The Most Wished For Small Appliances

Of course, it wouldn’t be a kitchen items post if I didn’t include an air fryer. Personally, I don’t ‘get’ the obsession over this, but people like it and want it. But even more exciting, this Kitchen Aid mixer comes with 10 different attachments including a PASTA MAKER! I’ve wanted one of these for years, but I absolutely added that specific model and color to my Amazon wish list! And we also have the classic 6 quart crockpot. A crockpot is one of those kitchen items that can never be a disappointment, so it’s always a safe option.

If those don’t appeal to you or the person you’re shopping for, here are a few other options that I know I would be happy to receive. (The ice cream maker is the exact one that I have- read my review here, or head here for recipes.)

Kitchen Gadgets

This meat thermometer is a must for any home chef. And I will say, opening and closing it multiple times is quite fun. This sous vide from Breville works with an app on our phone so that you can keep an eye on your food from anywhere in the house. And then we have a food dehydrator. This can be used to make all sorts of snacks, or even toppings for oatmeal or similar food.

And if those items don’t appeal to you, check out these other kitchen gadgets!

The Basics

Have you considered gifting basic kitchen items? If you do, you know they’ll be used and wont sit in the back of a closet collecting dust. Cast iron pots and pans seem to be more popular lately, and this dutch oven or this skillet are great staples. Plus, the dutch over comes in nice color options. Or, give the gift of fresh salad with this salad spinner. I this model is the one I use and I love it. I hate buying bagged salad and this makes the process of making a fresh salad less daunting.

But don’t worry if you don’t like those options. I still have more great kitchen gift ideas that will enhance any kitchen!
