The holidays are here which means it’s time to get shopping! Every year I put together a Holiday Gift Guide which has some of my favorite things in the kitchen, related to food, and just random things we are loving.

Whether you’re looking for something for a foodie, a chef, or your best friend – there is something for everyone on this list. The best part.. you can get it all online so you don’t have to deal with the craziness at the stores!

Affordable Best Kitchen Gadgets

These gadgets are great for smaller gifts or even stocking stuffers. Everything is priced under $25 🙂

Spiralizer with butternut squash on it.

  • Crock-Pot (less than $20)- I don’t know what I would do without ours! I use it at least twice a week. It makes meal prep 100x easier and quicker! Everyone should have one. (and I like it WAY better than the instant pot!)
  • Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mats (less than $10) make cookie baking, veggie roasting, and meal prep so easy. No wasting parchment paper.. or cleaning dirty baking sheets! One of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten.
  • Collapsible Measuring Cups (less than $11) are super cool. Measuring cups take up an awkward amount of space in the cabinets, so being able to flatten them is awesome.
  • ChopStir (less than $8) – If you cook ground meat, you NEED THIS!
  • Olive Oil Sprayer (less than $20) – refillable olive oil sprayer makes cooking SO easy and it’s ecofriendly!)
  • Beeswrap (less than $19)- Like saran wrap, except you reuse it!
  • Food Processor (less than $14)- This cheap little food processor is AMAZING for chopping veggies. I pretty much only cut onions/garlic using that because it’s just so easy!
  • Food Prep Containers (less than $25) – These are great for people to prep + take their meals to go!

Higher Priced Best Kitchen Gadgets

If you’re looking to get a more expensive, bigger gift – these are some things that any chef will love!!

  • KitchenAid Mixer – This is hands down my FAVORITE kitchen tool. I use it every day, multiple times a day. I seriously love it!! 100% worth the investment. I got this for Christmas last year and it was the best gift!!
  • Nespresso– Another one of my favorite kitchen tools 🙂 We have had ours for YEARS. It’s amazing. You will save SO much money on coffee by making it at home. Plus you can make things like this Paleo Pumpkin Spice Latte with it!

Easy Vegan Paleo Pumpkin Spice Latte in a grey mug with a plaid linen and pumpkin in the background.

  • Air Fryer  I don’t have one but everyone raves about them! 
  • Vitamix  – I have one and I do love it! I make almond milk in it every week. I don’t use a blender very often so would only recommend this if you use it on the daily because they are pretty pricy!

Best Gifts for Foodies:

Is ButcherBox Worth It?

  • Pizza Oven: We are OBSESSED with our pizza oven from Authentic Pizza Ovens. We use it weekly and not only is it so fun, but the pizza is AMAZING!
  • Trade Coffee Subscription. I wrote this Trade Coffee Review earlier this year. They deliver coffee to your doorstep every month and we’ve loved trying new things! They also have awesome gift sets here. 
  • Thrive Market Subscription – Thrive is like Costco, meets Whole foods.. online! There’s a yearly fee like there is for Costco, but it’s reasonably priced for a friend who loves to buy healthy food.
  • Ecofriendly Items – I have tons of my favorite eco-friendly goodiees in this post about 9 Easy Swaps to be more Eco-Friendly!

Random Things we Love!

  • Healthy Human Cruisers are a must for pretty much anyone on your list. I have at least 10 of their cruisers and pretty much drink out of them exclusively. I love the steins for when I need to travel or need more water for throughout the day. We use them for coffee, water, tea…. basically anything! They’re awesome. You can use code CLEANEATING10 for 10% off your purchase on their site or amazon!

We also have specific gift guides that might be helpful for you.

    I’m doing about 50%/50% for my shopping. 50% online and 50% in store. I wasn’t going to go Black Friday shopping, but I did go later with my sisters. The best part? Spending time with my sisters. 🙂 My favorite shopping is DEFINITELY online, although I like shopping if you get to go with people you love! :))0

    I LOVE the slate board and resistance band ideas. My mother-in-law has been asking what I want for Christmas and I couldn’t come up with anything, but now I have some ideas!

    This is a great list, thanks for putting it together! I totally feel you about hating the shopping this time of year. Circling around for parking spots is the worst. I love my foam roller too & need to start using my crock pot more!

    These are great ideas! Ha ha, still cracking up over your opening lines and memes 🙂 I totally feel ya – I always end up scrambling at the last minute! So I love gift guides like this. I’m trying Rocksbox for the first time, so we’ll see how that goes, but it definitely would make a fun gift! Also that beer cap map is AMAZING!! What a cool idea!

    Great guide! I am looking for a spiralizer but not sure if I’ll actually use it. (What can I say? I love noodles!) But i do agree – a crockpot is a must have! (Esp if you have a baby and no time to cook!)

    (Found you off the SPA FB Group post today!)

      Everyone is going crazy for the Swell bottles lately!! I think I need to get one 🙂 The activity trackers are cool! I don’t live by mine like other people do, but it does motivate me to move more throughout the day.

    This is one of the best gift guides I’ve seen this season. I’ll take one of almost everything on the gym rat, chef and foodie list.

    It’s so hard not to get ourselves a little something when prices are sooooo good, right?? Thanks so much for sharing all of these items! I really love the spiralizer (and have been meaning to upgrade from the wee hand one I have now).
