Pizza Paddle by Eva Solo \\\ $79

Dania Cutting Board by Skagerak \\\ From $125
Any cook will tell you that recipe prep is as important as cooking itself. So, it’s only right to gift them the best tools for the job. The Dania Cutting Board by Skagerak is a great holiday gift that your kitchen-savvy recipient won’t want to cook without. Sustainably made using combined pieces of teak, each cutting board is totally unique and features a tiled look due to the mixture of grains. The teak finish even boasts moisture- and bacteria-resistant properties – boosting the durability of the board so the cook in your life can chop and dice happily for years to come.
Anton Strainer Bowl by Caveman Factory \\\ $20
The cook in your life will be delighted to unwrap the Anton Strainer Bowl by Caveman Factory this holiday season. A Design Milk community favorite, the Anton bowl is a culmination of 4 essential kitchen tools into one – strainer, bowl, serving dish and funnel – which helps keep the kitchen efficient while saving on space. Use it to rinse and clean produce (it helps reduce water usage by 60%!), and strain pasta straight from your kitchen counter without having to worry about cross contamination with bacteria in your sink. Pretty genius huh?
Bunch Banana Stand by BENDO \\\ $50
We love the modern yet playful vibe of the BUNCH Banana Stand by Bendo. BENDO consistently celebrates creativity and functionality in all of their pieces and this quirky banana stand is no different. Featuring clean lines and a geometric shape, the BUNCH keeps bananas from bruising and assists the ripening process by allowing air circulation from all angles. Stylish but not at all stuffy, the banana stand will add a minimal look to your favorite cook’s kitchen countertop and will perfectly complement existing decor.

When you’re done, just flip it inside out and toss it in your dishwasher for a safe and effective clean (the rounded edges keep bacteria from sticking around). Easy!
Beast Blender + Hydration Bottle by Beast Health \\\ $185
Powered by innovative technology and driven by modern design, the Beast Blender by Beast Health is a holiday gift that will get the cook in your life excited about wellness again. Unlike traditional blenders, the B10 puts the “smooth” in smoothies in no time at all thanks to smart internal monitors that track blade speed as it blends (there is a 1-minute blending cycle that gets the job done every time). Plus, the Hydration Bottle allows you to enjoy your creations while on the go and preserve natural flavors with its infusion core. As if it couldn’t get any better, the Beast Blender boasts a simple, slim design that saves space on your countertop and is incredibly easy to use.

Blue Small Bottle Grinder Set by MENU \\\ $80
We love this grinder set by MENU for its unconventional bottle-like shape and modern ceramic finish. An unexpected design for spice grinders, their bottle shape is cleverly designed to surprise viewers with its functionality. Not only does the set look beautiful on your countertop, but the cook in your life will love the power and ease of the grinding mechanism inside. A multipurpose holiday gift, your recipient can also use the grinders with a variety of other dried spices and fruits even. Simply fill them with your preferred ingredient and grind away, the rubberized base makes twisting (and clean up) easy. It’s available in a variety of soft colors, but the cool blue ceramic is at the top of our holiday wish lists.
Geometric Trivet by Aaron Probyn \\\ $92
The Geometric Trivet by Aaron Probyn may be borderline ornamental in its beauty but is also incredibly useful in the kitchen.
