If you have a chef in your family, fill their stockings with cool and unique kitchen gifts to make their cooking experiences brighter. This Christmas, give your budding chef the tools they need to make their time in the kitchen more enjoyable.

Before heading to the nearest kitchen stores, make a list of all the things your chef has and has mentioned needing in the past few weeks. Knowing what your chef already has in the kitchen can help eliminate those awkward moments when she opens a gift she already has. Making a list can help you see what’s missing or what additional items are now available to improve an appliance, like a new attachment for a stand mixer or a new mix for a cake pop maker.

For the baker in your family, consider stuffing your stockings with novelty baking pans, such as cake or donut pans.

For the sock, why not wrap up a set of pie weights, so the baker can keep the crust from bubbling up? Collapsible measuring cups make storage easy and are easy to clean, ensuring cooking runs smoothly. Other great stocking stuffers are smaller items like cake testers, bowl scrapers, and a set of durable spatulas.
