Looking for Fun Gifts for your Favorite Cook?
Posted by Chris Arpante on The Cook’s Kitchen.
One of my favorite stores, along with World Market, is the Container Store. It is so difficult to walk in and leave with the one item I had in mind. Today wasn’t any different. I went in to get little keepsake cases and walked out with two bags! I am often asked what to get a cook. The Container Store has lots of little gifts for foodies. So, regardless if its Santa Claus or Harry Hanukkah who visits, there are many ideal items for any cook’s kitchen.
I Am Not A Paper Cup (by DCI) – A “double walled; thermal porcelain cup with silicone top [that is] eco-friendly and reusable”, this is a great way to save money after brewing an aromatic pot in the morning. (photo from DCI)
Mini Maxi Reusable Bag (by Reisenthel) – This great and handy bag folds into its own small, round, zippered pouch. It’s durable and has long handles for over the shoulder toting. It sure beats all those plastic bags you get in the grocery store! (Photo from goneshopping.com)
