The Gifts Food Network Shopping Editors Are Obsessed With This Year

Current Backyard’s electric appliances are both innovative and sleek, and this pizza oven is a great choice for somebody looking to up their pizza game. It’s operational both indoors and outdoors and can go up to a whopping 850 degrees Fahrenheit, creating a variety of slices from Neapolitan to thin crust in just a few minutes. Plus, because it’s an electric appliance, you don’t have to worry about burning yourself on an open flame.

Sometimes the best gift you can give somebody is something that will make their life easier, and for the hosts in your life, this charcuterie board will do the trick. Our editors have purchased these for their own gatherings and can attest that everybody in attendance was well fed on meats and cheeses. If charcuterie is not their thing, you can also get your loved one a dessert board as a nice vegetarian option that will definitely tie the evening together.

A quality knife set is one of those things that your loved one may not get for themselves, but this set from Made In is absolutely worth the splurge. It includes an editor-tested chef knife, a bread knife and a paring knife, each crafted from a single rod of stainless steel for a balanced blade. The knife block is thin enough to store easily on the countertop and can fit up to four blades.

There’s no denying that Le Creuset’s cookware is both iconic and stylish, which is why it makes the perfect gift for anybody who is into both an aesthetic kitchen and delicious food. Their traditional chef's oven is extremely versatile — from braising to searing to slow cooking and more, you can make practically anything. And the 5.25-quart capacity ensures you’ll never leave guests wanting more when this comes out on the dinner table.

Why get your loved one just any other stand mixer when you can get them one of the best, a KitchenAid one? Their Artisan Stand Mixers are great for churning any kind of baking creation, from cakes to cookies, and are compatible with a variety of accessories — this particular one comes with a pastry beater, Flex Edge beater, coated flat beater, wire whip and dough hook. They may be pricier, but KitchenAid stand mixers are absolutely a “buy it for life” kind of appliance that will leave your friends and family speechless when they receive it.

Skillets can be heavy to maneuver and can tire out a chef, but this seasoned cast iron one from Made In is made with thinner walls for the best ergonomic experience. We particularly like the 8-inch size because it’s great for a single-serve meal — your loved one can easily whip out a fried egg or seared steak for themselves in no time. And here’s a small detail that we really love: The pan has a pour spout on each side of the pan, so whether you’re left-handed or right-handed, they’ve got you covered.

Vitamix is known for their top-tier blenders, but it’s understandable if somebody doesn’t buy it for themselves because of the price tag. If there’s a person in your life you want to splurge for, though, this editor-tested appliance is something worth every penny spent. The Vitamix Explorian is a full-size countertop blender that comes with four stainless steel blades for maximum power. Don’t let its simple design deter you — despite the minimal interface, you can blend at 10 different speeds that will result in a consistent drink, smoothie or sauce every time.

Ninja’s Creami line is an internet favorite, so it’s likely your loved one has seen it in action online at some point. The Deluxe model specifically has 10 preset functions: Italian Ice, Lite Ice Cream, Slushi, Gelato, Sorbet, Frozen Drink, Creamicchino, Frozen Yogurt, Milkshake and Ice Cream. Whether this is a gift for an entire family or one special someone, they can spend hours playing with the many types of treats you can create, and the large capacity means they'll be eating it for days. A win-win!

Here at Food Network, we’re big fans of Caraway’s cookware for their nontoxic ceramic material and wide variety of beautiful colorways. They’ve now delved into the beverage world with their newest creation, the drip coffeemaker. The brand’s clean ethos remains with this sleek machine that comes in their classic colors, along with an easy-to-use single-dial control for easy brewing. You can also use their reusable filter to brew without paper, eliminating waste.

How gorgeous is this Sage Green bakeware set? For the friend that loves a beautiful kitchen and wants something that will go with everything, this 7-piece bakeware set also comes in Oxford Blue and Cream and includes a quarter sheet pan, half sheet pan, cooling rack, muffin pan, loaf pan and two round cake pans. While colorful, they’re not too overstated and won’t clash with other bright items in the kitchen. Plus, the ceramic material makes cleanup effortless and cooking versatile for all kinds of meals.

This editor-tested casserole dish is as versatile as it is beautiful — don’t let the term “casserole dish” sway you into believing it’s only good for making one thing! At 3.75 quarts, you can braise a main dish or bake a hearty dessert while the long oblong shape is great for fitting all your ingredients in one go. We especially like the large loop handles that are wide enough to grip with oven mitts and the sloped sides for easy scoopability. Hosting or not, this is a great staple to get your loved one for their kitchen.

Nothing deserves a little splurge more than the very beginning of your day, which starts with a good cup of coffee. For the caffeine lover in your life, get them a coffee subscription from Trade. They offer more than 400 different coffees to try out, and their gift set allows you to deliver a subscription directly to their inbox or mailbox. Your loved one will be able to get a personalized coffee match and customize their delivery schedule, receiving one bag of coffee a month.

