These sturdy kitchen tower stools are absolutely perfect for little bodies and feet. (And, pssssst, also great for grown chefs who are a little on the vertically challenged side.)

7. KitchenAid Attachment Mounts

We could have created and posted this content sooner but we’ll be honest, we were too busy ordering a set of these for our own kitchens!

Comes with three delightful blends of non-GMO corn, and five different seasonings to make your own totally scrumptious snack.

14. Gourmet Salt Collection

Get in my belly! I am a self proclaimed salt addict, and this gourmet salt collection has me jonesing. Every flavor sounds perfect (Smoked Bacon Chipotle, anyone?!), and it even comes with a cute little wooden spoon.

That little spoon is going to go straight into my mouth when I get this. Yes, when. (**Exceeds food budget excitedly**)

15. Mason Jar Herb Garden Set

These adorable little herb garden sets are perfect for the home cook just beginning to learn to garden, the city apartment dweller with no yard, or heck… you.

17. Happiness is a Kitchen Full of Family

There’s not much better than a full kitchen, even if it means toddlers underfoot, teens rummaging through the fridge at all hours, and the Middlers making yet another batch of homemade slime (oh, joy).

If your gift recipient has a small kitchen with a large family, they definitely need this sign!

18. Grandma’s Bake With Love Joy Box

No more boring plaid, plain white tea towels, or silly holiday themes when you can have these hilarious and clever towels at your fingertips.

Don’t Go Bacon My Heart… HA! That’s gold. Or platinum.

20. Bread Proofing Basket

5 Best Cooking Gifts for Him

21. Cooking Courses

Whether he’s your dad, your hubby, your brother, or your boo, a cooking course is an amazing gift! (And one that you’ll both get to enjoy, just sayin.’) If he’s already a wonderful home chef, or has set off the fire alarm one too many times, this course is the way to go.

We can totally picture them with a Hawaiian shirt at the next Luau, can’t you? And at this affordable price, you can definitely justify getting yourself a pair, as well. Just, you know, coordinate who gets to wear them when.

24. Cast Iron Chef

Cast iron is the way to go for great flavor, and an even sear! Of course, he knows that already, that’s why he uses it for those delicious rib-eyes, crispy-skin salmon, and even that delectable pineapple upside cake.

He’s got the cast iron collection; all he needs now is this soft gray tee-shirt, which is soon to become his absolute favorite.

25. Engraved BBQ Grill Set

Keeping those giant grill utensils in their own space is a chore! They’re too big to fit in the kitchen drawers, but if you leave them outside hanging on the grill, they get all grody. We know this from experience, y’all.

So give him this great set that is all tucked inside this sweet wooden crate, engraved with your sentiments. Wipe those sentimental tears out of your eyes, and get to flippin’ us some burgers already!

26. Rustic Spice Rack

Cooks and chefs take their spices seriously, and for good reason! They give lift and oomph and flavor to everything from eggs to cakes to casseroles. But they’re so easy to lose, spill, and disappear! A good spice rack is the answer, and this one really takes the cake with its personalization of their very own name.

27. Monogrammed Oven Mitts

Next time you’re at that potluck for church, or the neighborhood BBQ, no one will take off with your very best potholder “accidentally.” No way, not with this monogrammed kitchen oven mitt!

Monogrammed with her name (or Wifey, or Gramma), it really lets everyone know whose kitchen they’re in. And hey, while they’re in HER kitchen, they should definitely unload the dishwasher or find something to stir!

P.S. Those pockets have us swooning.

My preciousssss.

If you REALLY love a foodie, maybe consider buying them this mixer.

33. Granite Mortar and Pestle

Mole, mole mole, guacamole. This large granite mortar and pestle can hold 2 cups, so it is perfect for making big batches of guacamole or any other yummy dip.

There is something so cool about grinding up spices and dips and things in one of these. You feel like you are living in The Little House on the Prairie. It’s the best sort of feeling for a foodie.

34. Artisan Ceramic Coffee Mug

Unique mugs make the best gifts, and these handmade artisan ceramic mugs are just lovely. They have several different colors and designs, and they all would look great mixed and matched.

Imagine a steaming cup of coffee in that beauty. Now that is a gift to savor!

35. Personalized Foodie Tumblers

I am a firm believer that these insulated tumblers are the best thing since sliced turkey. These mugs include custom engraving, which makes them a great gift idea.

What’s more, they keep smoothies and iced tea cold for hours on end. For winter, they keep hot drinks like coffee and uh, adult hot chocolate steaming for as long as it takes to reach the last sip.

Foodies love smoothies and specialty beverages, so what better gift than a personalized tumbler they can take anywhere!

For a foodie, that’s not a bad thing!

You can choose the leather color (8 options) and the monogram style (18 options). Personalization can include anything from a single initial up to name, family name, and wedding date.

