Everyone has someone on their list who likes to cook!  Here are some kitchen tools that are sure to please!

 

1. KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer, $349.99, Sur-La-Table.  This great mixer comes in a ton of colors, so there’s one to suit every taste.  This is a great size for most.  I personally have the Professional Series (it’s a bit bigger), but both work with all of the available auxiliary attachments.
2. Citrus Presses – Lemon, Lime and Orange Juicers, $14.95 each, Sur-La-Table.  These are a must for cooking or making cocktails (and margaritas!).
3. OXO Spice Grater w. Sleeve, $16.99, Hudson’s Bay.  This is perfect for grating fresh items like nutmeg!
4. Rosle Kitchen Torch, $49.99, Sur-La-Table.
5. Silicone Spatula, $23, Tupperware.  I love, love, love this spatula! Read my full review here.
6. LeCreuset Salt Crock, $65, Hudson’s Bay.
7. LeCreuset Crepe Pan Set, $119.95, Sur-La-Table.  This set includes a spreader and lifter for even the most novice crepe maker!
8. Bench Scrape Shovel, $7.99, Rachel Ray Collection, Target.  My Mom put one of these in my stocking a few years ago and I use it all the time!
9. Piano Wire Whisk, $10, Epicure Selections.  I have both this one and the mini whisk version ($7).
10. OXO Corn Peeler, $11.99, Hudson’s Bay.
11. Melamine Pinch Bowls (6 pieces), $7.99, Target.  These little guys are so handy, especially for pinches of ground pepper or sea salt.
12. Microplane Garlic Slider, $15, Sur-La-Table.  This is such a great invention!  No more fear of cutting your fingers while grating garlic!
13. Silicone Pastry Mat, $14.95, Target.  This rolls up great to fit into a stocking!
14. LeCreuset French Oven, $299.95, Sur-La-Table.  I have this oven in three sizes and I use them all the time.  Read my full review here.  The traditional Flame color is sure to please any cook.
