43 Gift Ideas for the Food Lovers in Your Life

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: holiday shopping season! We’ve rounded up an arsenal of gifts for all of the food lovers in your life, from those who are just getting comfortable in the kitchen to those who love to throw a good party. Curious what to get them this year? Read on for 44 delicious gift picks.

For the Cooking Newbie

Our six-piece Hybrid pan set is great for anyone who’s just finding their footing in the kitchen. It includes a smaller pan for eggs, one they’ll reach for daily use, and one for a crowd–all with matching lids. Set them up with a sharp chef’s knife (they’ll thank you later when prep work becomes a breeze), or really kit them out with a 7-piece knife set for all their slicing needs. A large cutting board will come in handy for prep, too. Make sure they learn the art of seasoning with a duo of hand-harvested Jacobsen Salt Co. salts and give them plenty of cooking inspiration with a copy of Samin Nosrat’s second book, Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share With People You Love.

For the Pro-Level Cook

If they love spending time at the stove, give them the gift they’ll probably never give themselves: the Ultimate Everything Collection. It’s got Hybrid pots and pans, as well as an entire knife set, mixing bowls and specialty cookware, too. Speaking of specialty cookware, round out their collection with a 6.5-quart Hybrid Dutch oven (for stews and braises) or a large Hybrid roasting pan with a rack (for all those impressive roasts they’re planning). Since they’re in the kitchen so much, they’ll appreciate the utility of a splatter screen for keeping those counters clean. And why not treat them to the ultimate splurge: a gift set of Roe caviar to dollop on their latest creations.

For the Consummate Host

Folks who love to entertain will go gaga for our gorgeous walnut end grain charcuterie board, which doubles as a sturdy surface for prep work and a show-stopping centerpiece for cheese boards and the like. Make sure their table is set for their next steak night with a set of Japanese Damascus steel steak knives, available in green or espresso to match their favorite colorscape. They’ll also appreciate a durable and stylish Eco Modern Apron to make sure their clothes stay splatter-free at their next soiree. Give them some inspo for their next spread with an assortment of tinned fish from Siesta Co. and ideas for a themed get-together with Party People, the new cookbook from actor Brie Larson and former Momofuku culinary director Courtney McBroom.

For the Tech Lover

Gadget fans will marvel at the technology behind our HexMill grinders–so why not hook them up with our entire HexMill collection bundle? They’ll season to their heart’s content both in the kitchen and at the table. They’ll also appreciate the tech that goes into our Hybrid pans (which feature our proprietary TerraBond™ technology), so consider an Essentials Bundle so they can experience the great sear and easy cleanup for themselves with a pot and a pan. Let them put their mad-kitchen-scientist skills to the test with a Ninja Creami, which turns just about anything into ice cream or soft serve.

For the Grill Master

If they’d rather be grilling right now, get them a Hybrid BBQ grill pan, which lets them get all the smoky flavor without food falling through the grates. (It cleans up like a charm, too.) Take it one step further and treat them to an 8-piece BBQ tool set, which has all the bells and whistles for open-flame success. Grilling can get messy, so set them up with an Eco Modern apron (which has a handy pocket to hold their phone) and they’ll surely appreciate a stainless steel mixing bowl set for all of their marinades and side dishes. Make sure their meat always lands at the right temperature with a super-techy combustion predictive thermometer.

For the Brunch Aficionado

Hook them up with a 13” Hybrid griddle, which is ideal for when they’re scrambling a bunch of eggs or making a short stack of flapjacks. If they also love to host, our Hybrid double burner griddle is up to the task of cooking for a crowd, with enough room to cook pancakes on one side and sizzle up bacon on the other. Our 8-piece griddle tool set will really establish them for breakfast-time success, with a wide turner and egg rings for when they want to whip up the perfect breakfast sandwich. And don’t forget about our starter knife set: They’ll thank you the next time they’re slicing a bunch of bagels, since our ingenious sandwich knife is built for the task. Make sure their coffee game is equally on-point with a Baratza Encore coffee grinder, which has 40 settings.

For the Health Nut

Our steamer basket set makes steaming veggies, dumplings and more a breeze (and they nest for easy cleanup). They’ll be able to make veg-heavy soups and healthy protein braises in our spacious,  5.5QT deep sauté pan, while our 14" wok will come in handy when they want a big bowl of stir-fried veggies over grains or rice. Our super-sharp nakiri blade makes prep work effortless, especially when it comes to slicing hard veggies, while a great paring knife makes easy work of garnishes and slicing fruit when it’s snack o’clock. Help them live the healthful life but do it luxuriously with the Garden Set from Flamingo Estate; it comes with wildflower honey and heritage extra-virgin olive oil, as well as some self-care goodies.

For Your Favorite Pizza Person

They’ll get the crust of their dreams every time with our lightweight Hybrid pizza steel, which heats more quickly than other pizza stones and steels and is oven-safe up to 900 degrees. (Translation: It can even go on the grill.)  Make sure they’re entirely kitted out with our pizza steel accessory set, which has a server, a cutter and a cutting board that doubles as a serving piece. A hot mitt set will help them protect their hands when they’re pulling pizzas out of the oven. Give them a shortcut for their next great pie with a copy of legendary pizzaiolo Frank Pepe’s new book Pizza Chef.

Stocking Stuffers

No one would ever be mad at a brand-new pair of oven mitts. Any level of cook will love a HexMill pepper grinder (and psst, the tabletop set could easily fit in a stocking). Set them up for the season with a selection of cozy beverages from Diaspora Co., or treat your favorite martini lover to set of cutesy Everything Picks from Big Night.