Why do people use coasters?

Coasters protect the surface of household tabletops, particularly wood, including dining tables, coffee tables, end tables, and more.

Cold drinks often collect condensation, hot drinks can trap steam, and any drink can spill. So, to keep the moisture from staining or otherwise ruining the look of the furniture, people like to use a special moveable protective barrier.

These are called coasters.

You can use anything as a coaster – when I was first living on my own, junk mail was a popular choice to serve as a coaster for my beverages. But that doesn’t always fly.

One day you decide that enough is enough. Drinking beverages is a daily occurrence, often done while sitting on a couch or in an easy chair. You set your drink on the table and don’t want to leave a mark, so you use a coaster.

And why not have this coaster look great?

I think you’ll agree, the ones we’ve picked above are just the thing. We hope you’ve found the perfect coaster to give as a gift or to use for your very own!

Are coasters a good gift?

Yes! Coasters are an excellent gift. As noted, we use glasses, cups, and mugs to drink stuff every single day. These can leave nasty marks on furniture from condensation or spills, so you definitely want to have some form of protection. What household doesn’t need coasters for their drinks?

Plus, coasters can be as unique, creatively attractive, and personalized as you want. They’re easy to swap out to fit any decor, and no home can have too many coasters.

So please, gift away! Coasters are great for housewarming, graduation, birthday, and Christmas gift-giving. They’re generic enough for new neighbors yet customizable enough for your very best friend.

It’s the perfect gift!

This is some vintage coffee humor! If antique, old-fashioned, old-school is your style, your coffee bar could use a few signs like the one pictured above.

Look for more great (if relatively groan-inducing) coffee quotes like:

• Coffee! You can sleep when you’re dead!
• Instant Human – Just Add Coffee
• I don’t have a problem with caffeine, I have a problem without it!
• Drink Coffee: Do stupid things faster with more energy

The shrink-wrapping kitchen accessory machine that sucks air out and seals your food in plastic is probably not the first thing that springs to mind when you think of the all-time best gifts.

My aim here is to convince you that there is a pretty good chance that a vacuum sealing machine might actually be the GOAT* gift idea.

 *GOAT: Greatest Of All Time

A good gift costs more than a few bucks, but is still moderately priced. Check.

While good gifts are used more than once, the best gifts will be used often and for years. Check.

The gifts that can be considered in the GOAT conversation are ones that are so well-used that they revolutionize your life. Check.

Good gift ideas are something that they don’t already have, but would definitely want. Check (well, probably…. do your research).

Also, the best gift ideas have bonuses like making your life easier, saving money, helping you live a healthier life, and doing all that while providing enjoyment and satisfaction. Let’s see…. check, check, check, and also check.

I think that a vacuum sealer – perhaps surprisingly, which makes it an even better gift idea – hits all of these requirements. Let’s take a closer look and you can decide for yourself.

What does a vacuum sealer do?

A vacuum sealer is a machine that packages food (or other items) in plastic packaging, removes all the air, and seals it. This removes all or most of the oxygen and thus preserves the contents.

You can use a vacuum sealer to package food (dry, wet, precooked, fully cooked, leftovers, meat, veggies, bread, etc), to lengthen the shelf life, freeze, or refrigerate.

All it takes is a vacuum sealer machine, plastic wrapping, and basic knowledge of how to operate the machine. Most nowadays are very easy to use.

Now that you know the basics, let’s take a closer look at why this makes such a great gift idea!

16 Reasons A Vacuum Sealer Is Probably The Greatest Gift Idea Ever

1. A good food vacuum sealer is less than a hundred bucks

Here is the best mid-range option: The NutriChef PKVS18SL. You can always go crazy with larger sizes and more bells ‘n whistles, but for most everyday folks this little beast will do the trick.

With thousands of A+ reviews, a low price point, surprising ease of use, and including a complete starter kit, this is a great deal for anyone who will put it to mild daily and weekly use.

2. A vacuum sealer machine is a surprising gift idea

No one expects to open a vacuum sealer on Christmas. But for someone who is 1) not a child and 2) even somewhat responsible, they will immediately see the value of this gift.

Unexpected though it may be, this is one of those items that everyone sees or hears about at some point and thinks, “oh, I’d like one of those someday.”

Well, someday is now. Get them one as a gift and you will (slowly, over time, as they realize the incredible value of it) blow their mind.

3. They will use it. All. The. Time.

Seriously. There are so many uses for a vacuum sealer it will blow theirs minds… and yours.

The rest of this list is just going to be some of the many uses and benefits of a vacuum sealer, and I’m going to start saying “you” instead of “they” because I can practically guarantee that by the time you’re done reading, you will get two – one as a gift, and one for yourself.

4. A vacuum sealer keeps food fresh longer

This is the basic functionality of the machine, but it still needs to be said. How many things have you tossed in the garbage because it started to turn? Well, no more.

