It’s that time of year again and I’m excited because this is one of my favorite posts to put together every year. I’m not a fan of gift guides that are just a giant list of random stuff, so what I like to include in mine are things I own, use and would buy again, plus a few things that are on my own wishlist this year or things I’m buying for others (and I’ll tell you which is which).

I broke it down by who you’re shopping for, with ideas for every budget and plenty of stocking stuffers. As always thank you for trusting my recommendations and for using my links to shop. It costs you nothing extra and it helps support all the free recipes here on EBF.

For the Healthy Home Cook

These are the things that actually live on my counter, plus the tools I reach for every time I cook (or film a recipe).

Kitchen gifts arranged around a holiday heading, including cookware, a sheet pan, blender, food processor, cookbook and storage containers.
  • Mostly Veggies Cookbook: My cookbook! It’s full of make-ahead, veggie-forward meals for real life, and it makes a sweet gift for anyone who wants to eat more plants. Pair it with the wooden cookbook holder so it can stay open on the counter for easy access.
  • Our Place Always Pan 2.0: One pan that sautés, steams, fries and boils. Added bonus: it comes in pretty colors that look nice left out on the stove.
  • Ninja CREAMi: Turns frozen bases into ice cream, sorbet and protein ice cream. A fun one for anyone who likes making high protein treats at home.
  • OXO Kitchen Scale: A digital scale for baking by weight and portioning, with a pull-out display so big bowls don’t hide the numbers. This one is great for home bakers because it goes up to 11lbs.
  • Beast Mighty 850 Blender: A powerful blender that looks great on the counter and handles smoothies, soups and sauces. This one is great if you want to move away from plastic because it comes with a stainless blending vessel.
  • Baker & Olive Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic: A bright, lemony vinegar that makes salads and roasted veggies taste extra special. Pair it with a nice olive oil for a hostess gift.
  • Quince Olivewood Utensil Set: Four Italian olivewood utensils that are gentle on nonstick pans and pretty enough to keep in a crock by the stove.
  • Staub 5.5 Quart Dutch Oven: Enameled cast iron for soups, stews and braises. The peony pink makes it feel extra giftable.
  • Zwilling Pro Rocking Santoku Knife: A nice knife is such a good gift and this one is fan-favorite. It has a curved blade for rocking cuts, which makes chopping a pile of veggies go faster.
  • Maldon Sea Salt Flakes: Flaky sea salt for finishing everything from roasted veggies to chocolate chip cookies. The big tub lasts a long time and makes a fun gift.
  • Threshold Salt Cellar: A little salt cellar with a spoon to keep next to the stove. Pair it with the Maldon tub for a sweet (but salty) small gift.
  • OXO Salad Spinner: Washes and dries greens fast, so salads actually happen during the week.
  • Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor: A big food processor for shredding, slicing, energy bites, dips and pie dough. I use mine often!
  • Rubbermaid Brilliance Glass Containers: These are my fave meal glass storage containers. They come with leak-proof lids and stack well in the fridge.
  • Souper Cubes: Freezer trays that portion soup, sauce and broth into 1 cup blocks. A great gift for the meal prepper.
  • Williams Sonoma Goldtouch Pro Sheet Pan and Cooling Rack: This is my sheet pan and cooling rack set. It’s nonstick and a roomy three-quarter size, so it’s great for sheet pan dinners and cookies.

For the Wellness Lover

For the friend who’s always at Pilates, tracking her protein or trying the newest recovery tool.

Wellness gifts arranged around a holiday heading, including a red light mask, massage gun, exercise mat and insulated tumbler.
  • CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask: This is the at-home red light therapy mask I use almost daily. Use code BMULLINS for 20% off.
  • HigherDOSE Infrared PEMF Pro Mat: Isaac and are obsessed with this infrared mat for relaxation and recovery. It’s a bit of a splurge, but has been so worth it for us.
  • Oura Ring 5: Oura finally launched a smart ring that is slimmer and sleeker. I have the old model but added the this new one to my list! The ring tracks sleep, activity and recovery, and it looks like regular jewelry. Oura offers a sizing kit if you are not sure of her size.
  • Stakt Mat Pro: A thick, foldable workout mat that also works as a step and tucks away easily. Comes in a variety of colors too. I use mine daily for yoga and workouts.
  • NOWATCH B: A screen-free wellness tracker worn like a watch, with no notifications. I don’t own this one, but it’s on my list.
  • Dreamwalkerz Dreamwave Glasses: Blue light glasses in a classic tortoise frame for evening screen time. Another item on my wishlist.
  • Cloudwalkerz Sleep Glasses: Nighttime glasses designed to block blue light while you wind down before bed.
  • JSHealth Lean+ Formula: This the creatine I’ve been taking and loving! Use code BRITTANY10 for 10% off.
  • Coway Airmega Mighty2 Air Purifier: A popular HEPA air purifier that covers a large room. We just got one and are loving it! 10/10 recommend, especially if you have pets or cook often. It clears the smell and any smoke that is created while cooking.
  • Hyperice Hypervolt 3 Pro: A heated percussion massage gun for sore muscles after workouts. We literally use ours daily!
  • HydroJug 32 oz. Traveler: A big insulated tumbler that makes hitting your water goal so much easier.
  • Hume Body Pod: A smart scale that tracks body composition, not just weight. I am hooked on mine and love that the data.
