Perfect for the coffee lover in your life, this mini French press brews a single cup of coffee. Its fine mesh filter extracts the best flavors from grounds and keeps them out of your cup. One shopper called the French press “perfect” but advised using a wooden spoon to stir in the delicate glass container. Another said it’s a “game-changer” that’s just the right size for travel. 

Maldon Sea Salt Flakes

Maldon’s coarse, flaky sea salt is a chef favorite because it lends flavor and texture to any dish. Add a pinch to a buttered baked potato, sprinkle it on chocolate desserts, or use it as a rub to give seared meat an extra crunch. At $7 for an 8.5-ounce box, you might want to gift one to yourself.

New England Stories Powerful Milk Frother Wand

Milk frothers aren’t just for latte drinkers. Besides foaming milk, they’re great for whisking eggs, emulsifying dressings, and mixing matcha. Shoppers purchased this wand more than 10,000 times last month, saying it does an impressive job for the price. One reviewer said the gadget lets them create café-level drinks and helps relieve stress. “Watching that milk turn into cloud-like froth? Therapeutic,” they said.

Brown Sugar Bear Brown Sugar Saver and Softener

We’ve all reached into the cupboard to find brown sugar as hard as a rock. The Brown Sugar Bear helps to keep it pillowy soft. Just soak the terracotta bear in water, pat it dry, and add it to an airtight container of brown sugar. The bear slowly releases moisture to prevent clumping for up to six months. “This little guy is adorable and, in the past few months, I have not had a single issue with hard brown sugar,” said a customer. 

Hoewina 5-Piece Silicone Spatula Set

Whether you want to help a loved one ditch their black plastic utensils or give them tools they’ll use every day, you can’t go wrong with this non-toxic set. It includes a spoon spatula for stirring and serving, a large spatula for folding ingredients and scraping mixing bowls, a long spatula for turning food, a jar scraper, and a small spatula for mixing dressings and marinades. The spatulas are “reliable, practical, and built to last,” said a customer, adding that the multicolor design adds a fun touch to the kitchen.

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Basil Soy Candle

If your giftee is a fan of Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap, they’ll love the brand’s basil-scented candle, which comes in a decorative green tin. The soy wax candle has a 12-hour burn time and a fresh scent that will brighten up any kitchen. “This candle scent is amazing,” said a shopper. These candles are also available in other signature Mrs. Meyer’s scents, like huckleberry, peony, and lavender. 

Stasher Silicone Reusable Bag

Who needs single-use plastic when you can use a sturdy silicone version again and again? This 12-ounce reusable Stasher bag is perfect for storing snacks and packing into lunch boxes. Even better, they’re safe to use in the dishwasher, microwave, and freezer.

Desktop Electric Mug Warmer

When you’re busy working on a computer, it’s easy for coffee or tea to get cold before you’ve had time to finish it. This electric mug warmer is for anyone who wants to take their time sipping hot beverages or soup. Plug it in, switch it on, and it heats up just enough to keep contents at their optimal temperature. “When five to 10 minutes is up, the coffee is hot and it will stay hot to the very last drop,” said a reviewer. The compact gadget also doubles as a candle warmer.

Awklim Instant Read Meat Thermometer

This popular instant-read thermometer makes a great gift for your favorite griller, baker, candy maker, or budding chef. It provides an accurate temperature read in seconds and has a backlight for better visibility. The handle even has a meat temperature chart to ensure that results are perfect. “Just get it,” urged a customer. “You won’t be sorry.”

Husfunov Butter Crock

Give them the gift of better butter with this ceramic dish. Storing butter in a crock on the counter is the best method for keeping it soft and spreadable, after all. Just fill the base with cold water, pack one stick of softened butter into the lid, and place the lid onto the base for an airtight seal. “It keeps my butter so soft and so fresh for so long,” a shopper said of the butter bell.

Aichoof Avocado Slicer

“Avocado hand” is a real thing, but this slicer helps prevent any slip-ups that might send you to the emergency room. It has a tough plastic blade that can slice an avocado’s skin but not yours, and a stainless steel pitter that plucks out the seed with a twist. The plastic fan blade at the bottom lets you scoop out creamy slices in a snap. “This is seriously one of the best little kitchen tools you could ask for,” said a reviewer.

Paracity 17-Ounce Insulated Water Bottle

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to find a top-notch water bottle. This one has a sleek, modern design with double-walled insulation to keep hot drinks hot for up to 12 hours and cold drinks cold for up to 24. But what really sets it apart is the included strainer, said a shopper. “I can steep loose-leaf tea or infuse fruits and herbs without worrying about loose particles getting in the way,” they said. 

Ibayam Kitchen Scissors, Set of 2

“I would never want to be in a kitchen without them,” a shopper said of IIbayam’s razor-sharp kitchen shears. Food & Wine contributor Lindsay Parrill and her husband both work in the food industry and swear by these scissors. “Whether we’re breaking down chicken, chopping herbs, or opening a package of bacon, these shears are the ones we reach for,” she said. “They’re comfortable, made from quality stainless steel, and have lasted us years despite frequent use.”  

Hotec Silicone Fish Spatula Set

Don’t let the name fool you — a fish spatula is also good for flipping burgers, pancakes, eggs, and anything else you’re frying. The angled blade makes it especially good for lifting delicate ingredients, while the slots allow oil to drain through. One shopper said this “high-quality and very durable” set of large and small silicone spatulas has “really helped my cooking game.”
