Let’s get into the list of 50+ Great Kitchen Gift Ideas!

1. Kitchenaid Stand Mixer

“Don’t bother with the Kitchenaid mixer, you’ll never use it,” they say. Get the Kitchenaid mixer. Ok? It’s wonderful. I know I wouldn’t enjoy baking if it wasn’t for this thing. Kitchenaid mixers come in a lot of different colors, so you can choose the perfect shade. Obviously, this is a larger item. Folks probably won’t just go out and buy one for themselves, which makes it a wonderful option for the perfect present. Ready to check it out? Click here.

I will say, if baking bread is something you’re interested in, the Bosch mixer might be a better choice. Click here to see it.

2. Pyrex Measuring Cups

These are microwave safe and they double as measuring cups and little mixing bowls making them a very versatile addition to any kitchen.

3. Vegetable Chopper

Easily chop vegetables for soups or anything with this handy little chopper. (Soup is more fun to eat when the veggies are neatly chopped into squares!) This Mueller Chopper comes with four different blades and can easily cut a variety of things from fruits and veggies to cheeses. It can also neatly nest together for compact storage making it a good option for small kitchens.

4. Silicone Spatulas

The mini ones, especially. They’re so handy for scraping, stirring, mixing, spreading, and won’t ruin your non-stick pans. We like the seamless one piece design; no pieces to come apart and for dirt or food, rather, to get into to.

5. Meat Thermometer

A good instant read thermometer is a great item to have to check the exact temperatures of meat when grilling and cooking. We like this one.

6. Crock-pot Slow Cooker

These are perfect for fall and winter soups and stews or even roasts. They even come in different sizes which is nice!

7. Vacuum Sealer

Seal in the freshness and flavor of your food (up to 5 times longer!) with a vacuum packer.

8. Egg Cooker

Easily hard-boil eggs with very little effort with a little egg cooker like this one. Ok, I’ll admit it. I don’t even know how to hard-boil eggs the old-fashioned way in a pot on the stove-top. This thing makes it too easy!

9. Espresso Machine

Coffee lovers, this one’s for you. Learn a new skill: making your own amazing coffee drinks at home! They just might be better than the bought coffee drinks.

10. Kitchen Knife Set

Working in the kitchen is way more fun if you have good kitchen tools. This knife set comes with sixteen knives (steak knives included!) a kitchen scissors and a knife sharpener!

11. Measuring Cups and Spoons

A good set of measuring cups and spoons is essential in the kitchen. We like these because there’s so many options! (Not all sets include 2/3 and 3/4 measuring cups, for example.)

12. Food Torch

Creme brulee, anyone? This thing’s on our wishlist. There are actually alot of uses for a little torch.

13. Pasta Roller

Take your pasta dish to the next level with homemade pasta. Back when I was growing up, my mom occasionally made a large batch of homemade egg noodles and we would freeze them for later cooking.

14. Rotary Cheese Grater

Something like this is wonderful if you like to grate and freeze your own cheese like we do. A practical gift that comes in a bunch of fun colors!

15. Peeler

A peeler is a handy little kitchen tool, perfect for sticking in a kitchen themed gift basket. This is our current favorite peeler.

16. NordicWare Sheetpans

Everything from baking cookies to sheet pan dinners, these pans are great.

17. Digital Scales

A simple, compact little food scales like this one is great for weighing ingredients when baking. We especially like ours when it comes to baking bread or anything containing flour, really. Click here to purchase a food scales.

18. Fun and Cute Dishes

Pretty serving or baking dishes are the perfect gift for the home cook this holiday season. These even come in several fun colors! Purchase these casserole dishes here.

19. Large Cutting Board

This thing’s a giant! And it’s amazing. Especially when making large cuts of meat like ribs on the grill, one of these is super handy for cutting, slicing and still pretty enough to use for serving if you wish. Click here to purchase a large cutting board for yourself.

20. Drink Dispenser

A clear 3 gallon drink dispenser is fun to have for hosting! Fill it with your signature homemade punch or tea or whatever… purchase this drink dispenser here.

21. Glass Coffee Cup

Lovely clear designed glass coffee mugs complete with a cute little stirring spoon. Coffee always tastes better out of a cute mug or cup, am I right? These make great gifts for coffee and tea drinkers. Another bonus, they’re affordable! Buy a set of glass coffee mugs here.

22. Dinnerware Set

This is a practical idea. Choose a simple white set like this one or go with a cute seasonal set to go with a specific theme. Purchase these here.

23. Meat Chopper

Another handy little tool perfect to add to gift baskets. Easily finely chop ground meat while cooking with a meat chopper. Buy it now on Amazon.

24. Oven Mitts or Pot Holders

Pot holders. Every kitchen should be equipped with some good pot holders or oven mitts. There’s all colors and styles available so you can choose the perfect ones! Click here.

25. French Press Coffee Maker

A French press makes a very good cup of hot black coffee. This is perfect for a coffee lover or a coffee themed gift basket. Click here to purchase.

26. Food Storage Set

Keep those pantry staples neatly contained and organized with a set of air tight containers like these. This set of containers also includes labels, a marker, and two measuring cups. We have a similar set to this one and love it for keeping our bulk food items safely and neatly contained. Click here to purchase.

27. Bamboo Drying Rack

How about a more aesthetically pleasing drying rack for dishes? These are so cute; I want one, but haven’t gone out and purchased one. It’s another practical and useful gift idea and you can click here to go ahead and purchase a wooden drying rack whenever you’re ready.

28. Immersion Blender

Blend, crush, chop, whisk, and puree smoothies, sauces, baby food, soup and more. Create endless culinary creations, quickly and conveniently with an immersion blender.

30. Marble Rolling Pin

Making pies, sugar cookies, Christmas cookies, pasta or pizza? You’re going to need a good rolling pin. We like this marble rolling pin from Amazon, no less. Click here to purchase.

31. Kitchen Apron

This is a fun one. Kitchen aprons come in all sorts of different styles, prints and colors on Amazon. It’s the perfect gift idea for a friend who loves to bake! Check out the aprons here.

32. Handheld Mixer

The KitchenAid Hand Mixer provides you with the power and control to mix up your favorite cookie dough, mash potatoes and so much more. We absolutely love this thing and use it quite often to beat cream cheese for a whole host of recipes, mash potatoes, or even mix up a little batch of anything when we don’t feel like using the big Kitchenaid stand mixer. It even comes in different colors! Check it out here.

33. Kitchen Towels

Another fun one! I’ve always declared one of these years I’m going to start changing out my kitchen towels to coordinate with the seasons. (I have yet to get it done!) There are so many cute tea towels out there and they don’t last forever! Not the way we use ours around here, anyway. A variety pack of tea towels makes a great addition to a kitchen themed gift basket. Click here to see them on Amazon.

34. Olive Oil Dispenser

It’s fun to have a dispenser of some kind to store oil in, aside from the obnoxious bottle oil tends to come in. This particular model can mist and pour! It’s on my wishlist this holiday season as well. Check it out here.

35. Cookbook

One can never have too many cookbooks. Click here to check out Hope’s Table which contains wonderful recipes from a Mennonite cook.

36. Popcorn Popper

37. Utensil holder

A new utensil holder filled with utensils adds a homey, cozy touch to the kitchen counter.

38. Cookware

There’s nothing like cooking with a beautiful set of new, quality cookware. It will be sure to delight your foodie friends even if it is a more practical gift. I’ve currently got my eye on this lovely set from Caraway. Click here to find it on Amazon!
