10 ideal gifts for this Christmas

The countdown to Christmas started days ago, and many of you ask us for ideas to get your gifts right. So for all of you who ask us about bestsellers or what can be a safe bet, here are 10 great gift ideas, for every budget and profile:

1. Spirelli XL, the original gift for eating healthily

After the success of the Spirelli vegetable slicer, the brand Gefu has released a special version that is ideal for gifting, the Spirelli XL: they made it slightly larger than the traditional size and present it in a beautiful box together with a slicer.

It's a wonderful gift for cooking lovers who want to prepare green salads, pasta, rice, woks... All seasoned with attractive and healthy spiral-shaped vegetables. The result is spectacular!

2. Chemex coffee maker, for coffee lovers with good taste

Literally a treasure in my kitchen and in the kitchens of everyone who already has one, the Chemex coffee maker is not only a work of art (it's displayed at the MoMA in New York), but thanks to its filters it brews one of the best coffees in the world. No residue, clean, perfect. All at a very affordable price.

Also, there is no coffee maker easier to use: you place the paper filter, a few tablespoons of coffee and boiling water... and it's coffee time!

Important: the charm of the coffee maker is not only its design, but the filtration achieved by its filters. There won't be a complete gift without them.

3. A knife or a pocketknife, suitable for adventurers and cooks

A Pallarès carbon steel knife is an original and also very beautiful gift thanks to its lovely wooden handle. Another option for those who want to always carry it with them is a beautiful pocketknife with olive wood handle.

If you can stretch your budget a little more, there's no greater reward than receiving a beautiful knife Set. A very good option is the Wasabi Black Set since Japanese knives are always a hit. If the gift is for an expert cook and the budget is generous, then a Miyabi knife will leave the chef speechless. In any case there are many options when we talk about knives, you can browse them here.

4. cookware set, It's time to upgrade your utensils!

Many people look for a useful gift and Christmas is the perfect excuse to renew kitchen basics. Without a doubt cookware sets are a very common gift at this time of year: they have a strong presence, they are beautiful and it's a gift that will be used daily.

One of the preferred sets is the WMF Diadem Plus, 5-piece, although the WMF Provence is also very popular. There are other very interesting options here.

5. A wok, for those who don't have time

The wok is one of the most gifted options during Christmas: it's practical, not everyone has one at home, it invites you to make a bunch of quick and healthy recipes and, what the heck, it always brings a smile to the recipient!

We have the traditional carbon steel ones, like the Ken Hom(s) (available in a very complete and affordable Set), or more sophisticated ones, like the Le Creuset enameled iron. If the wok is for a practical person who seeks something easy to use and lightweight, I would recommend the Kuhn Rikon reinforced nonstick.

6. A casserole, for everything and forever

Whether you're a home cook or not, a casserole is a highly coveted gift. A significant investment that more than pays for itself: it will last a lifetime and works for everything. Roasts, meats, fish, soups, purees, pasta, rice... and even for baking cakes!

The most traditional and with a lifetime guarantee is the Le Creuset casserole. The only problem is choosing the color... They're all so pretty!

7. Pressure cooker, to save time and achieve perfect cooking

A pressure cooker is an important investment, and Christmas is the perfect occasion to indulge yourself. So many people take the opportunity to get this treasure.

One of the pots that wins hearts is the WMF Perfect Plus, being the 6,5L and 3L Set one of the most highly rated. Besides this one, there are so many other good options in the Pressure Cooker section.

8. Le Creuset set of 2 frying pans and 1 saucepan

The Set of frying pans and saucepan by Le Creuset is a great gift option to refresh the kitchen essentials. This Set includes two frying pans and a saucepan, all non-stick and with Le Creuset's long warranty.

9. Bread oven, to get incredible bread at home

Baking bread at home is a pleasure, but achieving bakery-quality results is not easy. The Emile Henry ceramic ovens recreate humidity and baking conditions inside that allow you to get a crispy crust and truly tasty bread. It's a perfect gift to surprise bread lovers.

10. A fondue, to enjoy big time and without complications

Another great Christmas classic and a must for weekends and dinners with friends is the fondue. It's a beautiful gift, wrapped in special moments and it will last you a lifetime.

They come in ceramic and iron, all equally beautiful and practical, with the iron ones being more valued because they retain heat better, which keeps the cheese melted for longer (although I'm not very sure you'll give it time to cool down...).

The Boska Pro fondue Set is a fantastic option in terms of value for money, although there are so many options to consider that I think you should take a look at them (here).

NOTE: In the Christmas Shop section you'll find a lot more gift ideas.
