Gift Guide: For the Home
We have a very small home and especially a small kitchen. These are items I think are well worth the price and space in our home. Some we have had and used for 4 years.
Shopping Links:
Kitchen Scale: This isn’t anything exciting, but I do use this pretty much every single day. The digital screen is retractable so this is perfect for any container you’re measuring from. I am a macro tracker- but I do also use this for measuring while baking/cooking when needed.
Hamilton Bread Machine: This was gifted to me last Christmas and it’s one of my favorite kitchen appliances. I love fresh, warm, homemade bread. And we have tried to do more homemade foods over the past year, so this has been perfect. Super easy to use and a good price point! You can make a lot more than just bread in this, too!
Kitchen Aide Pasta Attachment: Another gift I received last year and I was thrilled!!! I grew up having homemade pasta nights with my family, but never had a way of making it on my own. Homemade pasta is just sooo much better. A bit pricey, but well worth it in my opinion! **Currently $40 off for Black Friday!
Ninja Blender: Another item I use basically everyday. It comes with a large container as well as two single-serving cups with lids. I use this for my smoothies, or as a food processor to make pesto/peanut butter/sauces, etc… We’ve had this for 3-4 years and it is still in perfect condition. **Currently on sale for $109
Charcuterie Board: I actually don’t have this particular one (mine is super old and no longer sold). But, this would make such a great gift for someone who likes to host. Pair it with a bottle of wine and a good jam or spread. I also think this would be great for teachers/friends/co-workers or in-laws. This also has 5 stars on Amazon (1700+ reviews).
Ninja Coffee Maker: My #1 pick on this gift guide! I am obsessed with this coffee maker! It looks a bit intense at first, but it’s surprisingly easy to use. This can make espresso style drinks, single-serve to full pot, and also has a frother that swings out from the back. I have also noticed the taste of coffee is much better than with our last coffee maker. Highly, highly recommend. **Currently $50 off for Black Friday- cheapest I’ve ever seen it!
Sunrise Alarm Clock: This is so helpful to have if you wake up feeling exhausted or struggle to get up to your alarm in the mornings. It mimics the sunrise by gradually increasing the light in your room. A lot more peaceful than waking up to an obnoxious beeping alarm.
Dyson Cordless Vacuum: A must have. We even have two German Shepherds and it works great for all their hair. I love that it’s portable and takes up little space. **Currently $100 off for Black Friday.
Mini Frother: This last one is another item I use daily. I use this to froth my coffee, or mix protein shakes. Makes a big difference in the texture and I love that I can just keep in out on the counter since I use it so frequently. Gift it with their favorite protein powder or some coffee/hot cocoa packets and some mini marshmallows. Also a great stocking stuffer.
