Whether it’s for Christmas, birthdays, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, there always seems to be a reason to search for and buy gifts. While some people might be scared to give kitchen tools or appliances as gifts for fear that they might be too boring and/or not well received by the recipient, the fact is, most home cooks actually enjoy receiving new equipment for their kitchens.
If the person you are buying for doesn’t like to cook, then the following suggestions might not be good gift ideas for them (although you never know, maybe you’ll buy them a new pizza cutter and it will be the beginning of a lifelong hobby in learning how to make the best homemade pizza! ).
However, if there’s someone in your life who likes to cook and/or loves pizza, then we’ve got some great gift ideas for you.
Gifts For The Pizza Lover
Here at Checkered Chef, we’re famous for our Pizza Cutter and there’s very good reason for that! The first of its kind, our pizza cutter is the original and the first one ever available with a protective cover.
We know there are a lot of copies out there now (don’t worry, we take it as a compliment - why wouldn’t you want to copy such a great product?), but the Checkered Chef pizza cutter is the original and the best! Thousands of Amazon reviewers love this pizza cutter and, if you’ve got a pizza lover in your life, this pizza cutter would make an excellent gift.

Don’t just stop at the pizza cutter, your pizza lover might also like a pizza peel to slide those pizzas in and out of the oven easily.
Our pizza peels come in 2 sizes, regular and extra large - choose whichever would suit your pizza lover’s personality best!

Pizza Cutting Board
Premium Pizza Cutter and Board
And we can’t move on from the pizza gifts without mentioning the Extra Large Pizza Cutter. Again, the first of its kind, this pizza cutter is exactly the same as our original pizza cutter but, like the name suggests, it’s extra large.
It reminds us of the classic scene from Crocodile Dundee “That’s not a knife - this is a knife!” Without trying to typecast a product to a specific gender, there’s something about this particular product that just screams “Father’s Day Gift”. So, if your dad (or anyone really) would appreciate a really big pizza cutter for cutting up really big pizzas, this is the one to buy!

Whichever combination of products you choose, rest assured that your pizza loving friend or relative is going to love using them.
Great Gift Ideas For The Home Cook
You probably already know that Checkered Chef is also famous for cooling racks - we’ve got them in a range of sizes, some come with baking trays, some are the cooling racks America’s Test Kitchen recommend, so, it’s fair to say, cooling racks are kind of our thing.
If you happen to know that the home cook in your life needs a new cooling rack then, of course, make a selection from our range, we’ve no doubt they’ll be delighted. But, if they haven’t specifically requested a cooling rack, they’re probably a bit too dull and boring to be given as a gift.
But, don’t worry, we’ve got some other, more interesting kitchen bits and pieces that are sure to delight the home cook in your life.
Our Double Bladed Mezzaluna or “Salad Chopper” is a fun, inexpensive gift idea and probably not something your kitchen already has. Every salad lover will love just how easily this nifty little tool can turn any salad into a chopped salad. Perfect as a stocking stuffer or for the office Christmas party gift exchange, this product is sure to be a hit.
Double Bladed Mezzaluna
Similar, but different, is our Mezzaluna and Cutting Board Set. This mezzaluna is just a single, curved blade and, paired with the board, is great for chopping up herbs, nuts and even chocolate. Again, this product is a bit different and not something you’d find in every kitchen which is what makes it a great gift idea.

If the home cook you are buying for likes things just a little bit fancy, help them to join the “Finer Things Club” by getting them a Tiered Serving Stand. Not just for cupcakes, this white, ceramic stand is also perfect for sandwiches and petit fours and anything else they might like to serve at a fancy afternoon tea!

And finally, currently only available in Australia (sorry everyone else - hopefully these will go out to the rest of the world soon) a Microwave Popcorn Maker. Everyone loves popcorn, right? It’s amazing how quick and easy it is to cook popcorn in this thing!
In just a couple of minutes you’ve got hot, buttered popcorn ready to eat. Perfect for movie nights, these would also make a great gift for younger people or as part of a Christmas gift exchange game - everyone will want one of these in the Yankee Swap!
