I love giving gifts just about as much as I love spending time in the kitchen cooking or baking. I also really love putting together gift guides and thinking about which items deserve a place on a well-curated list.
I’ve put together a list of 30 kitchen gift ideas ideas (plus a few bonus items at the end) that would make great gifts for anyone on your list. Everything on this list is something that I use regularly or can recommend without reservation.
Use this gift guide for giving or for hinting. (I will be doing a mix of both, too). I recommend pinning it for later, too, because it’s FULL of great ideas you can use all year long.
25 Kitchen Gift Ideas for $25 or Less
FOR THE BAKER…
I HIGHLY recommend one-piece silicon spatulas. I have several, and often use all of them in one day!
Stainless Steel Measuring Cups
I often get comments about my measuring cups in videos. These measuring cups are similar to mine– shallow and sturdy, easy to clean, and will last a lifetime.
I have been using beeswax wraps for a few years now. I love them for covering cheese, bread, and even cut vegetables. I use this brand and it lasts for years!
Danish Dough Whisk & Bread Lame
I have this set and love it to use with all my sourdough baking. The lame is the best for easy slashing and scoring.
Silicon baking mats are a recent favorite of mine. They are even easier than parchment paper, if you can believe it. I use them for cookies, biscuits, bread, etc.
This bread knife is GREAT. If you don’t already have a quality bread knife, you’ll wonder why you waited so long.
3-Cup Stainless Steel Measuring Cup
I love the look of this, but it could also be great for baking with kids (no breaking) or other jobs in the kitchen.
This tool peels, slices, and cores apples in seconds. It’s amazingly helpful for making apple pies, cinnamon apples, galettes etc.
If you are interested in learning more about natural sweeteners, and having reliable recipes using them, this cookbook is great.
FOR THE HOME CHEF…
We use this pan almost daily. It’s a great addition to a cast iron collection, or a great introduction to cooking with cast iron.
Victorinox Paring Knives
All our knives are Victorinox, including this set of paring knives. They are incredibly useful and great quality.
Beautiful Wooden Cooking Spoons
I could live my wooden spoons, but I wouldn’t want to. Like the silicon spatulas, you can’t really have too many. (Someone please get me these).
Using fresh garlic makes a huge difference in recipes, and this garlic press makes it EASY to have fresh minced garlic. We’ve had this garlic press for years and it’s still going strong!
Cutting boards are so handy, and I use large ones for charcuterie and lunch boards every week. This one even has built in compartments on one side.
A kitchen scale is super helpful for more precise cooking and baking, and is one of those items you never knew you needed…until you really do.
Pinch bowls are a great gift idea for the home cook who “has it all”. They’re really handy for prepping ingredients, and work as dip bowls too.
I went back and forth for a couple of years before deciding to get an immersion blender, but as soon as I got one, I wished I hadn’t waited so long–especially since it’s so inexpensive!
A good digital thermometer is a must-have for safe, accurate cooking!
FOR THE INSTANT POT FAN…
A strainer basket is great for cooking eggs, vegetables, reheating ribs, etc. It’s incredibly helpful for making stock in your Instant Pot too.
Coriningware 1.5QT Round Baking Dish
I use this dish most frequently for pot-in-pot cooking in my Instant Pot. It’s handy for so many things!
A pair of stacking trivets are great for pot-in-pot cooking. I use these for several recipes in my cookbook.
Set of Ramekins
Ramekins have lots of uses around the kitchen, but they are essential for making creme brûlée in the Instant Pot. This is my favorite set. All six ramekins can fit in the 6qt Instant Pot.
Family Meal from Scratch in Your Instant Pot
76 Instant Pot specific recipes from scratch for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and more! This cookbook is a great resource for anyone who loves real food AND their Instant Pot! Get more details here.
FOR THE KIDS IN THE KITCHEN…
This knife is perfect for little hands who want to help prep ingredients and chop their own apples for an afternoon snack. I often throw it in our picnic basket too.
Lego Molds & Gummy Animals Mold
My kids love these molds for gummies, ice, chocolates, etc.
Ultimate Kids Cookbook & Ultimate Kids’ Baking Book
I love these cookbooks that Tiffany Dahle and her girls have put together are wonderful. They are written FOR kids to use and follow themselves. They are FULL of tips and important things to know for any young cook. Be prepared to hand over the kitchen.
Sharks Waterproof Apron & Fashion Apron
How fun is this shark apron?! And the girls’ apron…Gorgeous!
Gift kids with a set of fun cookie cutters to bake and have fun in the kitchen!
FOR THE COFFEE & TEA ENTHUSIASTS…
A French Press is an EASY and portable way to make great coffee.
Moka Pot Stovetop Espresso Moka Pot 
{currently unavailable, but I can’t bring myself to take it off the list. Hopefully back in stock soon!}
We use this stovetop espresso maker multiple times a day to make our coffee. This is a great gift for anyone who enjoy a good cup of coffee!
Professional Whipped Cream Dispenser
This is on my personal wishlist after seeing Kate from Venison for Dinner use it so often on Instagram!
Take your homemade coffee and tea up a notch!
This ingenious tea infuser has a lid to keep the tea warm, and then to use as a place to rest the infuser when you remove it from the mug!
2 Liter Stainless Steel Electric Kettle
Speed up the coffee and tea making process with an electric tea kettle. (This is on my list!)
FOR THE DESIGN LOVER…
I love the design on these tea towels! (There are several others available too). New towels in the kitchen are an easy and inexpensive way to bring in something new and fun periodically.
As functional as a towel is, it’s still nice to have a collection of pretty tea towels. I replace ours periodically, replacing the stained, dingy towels with fresh ones that make being in the kitchen just a little more pleasant.
Oversized Butcher-Striped Apron
Every kitchen needs an apron on hand, and this classic design works for men or women.
Lots of hand washing goes on in the kitchen. This handmade soap will help keep hands soft.
Bonus Kitchen Gift Ideas ::
These kitchen gift ideas are a little more than $25 (though not much), but are definitely still worth mentioning. We use each of these every single day and I highly recommend them all.
We keep our salt crock full of kosher salt for cooking and seasoning as meals. I have a yellow one and get so many comments about it!
I love this market tote! How fun to gift this with some yummy goodies inside!
A great knife is one of the first things I recommend to people who say they don’t really enjoy cooking. A sharp, good-quality knife is one of the most important tools to have in the kitchen. I have been using this Victorinox knife for years, after reading a recommendation in America’s Test Kitchen.
How fun is this fondue pot?! My kids would love this!
These come in right hand and left hand options, and in a lot of different color combinations. We love ours!
