HOLIDAY GIFTS for 2016!
If I'm being honest, I'm kind of in a panic with holiday shopping! I'm traveling the week before Christmas and am down to the wire in picking out gifts and getting them delivered in time. I should have started planning before Thanksgiving (which is kind of insane...). In any case, I wanted to share my picks for the holidays, many of which are on my own wish list....

Though God knows I'd get enough use out of this cutting through pizza, I would actually love this rocking knife for my daily prep, namely mincing things like garlic, onions, or herbs!

I love pottery, and this vase is so amazing! Perfect for getting individual stems and creating your own unique arrangements for your house.

Hand-turned, one-of-a-kind pieces in upstate New York - boards, espresso tampers, bowls, stirrers. They even do custom pieces, and their instagram is gorgeous!

I’m loving this new line of oils and soaps from Leland Francis, and now they have all three as a little gift package. Such a great way to pamper your skin in the cold winter months!

There’s nothing better than being able to cook food perfectly all the way through. There's nothing worse, in my opinion, than over-cooked steak or under-cooked chicken. But this little kitchen gadget allows you to cook anything perfectly, restaurant-style,...AND you can use an app to control the process!

This set is like the ultimate gift for the home cook and a true splurge. Luckily, you can buy most of the items standalone - they are all artisan-made and many have lifetime guarantees.

I love mosaic anything, and these lamps are just gorgeous with all their color! If you are in the NYC area, you can check out their booth at the Bryant Park Holiday Market.
COOKBOOKS BECAUSE. COOKBOOKS!
