KITCHEN AID STAND MIXER

Whether you want to gift this or you’ve been eyeing it for yourself, they’re best purchased now because they’re on major sale!
CHILI CRISP GIFT BOX

Fly By Jing has some of my favorite spicy chili crisp. Gift to your Asian food-loving friend!
PEBBLE ICE MAKER

For the ice-obsessed friend or family member in your life.
TAIYAKI PAN

Taiyaki is a Japanese fish-shaped waffle, is a fun dessert to make and customize! You can fill it with Nutella, custard, sweet potato, red bean paste, etc.
NINJA CREAMI

Worth the hype! Healthy ice cream for the win.
TAIWANESE FRUIT JAM GIFT BOX

Yunhai Shop has some of my favorite Asian goods. You should also try their dried fruits! So yummy!
NIKO’S KNIFE

I recently got this knife and it is a hefty beast. So sharp!
TRUFF MINI HOT SAUCE SET

Truff’s hot sauce is too good. With this set, you can try a few flavors out without committing to the full size.
BAKING STEEL

Great alternative for homemade pizzas without the hassle of pizza oven setup (especially if you don’t have the space). Just stick in your oven, bake for 6-8 minutes, and you have restaurant quality pizza just like that!
Code KYRIETHEFOODIE for additional 10% off.
SERVING TRAY

This one comes in two different sizes – I recommend getting the bigger one!
INDOOR COMPOSTER

Jeff and I use ours all the time. Great especially for gardeners or eco-friendly friends. Helps us reduce food waste, and all the compost goes right back into our garden!
RIBBED BUTTER DISH

Having a pretty butter dish seems small, but makes a big difference in a kitchen!
CARAWAY SET

Love that the lids are flat for easy storage! On top of their current sale, use KYRIETHEFOODIE10 for 10% off.
CUTTING/CHARCUTERIE BOARD

A staple in my kitchen and is also gorgeous. It doubles as a serving board because it’s so pretty!
SALT/PEPPER GRINDER

A small, simple way to elevate any kitchen. The copper is stunning.
KNIFE BLOCK

If you’re looking for a solid, affordable knife block, this is the one.
AIR FRYER

We love our Ninja air fryer since it allows you to cook two items at once at two different temperatures.
MAGIC BULLET BLENDER

We were gifted this at our wedding, and even though it wasn’t on my registry, I now use it everyday. You can remove the cup and bring it with you on the go to work, school, etc.
FERMENTATION CROCK

If your loved one wants to get into pickling, this is the best for homemade kimchi, hot sauce, pickles, and more.
PORTABLE STOVE

So convenient for on-the-go cooking (especially for camping!), but I mainly use it for hot pot nights (or other communal dinners).
DONABE

A donabe is a traditional Japanese clay pot used for cooking hot pot dishes, stews, and rice. They’ve been used in Japan for hundreds of years. This one is stunning; I reserve it for special occasions.
12-PIECE STONEWARE SET

Affordable, and so nice to have a matching full set in a kitchen. Great especially for college students or recent grads!
MINI FRIDGE

Perfect for college students, or moms in the postpartum phase (having drinks in your room on handy is so nice!).
MANGO WOOD BOWL

Beautiful bowl for serving or storing fruit.
BAKING SHEETS

Nordic Ware baking sheets are superior.
STAUB DUTCH OVEN

These last you a lifetime (not an exaggeration). And they come in so many colors!
EARLYWOOD SPATULAS

Not only gorgeous in the kitchen, but take care of them well, and they may even outlive you! Love their minimalistic look.
WOK

Both round- and flat-bottomed woks depending on if you have a gas or electric stove.
OUR PLACE PAN

Although I love my Caraway pots/pans, I also love Our Place’s pan because they are incredibly lightweight.
Tiger Rice Cooker
RICE COOKER

This is my beloved rice cooker I use almost every single day. It can make so many types of meals!
BALMUDA TOASTER OVEN

This toaster oven from BALMUDA has a steaming feature. That’s all you need to know.
NINJA BLENDER

One of my favorite parts about this Ninja blender are the cups it comes with.
NON-TOXIC CONTAINERS

Caraway makes the most beautiful kitchenware, and their nontoxic containers are also so stunning!

On top of their sale, code KYRIETHEFOODIE10 gets you 10% off.
GOZNEY PIZZA OVEN

Jeff and I break out this Gozney pizza oven frequently for guests, and it’s so fun for entertaining. Nothing beats homemade pizza!
TAMAGOYAKI PAN

This pan is specifically for making tamagoyaki, a Japanese rolled omelette. Gift this to your Japanese food lover.
FREEZE DRYER

Definitely a pricier gift. We recently got this freeze dryer for preserving Jeff’s garden harvest, and it’s been so fun. The possibilities are endless!
FOOD DEHYDRATOR

Great for making sun-dried tomatoes, apple chips, fruit leather, vegetable chips, granola, etc.
SODA STREAM MACHINE

Homemade soda but healthier?! Say less. So fun especially when you’re hosting!
ICE CREAM MAKER

For the ice cream lover in your life. It’s ridiculously easy and customizing flavors is so fun!
