Christmas Wish List
Every year I look forward to the holiday season. I love all the hustle and bustle that comes with the season. All throughout the year I keep a Christmas wish list through Gift Hero. If I see something I would like or for someone that I normally buy for – I add it to my list. By keeping a list all year my Christmas shopping is much easier than starting from scratch.
Below you will find my Christmas Wish List with some things I am asking Santa for, some things that I am buying for others and other things that I dream of owning (I’m talking about Cristel cookware). I hope this list helps you as you do your holiday shopping.
Stocking Stuffers
1. Stainless Steel Flatware Set Reusable Cutlery Set Travel Utensils Set
I have been trying to use less disposable cutlery in the past few years. I love the case it comes in and it’s available in five different colors.
2. Kitchen Grips Deluxe 2-Piece Pan Handle Holder Set
Lately, I have been starting more of my chicken and beef on the stovetop and then moving it to the oven. I am always worried about burning my hand on the handle and would like to have these to prevent that from happening. They come in five colors to match any kitchen decor.
3. J.A. Henckels International 11517-100 Take-Apart Kitchen Shears
I recently used our kitchen shears to help debone a chicken and then realized you can’t take them apart all the way to clean. Take-apart shears are a must for every home cook.
4. Chef Design Ceramic Pot Minder
We have all had that dramatic moment where our pasta pot boils over. I currently have a glass stovetop and it is so much harder to get the salted water off than a gas stovetop. The pot minder chef is supposed to help minimize the bubbles and I look forward to trying this right after Christmas.
5. TOPIST Angry Mama Microwave Cleaner
Most of us have heard of the Angry Mama Microwave cleaner. I am not sure why I haven’t bought one yet but anything that helps clean a microwave is great to have.
Cookbooks
1. 100 Cookies: The Baking Book for Every Kitchen, with Classic Cookies, Novel Treats, Brownies, Bars, and More
I have been trying to purchase this cookbook since it came out at the end of August. It keeps running out of stock – so if you want it make sure to order soon! I am dying to try the pan banging snickerdoodle recipe from this cookbook.
2. American Sfoglino: A Master Class in Handmade Pasta
Making Pasta is something I enjoy doing and would love to be better at. I think this cookbook will be great to use to improve my technique and even teach me new pasta recipes.
3. Weeknight Baking: Recipes to Fit Your Schedule
Do you crave something sweet on a weeknight like I do? I can’t wait to try all of the recipes in this cookbook.
4. The Greek Slow Cooker: Easy, Delicious Recipes From the Heart of the Mediterranean
Slow cooker recipes are great for when you are busy and Greek food is so yummy. I am looking forward to using these recipes after the new year.
5. Gin Austen: 50 Cocktails to Celebrate the Novels of Jane Austen
After Christmas, it is always nice to have a good cocktail. As a huge fan of Jane Austen, I am interested in trying some of these new to me recipes.
Baking
1. Cheat Sheets Silicone Baking Trays
I love roasting vegetable and sometimes they have different cooking times. These trays make it easy to keep the items separate and lets you take out what gets doen early.
2. Mason Cash Innovative Kitchen Roller Shaker
Last year I saw this roller shaker and have wanted it since. You can add flour into the roller and than shake it out as you need it. Such a handy thing to have.
3. Pressure Piston “Le Tube”
De Buyer makes this great cookie-decorating tool. You can use it to garnish, fill, and decorate. It is great for savory or sweet goods. I have made a recipe that is a take on shepherd’s pie and you pipe mashed potatoes on top. – this would be the perfect tool for the job.
Drinkware
1. Duchesse Toasting Flute, Pair
Vera Wang designed these lovely crystal flutes. After the way 2020 has gone I think we could use some beautiful flutes to ring in 2021.
2. T2 Aqua Thermal Stainless Steel Loose Leaf Tea Infuser
I love all of the T2 products I have bought in the past. I am looking for a new to go container for my tea and this will work great. Plus there is a 20% discount on T2 products on Amazon.
3. T2 Tea Iconic Fine Bone China Mug with Stainless Steel Infuser, French Earl Grey
Drinking tea out of a beautiful mug is a great way to start any day. Especially when that mug has an Eiffel Tower on it.
4. W&P Porter Glass Water Bottle w/ Protective Silicone Sleeve
One can never have too many water bottles. I love that this one is glass and has a protective silicone sleeve. It comes in seven different colors for you to choose from.
Kitchen Accesories
1. Band and Stripe 2 Tier Rotating Fruit Storage Basket
Our fruit bowl is overflowing a lot of the time. We desperately need a larger one and I think this will be the perfect fit for our countertop.
2. Kitchen Utensil and Tablet Holder
A few years ago I typed up all of our family recipes and made a recipe book for my sister and mom. I have a printed copy but find myself looking at the pdf on my iPad any time I am in the kitchen cooking. This utensil holder will help store some of our everyday cooking utensils and give me a nice spot for my iPad instead of setting it down on the counter.
Edible Gifts
1. Chocolate Doughnut Mix
I recently bought a doughnut pan to test a great recipe from The Cozy Christmas Movie Cookbook – the doughnuts came out so good. Now I am on the search for more doughnuts to make and these look so good.
2. Grill Sauce Gift Crate
A great gift for someone who loves to grill is definitely grill sauce. I love all kinds of sauces especially on my grilled chicken.
Sold Out
3. Holiday 2020 Batter Bowl Gift Set
It’s hard to resist a cute mixing bowl. I love the holiday theme on this on plus it comes with pancake & waffle mix and syrup and jam. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day so I could definitely put this to good use.

4. New England Barbecue Gift
My Mom is from Maine and my Dad loves to barbecue – which makes this a great joint gift for the both of them. Plus it comes in such a cute basket.

