These are fabulous gifts for chefs and anyone in your life who loves to cook, bake, and entertain.
These are kitchen essentials that I love and use in our home. There’s something for everyone in this complete gift guide!
As I prepare this year’s gift guides, I am also updating a few favorite gift guides from the past as classics never go out of style.
Call me crazy, but I love receiving kitchen gifts for Christmas. In fact, for the last few years, that’s what I’ve requested. How many people do you know (including yourself) that have said we should all have a 10 year anniversary shower to rebuild your kitchen tools?
Well, today I’m sharing some of my favorite kitchen gifts for yourself, a friend or family member. I’m creating a variety of gift guides to suit every buyer and recipient.
I’ve recently shared a round up of 25 homemade gifts, Stocking Stuffers for Tweens and Teens, and my Christmas gift guide has categories for everyone on your list!

Pasta Maker Attachment
If you have a KitchenAid mixer, it’s so easy with this attachment, and takes the same amount of time as it does to prepare boxed noodles.
Boos Block Cutting Board
When we got marble countertops, I got a Boos block that we leave out 24/7. Many years later, it’s still going strong.
Mini Food Processor
I’m not much of a fan of small kitchen appliances because they consume so much space, but this mini food processor packs a lot of punch and is less than $40!
15 Piece Knife Block Set
I adore my Zwilling knife block and knives, but this more affordable white and gold set is gorgeous, with great reviews!

I can’t live without this can opener! It’s so easy to use and stow away. It is the best little stocking stuffer, and one that everyone can use and enjoy.
Herb Scissors
Such a handy tool to have in your drawer – we use these for everything from green oninos to herbs and even vanilla beans!
For Stovetop and Oven
Dutch Oven
Staub cast iron cookware, like this Dutch oven, is essential in my kitchen. It’s also an item many people don’t want to buy for themselves – it’s a winner of a gift!
I tend to use the 7 quart the most frequently! If you’re looking to spend less, this Martha Stewart option is beautiful too, and so affordable!
Caraway Cookware
These pretty ceramic cookware pieces are so beautiful in our lake kitchen! Read more about them in our Pots and Pans Storage guide.
Coq Au Vin
My Coq Au Vin works just as hard braising beef and browning chicken evenly. It’s a staple that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Lidded Oval Baker
I love a piece that is both useful and beautiful, especially if it goes from the oven to the table with ease! This one is an incredible price point at just $19.88!
Stainless Steel Pans
I turned in my old non-stick set in favor of dishwasher safe stainless for our St. Louis kitchen. I no longer question if we’re getting a little extra “seasoning” in our dinner.
Lucerne Casserole Dishes
This line of casserole dishes is one that I turn to again and again. With simple, clean lines and fitted lids, they are wonderful for Thanksgiving side dishes and beyond. Affordable, too! $17.95 – $34.95
