baking cookies, and a perfectly sized rack for cooling. You can even bake fries or chicken over the racks to create a crispy edge all around!
- The set of 6 airtight food storage containers are great for storing sugar and flour, but also things like rice and pasta like penne and rigatoni. It’s a plus that they are BPA free!
- Everyone needs a knife sharpener! Even inexpensive knives work amazingly after being sharpened and this product not only sharpens but also helps restore and polish blades. Highly recommended and touts 4.5 stars with over 10,000 ratings on Amazon!
- Every cook needs a way to store their favorite recipes. It is common to look up recipes online, but more helpful to write them down or print them for a recipe binder. When buying a book for recipes, consider if the cook prefers to make their own – so they’ll need something to write those recipes in. On the other hand, someone who prints recipes or grabs those recipe cards from the grocery store may need a binder they can place printed items into. Personally, I would need both!
Gift Ideas for the Outdoor Cook
Know someone who takes pride in what comes out of their smoker or barbecue grill? These gift ideas are just for them!
- Every griller needs the right tools. This stainless steel grilling tool set is affordable and has great reviews, too!
- Safety is important and things on the grill and smoker get HOT! These heat resistant gloves are a great help.
- If there’s just one thing you get from this list, I highly recommend this Smart Bluetooth BBQ Grill Thermometer. This allows the griller to receive a notification when the meat they are cooking reaches the perfect temperature! A great buy!!
- If you love to barbecue, you need a good basting brush and this set by Cuisinart is tried and true.
- We purchased this chicken wing rack for someone this Christmas and can’t wait to see it in use. But it is already an Amazon Choice item with great reviews, too.
- This grill brush is top-rated and a great grill grate cleaner that is bristle free (which often can create damage or break off)
Gift Ideas for the Baker
This list of goodies is for that someone who loves to use their oven for yummy treats.
- Cookie cutters are essential and I recommend getting simpler shapes instead of specific holiday shapes for your favorite baker. They are much more versatile throughout the year and allow the baker to be more creative!
- A turn table for frosting cakes is super useful and this one is inexpensive.
- My favorite baking tool is a good silicone pastry mat. The measurements along the edges of this one helps to roll out the dough in just the right dimensions when following recipes.
- These mats are great for spacing out cookie dough evenly and double their duty as guides and baking sheets too. This set is for macarons (though I’d use it for much more) and includes a pastry piping bag set too. Quite a deal as it’s currently priced at just $15.99 with Prime shipping.
- A kitchen scale is essential – this is especially true for recipes you must bake. This is why many times ingredients are listed by weight instead of volume (how much fills a cup or tablespoon for instance). This one is priced well and has awesome reviews.
I truly hope you find these gift ideas for the cook in your life helpful! Are there any you actually would like for yourself?
