2012 Holiday Gift Guide: What Every Kitchen Needs
December 7, 2012
There's just a little over two weeks left until Christmas, and the holiday shopping season is well under way. This was never more clear than on my recent trip/nightmare to Toys 'R' Us.
I'm pretty sure I almost lost a limb or two on several occasions. Note to my fellow parents: Avoid this place like the plague.
During the holidays I love checking out unique kitchen gadgets. Every kitchen needs to have a few awesome essentials and gadgets, and if they look great too, that's just icing on the cake.
Here are a few of my favorite finds...a few even made it onto my own wish list. I'll let you know what Santa brings me. The best part? You find all of these items online.
Perfect.
1. New Metro Design Beater Blade. Such a good idea. This blade is a scraper/beater fusion. It scrapes the bowl as it mixes, saving you time in your busy schedule.
2. Anthropologie Poppy Ring baking dish. Bake some brownies in this baby, and you'll want to dive in just to show off the pretty inside. FYI, I'm obsessed with Anthropologie.
3. Holiday Cookie Stamps from stampinup.com. I'm fairly certain Santa would love some cookies made with these.
4. Milk Jug measuring cups from Anthropologie. Besides being totally awesome, these measuring cups are pretty enough to leave out on your counter. No rummaging through your drawers for the right sized measuring cup. Oh come on, I know I'm not the only one who does that.
5. Oster MyBlend personal size blender. This blender is perfect for making single serving smoothies. The canister also doubles as a to go cup - complete with lid. Great for busy mornings!
6. Waring Pro Snow Cone Maker. Treat yourself to one of these and you can enjoy snow cones all year long.
Of course, once you get these fabulous gifts, you need to try them out with a recipe or two...purely for quality assurance purposes. Right?

Like these Blackberry Cobbler Bars.
Or this Chocolate Snickers Layer Cake.
With persuasion like this, do you really need any prompting to nab a few of these gift ideas for the kitchen lover in your life? What are some of your favorite gift finds this year? If you've come across something great, leave me a comment and let me know!

Amber I love that gift guide! What a pretty collage- did you design it yourself or use a website to make it?
Those milk jugs have been on my wishlist for so long!
