Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? Or maybe, for some of you, I should ask, have you started your shopping yet? The clock is ticking and just 9 shopping days remain until Christmas.
I usually like to have all of my shopping done by early December. I hate the last minute rush of scrambling to find gifts. I'd much rather be spending my time sipping eggnog, baking cookies and going to holiday parties. I'm a little behind this year, and I was starting to get a little nervous until I hit up the Union Square Holiday Market during lunch today. It was a major success! I wish I could tell you all about my purchases and show you photos, but some of the recipients are likely to be reading this, and I don't want to spoil the surprise.
If you're stumped on ideas for what to get your favorite foodie, I have a few (ok, maybe more than a few) ideas for you! These are all a combination of my favorite kitchen items, as well as things I'd love to add to my kitchen (are you reading, Santa?).
You can never go wrong with cookbooks!! I love giving cookbooks, just as much as I love receiving them.
How about a pretty set of measuring cups?
I LOVE aprons, and Anthropologie has a great, super cute selection!! You definitely couldn't go wrong with an adorable apron and matching oven mit! I have this set at home, and it's one of my favorites!
I'm still rocking with a hand-held electric mixer. It's cool, it gets the job done....but oh, how I'd love a KitchenAid Pro Series Stand Mixer
Grill pans are awesome!
Whether it's 10 degrees or 100 degrees, you'll find me eating ice cream.....it's even better when it's made at home
I bet one of these bright-colored Bodum French Press Coffee Makers would liven up your morning!
Laduree Macarons....mmmm, de-lish!
The Mini Chopper is a kitchen must-have!
Don't forget about stocking stuffers! Here are some of my favorites....
I LOVE these peelers!!
You can never have too many mini spatulas
I'm in love with OXO cookie scoops....perfect cookies every time!
I bet your foodie would be thrilled to find a Puegeot pepper mill in their stocking!
How about a Microplane Zester?!
I think you should sneak in a container of Fleur de SelHappy shopping!!
You have great ideas!! :D I stick to the electric mixers and everything from Le Creuset... but I'd love to have the macarons too! haha
ReplyDeleteKisses!! :)
Forget the Le Crueset --go for the Emile Henry which goes from stove top to oven to table or freezer and back again. It is also not so heavy and never ever leaves a rusty ring!!
