This particular piece by Drew Barrymore not only works great, but the colors are absolutely dreamy. You can choose from a variety of beautiful colors.
A Quality Knife
In a home chef's arsenal, a quality knife is paramount, and Made In delivers with this all-purpose blade. Its curved design is optimized for the rocking method, while the pointed tip allows for more precise cuts. Unlike cheaper blades, Made In's chef's knife is crafted from a single rod of stainless steel, ensuring sharpness, balance, and long-lasting durability. The handle is made from Amaranth Wood, sourced from South America, which adds a touch of elegance to this indispensable kitchen tool.
A Stunning Pitcher

Enter, this stunning "splatter" pitcher by Crow Canyon, which makes a statement centerpiece flower vase or water pitcher. It will be used time and time again.
A Versatile Mixing Bowl Set
A kitchen isn't fully stocked unless it's ready for baking. This six-piece mixing bowl set from Cravings by Chrissy Teigen is the perfect addition to any kitchen. The "Italian Spritz" color palette is simply divine, and the lids to the set make it so versatile.
A Creative Gift
If you're looking for a creative gift that won't break the bank, consider gifting a bottle or two of Carandini's Bianca Sweet White Vinegar (or the brand's Emilio Balsamic Vinegar Of Modena) in a stocking or even a festive wine gift bag! No kitchen cabinet is complete without vinegar, as it's a key ingredient in so many recipes.
