Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are tricky and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Shop early and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!
1. A milk frother to pack a powerful, spinning punch despite looking rather delicate. It'll help transform their at-home coffee into one worthy of an actual spot on their 'gram (seriously, a fleeting IG story simply won't do it justice!).
2. An oil mister that'll help them perfectly spray all of their ingredients without getting their hands covered in grease.
3. A grape, strawberry, and tomato cutter so they can flawlessly slice 'em in half the way chefs do on all of those fancy cooking shows.
4. An instant-read digital thermometer, to ensure they'll never have to guess "is my steak cooked?" again. They can grill with confidence!
5. A cutting board and strainer combo, because who wouldn't appreciate a 2-in-1 item that'll save 'em room in their kitchen?
6. A gift assortment of Popbar hot chocolate sticks to upgrade their fave winter beverage from a standard powder hot chocolate mix to one you'd see the main character sipping on under twinkle lights in a Hallmark movie.
7. Everything Bagel Seasoning Blend they'll want to sprinkle on everything — and they should because it's really freakin' delicious.
8. An Always Pan, complete with a nonstick surface, a vented top, a mesh basket for steaming, and a high-quality spoon that hooks onto the handle — they'll basically only ever want to use this pan. My apologies to their current ones.
9. A Le Creuset cast-iron pan for the serious chef who has been dying to get the *perfect* crust on their steak but hasn't had the right pan to really GET there.
10. A Blue Apron gift card, so they can try their hand at all kinds of new recipes without having to shop around for all the ingredients.

14. An AeroGarden for their countertop so they can grow their own herbs to take their recipes to the next level — whether they have a green thumb or not.

17. A bread-making machine that'll fill their home with the aroma of freshly baked bread — is there any better smell than that on a cold, wintry day? I think not.
18. A set of Oxo Pop containers can match all of their appliances and keep their pantry so neat and orderly Marie Kondo would burst into tears of joy upon seeing it.
19. Oven mitts they'll love ~beary~ much — especially because they're actually heat-resistant.

23. A subscription to Piquant Post that'll provide any chef with a *whole new world* of flavor to sprinkle into their already-delicious recipes.
24. A set of LED light saber chopsticks they'll probably misplace in their utensil drawer but then have the opportunity to exclaim "THESE are the ones I've been looking for!" once they finally find them.
25. Molly Baz's book, Cook This Book, that'll inspire them to try out a whole slew of new recipes (and hopefully share 'em with you).

30. A rustic wooden stand that'll hold their cookbook so they'll be able to follow along with any recipe hands-free.

38. A pastasaurus serving spoon they'll love as much as they loved Jeff Goldblum's character in the original Jurassic Park.
39. Gold rimmed stemless wineglasses so you both can toast to how delicious the meal your cooking fiend of a friend just made.
40. Stainless-steel mixing bowls that'll nest nicely inside one another so they won't have to worry about where the heck you're going to store six bowls in their tiny (but efficient!) kitchen.
41. An electric indoor grill, so they can make mouthwatering burgers all year long whether it's 20 or 90 degrees outside.
42. An adjustable rolling pin that'll help them roll any dough to a specific width. I see a lot of "thank you" pizza, pies, and cookies in your future ;).
43. Reusable baking cups so they can say "see ya'!" to getting frustrated while attempting to peel the paper off freshly baked muffins and cupcakes.
44. A batter dispenser, that'll let them create perfectly round, fluffy pancakes that honestly could be featured on the cover of Food Network magazine.

50. A compact 8-in-1 spiralizer that'll grate cheese, juice fruits, cut ribbon, and *so* much more. This lil' gadget really does it all.
51. A KitchenAid Artisan Mini stand mixer (it holds 3.5 quarts!) that won't overtake the kitchen but will certainly help them bake dozens of cookies with way less effort.
52. A set of "floating" kitchen knives in an acrylic case that'll make them actually want to crack open the cookbook you bought for them last Christmas.
53. A steel odor absorber they can count on to rid their hands of any lingering garlic, onion, or fishy scents. All they have to do is use it like a regular bar of soap — magical.
54. A playful egg separator they'll definitely be *egg-cited* to test out — a must-have for any home bakers or fans of egg white omelettes.
55. A pizza oven the entire family can enjoy — from rolling out the dough and adding toppings to watching it cook over the flame, this is one gift you'll get praised for.
56. A culinary blow torch so they can *finally* make their own baked Alaska after watching various chefs do it on TV for years.
