This Week’s Finds

Still looking for “the” gift? This Breville Smart Oven Fryer Pro, Convection Countertop Oven, Air Fryer and Toaster could be it. On sale at 25% off retail and delivered before Christmas. HO HO HO. You know she wants it and the white KitchenAid 4.5 quart stand mixer is on sale for just $249 and WILL be delivered before Christmas…buy hurry!

These gifts might arrive right after Christmas, but no foodie on your list is going to mind. High quality kitchen finds are always appreciated no matter when they arrive. I’m loving this Brightland’s California Olive Oil duo (the flavor is amazing!). The Garlic Chip Chili Sauce will spice up any recipe and will give them something to look forward too.

These items also made it to my gift giving list this year: this mortar and pestle set WILL get there before Christmas and is a must in all foodies’ kitchens, as is this ThermoPro Digital Thermometer. On sale and you’ll have it before Christmas. Talk about the perfect stocking stuffer!

Sending friends some fun items for those stay at home nights like this cocktail shaker bar set and this Dash hot air popcorn maker. Staying in for New Year’s Eve never looked so good!

I also just sent this Sous Vide Precision Cooker to a foodie who has had it on her bucket list for awhile…and it will get there before Christmas! Did I mention it is on sale for 40% off? Need something special for that someone special? This Breville Espresso Machine might be just the ticket. Save $200 now and get it before Christmas! (You are welcome!)

For the brunch lovers on your list, I found two items that you can get before Christmas and they are both on sale. This Cuisinart Waffle Maker and/or this crepe pan set, would be the perfect gifts for under the tree.

For the fashionista in your foodie circle, this Kate Spade Toaster adds a little somethin’ somethin’ to your kitchen. And for the girl on the go, this portable 20 Oz. Crockpot / Electric Lunchbox (in multiple colors) makes bringing a warm meal to the office or on a car trip a piece of cake (and it looks good too!).

A jumbo black and white polka dot mug has so many uses and it an elegant touch to anyone’s mug collection.

Need some last minute items for entertaining? There is still time. Make sure you have flatware for the occasion and amber tinted glasses to complete your tablescape.

Have your champagne flutes ready for New Year’s Eve and an ice bucket ready to chill your beverages of choice. Still not sure what to serve? See my post on Prosecco vs. Crément…France’s “other” less expensive option to champagne. It will give Prosecco a run for it’s money at your next event.

Be sure you have plenty of appetizer and dessert plates ready for your parties. I love these disposable black and gold plates…elegant enough for any party but without the worry of breaking or cleanup. Have gold toned disposable flatware and you have a fast and easy party set up.

Don’t forget the plastic black and gold cups and paper napkins too. All available before the holidays for easy, stress free entertaining.

For my dream kitchen, this Ruffoni Copper 11-piece cookware set is a must. If you are looking for that one gift to WOW, this is it. On sale now.

There is nothing more beautiful than the copper pots and braisers made by Ruffoni. Each one’s design is impecable and I love that you can customize the knobs. This Ruffoni 4-quart chef’s pot with stag knob is a favorite and has been on my Wish List for awhile.

Doing a buffet or serving things family style? This is my new go to heating tray. It keeps everything warm and looks good while it’s doing it!

Also available before Christmas is the small Magic Bullet…a must for all the juicers in your life. The 11-piece set is on sale for just $39.88. For another great stocking stuffer, grab a wine opener and tuck it into that stocking. Add a bottle of wine and have a complete gift for friends and neighbors.

Some of my other favorite stocking stuffer ideas are this citrus juicer and my all-time favorite milk frother! I’ve been giving these for years..add a bag of coffee, or a tin of hot chocolate mix, or tuck this under the tree with a note that the Breville Espresso Maker is on it’s way, and you’ve got a fun gift for just $5.88. I use mine all the time.

One last note on memorable stocking stuffers, nothing beats food oriented Christmas Tree ornaments for the foodies in your life. Take a look at my seasonal shop and see some of my favorites.

Embossed Rolling Pin Shortbread Cookies has always been a popular recipe on my blog and all you need is my recipe and an embossed rolling pin. I have several different ones for different seasons but they make amazing cookies and work as a great gift for the bakers in your life too.

I bet there is a meat lover on your list and do I have a “find” for you! Flannery Beef here in California has some of the best ribeye steaks I’ve ever had. See how I Reverse Seared a Ribsteak and topped it with butter! YUMMO!

They have a 3-inch thick Jorge Ribsteak that is to die for! Any carnivore will love it as a gift…even if it arrives after Christmas!

And that’s a wrap for December and for 2024! I’m looking forward to the new year and hope you are too. Take a look around on my GREAT FINDS page and on my other shop pages. Browse and enjoy! Happy Holidays.
