Christmas gift ideas: Kitchen gadgets

If you have a loved one, who like me, loves to cook up a storm in the kitchen - a new culinary gadget could be the perfect gift this Christmas.

Everyone wins with these fun and fantastic gift ideas, whether you're the one creating with them or the lucky person who gets to taste the finished product.

These are all on trend right now so check out some of my favourite picks.

KitchenAid - Blossom

KitchenAid is the the gold standard of the standmixers. But apart from being excellent to use, they have also cornered the market on being beautiful items.

Each year they release a signature colour for the season and this year it's Blossom - a lovely pastel sage green with a copper beaten bowl.

It has lots of special details too, like no silver rim and blossom details.

Price: From $850 depending on attachments and accessories

Ooni Pizza Ovens

This is the pizza oven reinvented. it is portable (rather than built in, making it more versatile. It cooks pizza in 60 seconds and there is a range of sizes and styles that use different fuel depending on what you're after - from gas to charcoal and wood. They are the cool gadget of the moment.

Price: $450-$1700 depending on size and model

Cuisinart Soft Serve Machine

This is a fun gadget to add to your kitchen collection. Made by Cuisinart, it has the usual ice cream making bowl to pop in the freezer, but then when you add it to the machine with the ingredients and get it churning, you can squeeze the ice cream or frozen yoghurt straight into a cup or cone and it has a sprinkles dispenser on the side too!

Price: $249 (Target)

De Longhi Slow Cooker

A slow cooker is an excellent tool to have. You can do things like pulled pork or mulled wine, it's not just soups and stews. Get one with a sauté/searing capacity to make it super useful.

Price - $150 (Target)

Breville Sandwich Press

These are more versatile than you can imagine and can be used as a grill or press for so many things. From $65-$120 depending on the size, there's something for everyone.

Price - $65-$120 depending on size (Target and Kmart)

Kmart Air fryer

Believe the hype. These are great and efficient ways to cook for the family if you don't want to heat up the whole oven. Kmart has a great range that cost from $60 - $150 depending on size.

You don't need many functions. My classic is a Kmart one, but get it big if you're feeding more than four people. Always go bigger.

Price - $60-$150 depending on size

Kmart Pie Maker

These are the greatest gifts. They are fun, super versatile and once you have one, you'll never look back. They used to make four at a time, now they do six and you can cook so much more than just pies in them.

Price - $40
