30 Favorite Kitchen Stocking Stuffers

Here are 30 stocking stuffers that food lovers and cooks will love! 

I never understood the push back on asking for or receiving “practical” gifts because they can be some of my favorite gifts to receive! Over the years, my husband has given me many practical gifts and I’ve loved every one. 

My general rule for both my wish list and my gift list is that it should be 1) wanted and 2) should be a bit of a splurge (fine salt instead of the normal brand we buy, for example). 

Growing up, my mother always did an amazing job making our stockings meaningful and fun. We’ve continued that tradition in our family, and our kids have told us they would rather get stockings than presents if they had to choose between the two. 

Stockings don’t have to be full of throwaways, but can be the highlight of the morning. I hope this list gives you some ideas for a loved one! (Or perhaps give you suggestions to send to a loved one stuffing yours!)

For the Sourdough Baker: 

• Danish Dough whisk (I love this tool for making both gluten-free doughs and sourdough)
• Bench Scraper
• Bowl Scraper
• Bread Lame

For the Coffee Lover: 

• Organic Instant Coffee to Go Packets
• Mushroom Coffee packets (my personal favorite)
• Milk Frother

For the Tea Lover: 

• Organic Tea Packets to Go, no brewing required (high quality and organic, check out their heavenly matcha!)
• OXO Brew Twisting Tea Ball Infuser