What that means is that with a vacuum sealer you will have more fresh food, less waste, and lower household costs. #wining

5. Buy food in bulk

Retailers are getting sneaky about bulk food prices these days. If you pay close attention, you will be surprised to see how often the large/bulk/family size doesn’t actually net you a better price. But that’s another rant for another day.

So you’ll still have to watch the price per ounce, but with a vacuum sealer you can buy food in bulk when it presents a savings opportunity. Separate it, seal it, and eliminate the waste that so often happens when you can’t consume the bulk food before it spoils.

6. Revolutionize meat usage

A vacuum sealer will revolutionize your meat usage. Really!

Now you can take advantage of those super-meat-sales at the market, or actually go in with other families to buy that half of a cow from a local farm. You can pre-cut your meat any way you like, make hamburger patties, or portion off individual steaks to use as needed. Ever heard of dry-aged steak? You will.

In a pinch, you can even marinade meat in 30 minutes and it will taste like you’ve been prepping for days!

7. Create individual serving sizes

Now you can buy that huge can of peaches at Costco instead of the overpriced single-serving cups.

Divvy up large purchases into smaller portions and you can have grab-and-go snacks for you or the kids anytime, and at a huge discount from the individually packaged versions.

8. Easy meal delivery

Deliver ready-to-heat meals that stay fresh in the fridge or freezer with no dishes to return! 

That’s right, you can bring meals to new moms after a birth, patients recovering from surgery, or sympathy meals after a funeral and you will never need to bother the family to return your casserole dish.

Same goes for bringing a dish to a potluck, family gathering, or as a side when going to a friend’s house for dinner. Pack it, seal it, and you’re ready to go!

9. Prepare microwave meals

Make a huge batch of stir fry and have it fresh for dinner. Then take the leftovers and vacuum seal them into family-size or individual portions and freeze.

When you’re ready to eat, simply take your frozen meal and microwave it on medium until heated. Typically it works best to let it thaw in the fridge, but most leftover meals are fine reheated from frozen. You’ll also want to poke a few holes or snip a corner off the bag to allow steam to escape.

10. Make sandwiches

Whether you want traditional sandwiches for lunch or breakfast sandwiches for an easy start to the day, both are a breeze with a vacuum sealer.

Just don’t use soft, cheap bread. Go for hoagie rolls or english muffins and the vacuum sealer won’t squish the bread. Prep on the weekend and keep in the refrigerator for a fresh, delicious sandwich any day of the week.

11. Keep fresh items stocked

Yes, so nothing can beat having fresh fruits or veggies. But you can get pretty darn close with a vacuum sealer.

For instance, you can keep fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice on hand at all times. Juice your fruits and freeze them using tiny ice cube trays. Once frozen, pop out the juice cubes and vacuum seal, then return to freezer.

Now, anytime a recipe calls for fresh lemon juice you’ll have it on hand! If fresh squeezed tastes 100% and the bottled stuff is at about 50%, these vacuum-sealed juice cubes will be around 90%, which is the perfect combination of convenience, taste, and affordability.

Keep this in mind for your margarita gift ideas.

You can easily use this trick (well, not the juicing part) for fresh berries, cantaloupe, guacamole, green beans, and much more. Simply pre-freeze on a baking sheet (to keep them separated so they don’t clump), place in bag, seal, and return to freezer.

12. Keep snack items from going stale

Did you know you can use your vacuum sealer machine to re-seal bags of chips, crackers, or cookies? Why yes you can!

13. Make your own healthy snacks

Want Go-Gurt but without all the sugar? (And the high cost per ounce!) Make your own yogurt and seal them in individual little packages for your kids (or yourself).

You can also do:

• Honey sticks
• Applesauce
• Frozen juice (“otter” pops)
• Apple slices
• Boiled eggs
• Cheese sticks

14. Store your garden seeds for planting next year

Yep, keep those seeds in tip-top shape by vacuum sealing them. You’ll be ready for planting season with no need to visit the local nursery and shell out for new seeds!

15. Emergency preparedness

Not only can you store some consumables, snacks, and seasonings for long periods of time in your emergency kit, but you can also keep waterproof bags filled with cash, maps, evacuation route info, matches, and copies of important documents.

Oh, and if you vacuum seal candles it will prevent them from melting into unusable blobs of wax. You’re welcome.

16. Preserve household items

Protect and preserve clothing, antique coins, batteries, and more. Many people use a vacuum sealer to keep their winter clothes in mint condition (and take up less space) for storage during the warm and humid summer months.

Give it; get it

So if you are now convinced that this is the greatest gift idea ever, give it! My recommendation is the NutriChef PKVS18SL. At about $60 (at the time of this post), you really can’t beat it. You can also check out all of the best-sellers here.
