Start Every Day the Right Way

A fresh cup of coffee in the morning helps start the day — and motivates budding chefs to dig into new cookbooks. Gift your foodie a brand-new single-serve coffee maker that provides a hot cup on demand. Fresh flowers are also a must in the kitchen, so add a beautiful vase to your shopping list.

Make Baking Easy

Mastering the art of baking is so much easier when you have the right tools, like a stand mixer that kneads dough, resulting in soft baguettes. And a kitchen timer is a chef's best friend. Make sure all her ingredients stay nice and fresh with clear glass canisters that tuck into cabinets or look lovely on kitchen counters.

Give the Right Tools

A proper set of knives helps make the right cuts when chopping and dicing new recipes. Set your new chef up for years of happy prepping with a cool cutting board that defines the space. A digital kitchen scale takes the guesswork out of following a recipe. Store ingredients in stainless steel mixing bowls, which keep ingredients close while also looking pretty when on display.
