This is the blender of all blenders. Very powerful and intuitive, this will do so much more than smoothies. From nut butters and sauces to soups and batters, it makes so many tasks much faster and easier. I use mine almost every day!

The Instant Pot is a pressure cooker slow cooker, steamer, rice cooker, steamer, saute pan, yogurt maker, and warmer all in one!

Knife Set
This 3-piece professional grade knife set comes with a paring knife, a mid-sized blade, and a heavy duty chef’s knife for any kitchen task. These are my favorite knives that I use daily. There’s also a larger set here if you prefer to give a whole block for your holiday gifts.

0Oh My….what a list of fantastic gifts….Since I live alone with tiny space, I would pick the Crockpot Food warmer, Mug warmer, and/or The desk mini fridge or warmer for my daughter who drives 35-40 miles to work every day in heavy traffic and works 14 hours a day usually. I think any of these would be very beneficial to her and certainly the joy of giving is enough for me to be happy.