5. Our Jam Collection
When I was living in New York I used to go out to a small farm and buy all kinds of jelly and jam. Unfortunately, they don’t ship so I have been looking for a great replacement. I am excited to try these as I love everything I have ever tried by Stonewall Kitchen.
Sold Out
6. Snowy Day Gift
A snowy day is a great day to curl up on the couch with a bowl of New England clam chowder and a cup of hot chocolate. This gift set is the perfect thing to have around for the cold days that we all know are coming soon!

7. Spicewalla Peppercorns Collection 3 Pack
Recently I had a recipe that called for Pink Peppercorns and I couldn’t find them at any of our stores except in a mixed container. I want these to use for all my dishes. Using white pepper can make a dish look so elegant.
8. T2 French Earl Grey Black Tea, Black Tea Bags in Limited Edition Tin
I ran out of my French Earl Grey and hope Santa puts some more under the tree for me this year. Plus there is a 20% discount on T2 products on Amazon.
Kitchen Tools
1. Alpha Grillers Garlic Press
I cook a lot and spend a lot of time mincing garlic by hand. I have decided this is the year I am going to ask for a garlic press. Plus there is a 5% coupon on it on Amazon.
2. Kitchen Grips 5-Finger Glove Set of 2, 10.25 Inch, Cherry/White Woven
I have spent a lot of time over the last few years searching for the best heat-resistant gloves and until a few days ago wasn’t finding what I wanted. These protect your hands up to 500 degrees – plus they are dishwasher safe!
3. Souper Cubes 1-Cup Extra-Large Silicone Freezing Tray with Lid
Do you meal prep? I love to make big batches of chili and soup to keep in the freezer for days when I just don’t feel like cooking. These are a great way to freeze the chilis or soups. Then once they are frozen you can put the bricks into a large freezer safe bag and they will take up less room than soup containers.
4. Stainless Steel Chainmail Scrubber Set Cast Iron Cleaner
I am asking for a new cast iron pan for Christmas (I lost mine a while ago). I want to make sure that I am prepared to keep it in the best shape and these tools will come in really handy.
5. Sur La Table Silicone Splatter Screen
A splatter screen can be very helpful especially when you are cooking hamburgers. However, I think this is something most of us forget to pickup for ourselves.
6. Wilton Angled Spatula
I want to start making and decorating more cakes and this is one of the most essential tools.
7. Zip Top Reusable 100% Platinum Silicone Containers – 2 Bag Set – Teal
We are all trying to use a little less plastic in our daily lives and I want to give these a try to see how they work out. These come as bags and dishes. I want to try the bags first for my smoothie packs that I store in the freezer.
8. ZWILLING Fresh & Save Vacuum Sealer Machine Starter Set
We have been purchasing the larger packs of meat and chicken as they are so much cheaper. However, we tend to get freezer burn on them and I would like to try this vacuum sealer machine to see if it prevents the freezer burn.
Cookware
1. Cristel, 18-10 Stainless Steel Set of 13 Piece Grey
I know that Santa will most likely not put this under the Christmas tree, however, I can still dream about these amazing pans. The handles are detachable so they don’t get hot on the stove or the oven and you can take them off to put them on the table for serving.
2. Dansk Kobenstyle Saucepan with Trivet Lid
A 2 qt Danish saucepan that is so pretty to look at. It is one of those pans you can leave out on the stove as decoration when you aren’t using it.
3. Lodge Chef Collection Skillet
Lodge has made an improved cast iron skillet by making it 15% lighter. I want this 12″ skillet to use to make so many things – especially steak.
4. Swissmar 10-Piece Chalet Fondue Set
I had an electric fondue set that was really difficult to keep the heat even on when you were serving. This traditional fondue set looks like it will be a beautiful replacement. Plus the pot is cooktop, microwave and oven safe.
Serveware
1. Hammersmith Cake Stand
Do you know anyone in your family that loves to make cakes? Give them this beautiful cake stand to display their masterpiece on.
2. Kya Cake Knife and Pie Server Set
A gorgeous cake knife and pie server set that would make an hostess smile and any guest jealous.
Sold Out
3. Maine Lobster Kit
I love Maine lobster – guess it’s in my blood since I was born there. I always find myself looking for crackers and meat picks when we are having lobster. The great thing about this kit is that it comes as a set for four. Plus you can use this for crabs too!

Kitchen Electrics
1. Breville BKE820XL IQ Kettle, Brushed Stainless Steel
Currently we have an old fashion kettle that you put on the stove. I love to make tea and a lot of tea’s require a certain temperature of water to steep in. I love that this has five preset brewing temperatures.
2. Instant Pot Ultra 10-in-1
I have used this model of the Instant Pot before and I love it. It has great presets and it’s easy to use. The mashed potatoes and brown rice are amazing in it. Plus you can mix and keep the mashed potatoes in the instant pot until you are ready to serve.
3. KitchenAid – KFP1133CU 11-Cup Food Processor
A food processor is one of those items that I never feel like I need but then I wish I had one. I like this one with the storage case for the blades so you don’t get cut by blades being loose in a drawer.
4. KitchenAid – Artisan 5 Qt Stand Mixer -Lavender
My old KitchenAid started to have major problems after being damaged in a move. I currently use my sisters’ mixer but this lavender one is on my wish list.
5. KitchenAid – Gourmet Pasta Press
I have many KitchenAid attachments including the shredder. The gourmet pasta press is the one I want next. It makes it so easy to make pasta.
I hope my Christmas Wish List helps you brainstorm ideas for yourself and your loved ones. Let me know what your favorite product is on the list.
