When the chef in your life has just about every unique kitchen gadget there is, you might have to look past the practical and get creative. Check out these fun food-related gifts you can wrap up this holiday season.
Sure you could buy your friend a utilitarian gift but that’s… boring. They can buy themselves a plain old spatula or a butter dish that isn’t shaped like a giant sea-dwelling mammal. Part of the fun of these gifts is how silly and whimsical they are.
