The best kitchen gifts for the home chef



This time of year is madness. Complete madness. Like utter meltdown madness.

I still haven't bought my Christmas cards. I'm not even talking about decorating a tree. And I really can't handle the thought of venturing through a packed department store right now for any last-minute gifts. 

The solution? Online shopping. (And, what did we do before Amazon.com?)

Here are my favorite holiday gifts under $50 - all of which can be ordered online!



1. RSVP Spice Measuring Spoon, Set of 6
These are perfect for measuring out spices because these spoons actually fit inside of narrow spice jars, making measuring easier than ever!

2. Lodge Logic 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet
You can't go wrong with a cast iron skillet. I've been using my Lodge skillet for a little over a year and I love it. This is a great gift for anyone trying to move away from Teflon pans.

3. Microplane Zester/Grater
A microplane zester really is the perfect accessory for any home chef. I love using mine for zesting lemon and oranges and I even use it to grate garlic when I'm feeling too lazy to clean out my garlic mincer.

4. Jessie Steele Brown and Pink Polka Dot Josephine Apron
The funny thing is that I always love giving aprons as gifts, but I still don't have one of my own! This one is absolutely adorable, as well as practical when you're trying to protect yourself from green smoothie spillage.

5. Bodum Pavina 8-1/2-Ounce Double-Wall Thermo Tumbler Glasses, Set of 2
I love these glasses because they are double-walled and work perfectly for both hot and cold drinks. It's always fun to offer guests hot tea in these cute cups!

6. Chalkboard Terra Cotta Plant Pot Trio Set
Once I began growing fresh herbs in my kitchen  I knew I could never live without them! I love this cute chalkboard set because it's a fun way to label your herbs and would look beautiful in any kitchen.

7. Bodum Glass Tea Press with Stainless-Steel Filter
I'm obsessed with loose-leaf tea and this is by far my favorite tea pot. It makes 34 ounces which is perfect for serving guests, or if you just want to make a large pot for yourself on a rainy afternoon.

What kitchen gifts are you giving this year?