Nothing screams convenience more than cordless appliances, and this one from KitchenAid is small enough to fit inside a drawer. Simply charge up the battery it comes with and attach it to the vacuum to get started. Whether the recipient is prone to a few messes or wants to have a cleaning appliance within an arm’s reach, this practical but effective gift is surely something anyone can enjoy.

MacKenzie-Childs' checker-patterned dishes are favorites among the Food Network editors, and who wouldn’t want one of these gorgeous plates in your home? A simple butter box is a classic, but maybe it's time to help your loved one step it up a notch with one from MacKenzie-Childs. From the traditional Courtly Check to a beautiful Rosy Check, there are so many ways to spice up the countertop with a butter box like this.

Tinned fish has had a moment on the Internet for a bit with Fishwife leading the charge, so why not get your chronically online friend a gift set from them?

Support women-founded businesses and get your loved one an amazingly flavorful gift with this bundle of chili crisp sauces from Fly By Jing. You get four of the brand’s sauces: Original, Xtra Crunchy, Xtra Spicy Sichuan Chili Crisp and Sweet and Spicy Sichuan Chili Sauce. Use each of these sauces just like you would a hot sauce on your meat, eggs or noodles for a bit of an added kick. Plus, the Sweet and Spicy sauce adds a nice hint of tanginess.

Level up a loved one’s cooking game with a set of editor-tested silicone utensils from GIR. This five-piece set includes spoons and spatulas that can withstand temperatures of up to 550 degrees and are able to easily scrape and flip anything that comes their way. There’s also a major plus when it comes to this set: It’s entirely dishwasher safe, which means both easy cooking and easy cleaning.

We bet you and your loved one have never seen a toaster quite like this! This ultra skinny toaster is just 3.58 inches wide, which can fit on any countertop without taking up too much space. Rather than sliding breads next to each other like a wider toaster, this unique one holds bread in two 10-inch slots side-by-side for a longer and slimmer fit. It also has a removable crumb tray for quick cleaning. This gift is certainly tiny, but mighty!

Jams may not be something people splurge on, so imagine a recipient’s face when they realize they can put these gingham-topped jams on their toast every morning after they open this gift. Bonne Maman’s Sampler Gift Tin has nine of their most popular flavors packed in adorable mini jars, which, if you want to be environmentally conscious, you can save and reuse for years to come. There’s nothing better than a burst of fruity sweetness to wake you up before you get started with the day.

This extremely practical gift is a product editors will be carrying in their own homes this holiday season, especially as we get to baking for plenty of hosting and entertaining. This brilliant formula (which won a Clean Home Award from hours of testing at HGTV) breaks down all those pesky and sticky dough pieces on dishes. Your loved one will spend less time soaking their bowls and more time around the fire with you when armed with this patent-pending soap. The brand also recently released a reversible linen bread bag, which would pair perfectly with the soap to complete the ultimate gift for any bread baker in your life.

You can never go wrong with gifting a meat thermometer — while they’re not absolutely essential to have, they can give somebody peace of mind when cooking their protein, especially chicken. This editor-tested option uses Bluetooth to transmit information from the probe directly into your phone through an app that can help you set alerts for desired temperatures or helpful updates. This seamless function, along with its sleek design, adds to the appeal and, while on the pricier side, your loved one will certainly appreciate such a helpful present.

A nice apron is always a great splurge to get for somebody you love, and this one is worth the price. Instead of most aprons, where you tie the straps around your neck, this apron from Hedley & Bennett crisscrosses over the shoulders and behind the back so the wearer is less sore. There are also plenty of pockets to store everything you need, from the two roomy lap pockets to the slot in the chest for a pen or meat thermometer.

You may have heard about avocado oil or olive oil as one of the healthier oils to cook with, but how about algae oil? It’s never too early to start someone’s health journey leading into the New Year, so why not start during the holiday season by getting them a bottle of this unique algae oil? It has a neutral profile and a smoke point of 535 degrees, making it a great searing oil that withstands higher temperatures.

You can never go wrong with filling a stocking with a mug — just be sure to protect it well so that it doesn’t break! Get somebody in your life ready for the holiday spirit with this handmade stoneware mug that looks like a cozy winter quilt. While the mug may be filled with snowflakes, they’ll want to drink cups of hot chocolate from it as it gets colder and real snowflakes begin falling from the sky.

Just like your loved one has made your life sparkle, you can add a little sparkle to their cooking with this packet of Maldon Sea Salt Flakes. It’s surprising how such a small thing can enhance a dish, but believe us when we say that a few crisp flakes to a sweet dessert or grilled meat truly makes a difference. If you get a set of two, it’ll be a while before everything runs out!
