We've got a personalised cookbook holder - think it was about £20-25 from notonthehighstreet.

That plus a new cookbook might be nice?

If they are coffee drinkers, previously well received gifts have been an aeropress with cappuccino cups or some fancy coffee.

Cherry stoner/olive pitter. Mine comes out to restaurants so we can feed dd the complimentary olives without risk of choking or waste. I don’t even care that that makes me a middle class wanker.

Otherwise I like a good slotted spoon and having been watching Nigella I fancy one of those baskets crossed with a spoon she uses for fishing out and draining pasta.

I also like a moulin grater but worry about other people slicing off their fingers so maybe don’t buy that.

It's amazing! All the food waste gets swept in there and then straight into the compost.

Tray fits in the dishwasher too 😊

I love my Joseph garlic press.

A lifetime of searching and now I have found the holy grail of garlic presses. And it also looks jazzy.

£8 from lakeland. DS who self caters at Uni is getting one in his stocking.

Hand blender. Makes the best hummus.

Family recipe book, blank but formatted and we write favourites and new recipes in it.

Beautiful serving platters. You can’t have too many different shapes and sizes.

Gravy/sauce boat. Gives me immense pleasure every time I use it.

Sturdy, attractive Kilner jars for storing dry goods.

Slate table mats. Smart, simple, go with everything.

Wine glasses.

Also, we had one of these as a wedding gift and love it.

It's a non slip chopping board on one side and on the other side it is a carving board with little spikes on.

Forgot to add that it is angled so collects the juices from the meat, which is handing for adding to gravy.
