Have you ever gone to someone’s home for a party, and noticed that all the guests have congregated in the kitchen? For those who love to cook, a well designed and decorated kitchen can be the heart of their home. If this sounds like someone you’re shopping for, here are some gifts to consider.

  

Blackbird Baked in a Pie

Remember the old nursery rhyme about “four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie”? Well, this pie dish is a simply charming depiction of that event that is sure to put some grins on faces. To meet the needs of a discerning baker, the dish and bird are both made from oven and dishwasher safe, ceramic stoneware. 

 

 

Napa-inspired Cruets Set

If the cook you’re shopping for also happens to enjoy a good glass of wine, then this cruet set is could be the perfect gift for them. Fill the outer part of the container with extra virgin olive oil, and the inner part with balsamic vinaigrette to make this useful condiment dispenser look like a bunch of ripe grapes hanging in the sun. Best of all, it’s a set of two, so they can keep one in the kitchen and another in the dinning room.

 

 

Infusion Pitcher

Lemon water, raspberry ice tea, strawberry limeade, sangria, mojitos, and more! A true foodie knows that drinks have as much opportunity for culinary mastery as food. This pitcher is specially designed to allow the essences of fruit and, for the daring, herbs to infuse into a drink. Unlike a punch bowl, this pitcher is easy to store and keeps drinks free of floating debris, like pulp and leaves.

dinosaur_sea_salts

Dinosaur Sea Salts
They are full of minerals that help modern-day men release tensions and really relax. These salts, once a part of a vast inland sea that covered the land where Green Valley now stands, are purified from their natural state as they were condensed and fossilized eons ago when dinosaurs walked the earth. More than just a delightful way to release tight, tense muscles, aching joints and troubling thoughts, these bath salts offer valuable healing properties to help decrease swelling, firm skin and restore elasticity and stimulate new cell growth.
Organic ingredients include mineral salts, potato powder (which is actually used as a healing agent for burn victims), powdered pearls, bicarbonate of soda and pure, infused essential oils.
Price: $5 for a 2-ounce packet to $24 for one pound

3-wahl-lithium-ion-grooming-tool

Wahl Lithium Ion Grooming Kit

WAHL Clipper Corporation recently introduced the first men’s grooming tool to harness the power of lithium ion technology – the most technologically advanced rechargeable battery available. Interchanging heads allow for beard trimming, ear and nose hair detailing, shaving, hair clipping and all other necessary grooming.
With twice the voltage of equivalent sized nickel metal hydride (NiMh) battery cells, Wahl’s Lithium Ion trimmer is able to offer twice the torque of their standard rechargeable trimmers to deliver a close, clean and efficient trim.

The trimmer is also environmentally smart. Unlike other trimmers, lithium ion is ready to go right out of the box – there‘s no need to prime the new battery. The batteries have low self-discharge, require no maintenance due to limited memory issues and contain specialty cells that provide higher current, which equals more power.

Price: $47.99
