Le Creuset Stoneware Mini Round Cocotte
You don’t have to splurge to gift covetable Le Creuset cookware. This miniature Dutch oven is as practical as it is adorable. Reviewers say they use it to cook soups, sauces, and desserts for one. The red color is so festive, but it also comes in 16 other shades to match any kitchen color scheme. With proper care, Le Creuset products last decades, so this Dutch oven is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
Brightland Extra Virgin Olive Oil
High-quality olive oil is a staple that’s used again and again. This Brightland olive oil is an upgrade from your typical supermarket olive oil. Not only will this oil taste great drizzled over salads and in sauces, but it will also look beautiful on the countertop.
Yankee Candle Balsam & Cedar Single-Wick Candle
This is one of our favorite holiday candles. Our editors love that it makes the home smell amazing, even in houses with pets. One Amazon reviewer said they “burn them all year long,” thanks to the “fresh and woodsy” scent that doesn’t smell overly perfumed. “Every time someone walks into my home they tell me how nice it smells,” they added.
Bambüsi Bamboo Charcuterie Board Set
This charcuterie board is in high demand — more than 20,000 Amazon shoppers bought it in the past month. It includes a built-in drawer that stores cheese knives, labeling slates, and serving tools, and a wine opener. Many reviewers have even said they have gifted this board multiple times, and one shopper called it the “perfect present for the hard-to-shop-for person on your list.”
