When thinking about gifts for this holiday season, I thought it would be fun to touch on some of my favorite random kitchen gadgets of the past year. These are perfect for someone who loves to cook but has it all. These aren’t your average pans or coffee mugs! These are super useful tools that you might never have even heard of with a few basics thrown in!

Stoneware Pizza Baking Stone: While this is a basic staple in most kitchens, this is the perfect gift for your friend just out of college or that newly married couple who is still trying to cook for themselves. Not too hard to store & practically indestructible, this is step one to a fabulous pizza at home!

Pineapple Easy Slicer: Awesome little tool for those that love pineapple! Not only will this make using fresh pineapple a snap by pretty much eliminating all of the work but you’re left with a hollowed out pineapple! Ryan often serves me some kind of tropical concoction inside!

Magic Bullet : If you’re looking to get someone a bigger gift, the Magic Bullet set is likely your answer! It blends, chops, & mixes everything from smoothies to ice with little mess & simple cleanup. Perfect for newlyweds, new mothers, or anyone looking to save some time. Bonus? The containers you mix in can be put in the fridge or used as a cup!

Amco Rub Away Bar: This might seem kind of silly, but it works! This will remove bad smells from your hands, everything from onions to seafood. I keep it by my sink & use it frequetly!

Mango Splitter: We love mangoes…in fact it is a bit ridiculous. So much of the fruit is wasted cutting into it but this really helps! This glides around the pit then you simply scoop it out of the peel!

Adjustable Tablespoon: This little baby is so handy, especially when measuring a lot of different spices at once. You just adjust it for everything below a tablespoon! Great gift for someone who doesn’t cook much as well, it takes up so little space & serves lots of sizes!

Misto Gourmet Olive Oil Sprayer: We haven’t bought expensive spray olive oil in years! This  is so genius that we gave it as gifts to multiple people last year! Just add oil, twist shut, pump to remove air, & spray! I recommend twisting the top after you’re done every time, it helps to keep it from clogging up. We haven’t had problems & have had it for years!

I linked all of the products on Amazon (so you can check them out!) but I have picked most of these up either there or from Bed, Bath, & Beyond! Do you use any of these gadgets? Have any you think I’d like?
