Ever since the completion of our new kitchen, all I want to do is cook! It’s just such an enjoyable experience now that the space is ready. So this year, I’ve got kitchen gifts for the cook on my mind! Plus, with Black Friday on the horizon, a lot of these gift ideas are more affordable than usual. Win-win!
The Best Kitchen Gifts for The Baking Lover or Home Cook
This gift guide is chock full of kitchen gifts. Some are items that I personally own, love, and highly recommend… while some of these holiday presents are things I would very much love to receive! It’s always a mix with me.

Kitchen Gift Ideas, under $25
Gold Cooling Racks, $19.95 – $24.95
A trusty cooling rack is an essential for any baker… but a gold one? That’s an upgrade for sure.
Nothing Fancy cookbook by Alison Roman, $19.50
I always love perusing new cookbooks and trying new recipes. I’m currently working my way through this new Alison Roman cookbook and it’s soooo good.
Large Wooden Lid Glass Storage Jar, $12
It feels like I never have enough food storage, so I would love to receive a few of these glass jars that have quirky sayings on them. One of each size, please!
Lemon Press, $14
I literally use this cheerful yellow lemon press on a daily basis. I really believe that it helps to get more juice out of lemons while also saving my hands from all that squeezing! It’s an essential kitchen gadget, IMO.

Kitchen Gift Ideas, under $50
River Stone Mortar & Pestle, $39.95
I have a similar mortar & pestle and I adoooore it. It’s the perfect way to get perfectly smashed garlic. It’s a wonderful kitchen gift idea!
Cast Iron Fondue Set, $39.95
I’ve sort of always wanted a fondue set. I’m not sure I’d actually use it all that often, but doesn’t it sound like so much fun??
All-Clad Stainless Steel Measuring Cups & Spoons, $50
I splurged on these measuring tools when I first graduated college and I’ve had them for over 10 years. They still look brand new! I could not recommend them enough for a well-made, heirloom quality gift idea.
Spanish Oil Pitcher, $44
The Europeans just always do it better, especially when it comes to chic and functional kitchen tools. I picked up an oil pitcher in Italy last summer, but this one is a handsome alternative that is beautiful, too.
Heart Print Double Oven Glove, $32
If your gift recipient is anything like me, their oven mitt is probably stained and gross. Time for an upgrade! This double oven glove is a cute upgrade for sure.

Kitchen Gift Ideas, under $100
Enamelware Prep Set, $99
It seems like there are never enough prep bowls when cooking, am I right?? This prep set is a classic that your gift’s recipient will use forever.
Brightland Extra Virgin Olive Oil Duo, $74
Yummm, there’s nothing better than fancy olive oil. And these are beautifully packaged enough to keep on the kitchen counter year-round.
White Stoneware Cooking Dishes, $28-64
Talk about chic cookware! I love the look of these white cooking dishes. Plus, they will be perfect to serving entrees and appetizers straight to the table.
3 Piece Pink Glass Mixing Bowl Set, $85
This mixing bowl set is perfect for anyone with a retro-inspired kitchen — or the pink lover in your life!
