The holidays are right around the corner and are you still stumped for that *perfect* gift for the foodie in your life?  Well, Cooking in Stilettos is here to help.  Some of these gifts are just too cute to pass up (even if it’s for yourself – shhh – don’t worry, I won’t tell).

Check out these adorable Cupcake notecards from Felt & Wire Shop

Sometimes, you want to experiment with other styles of cooking but aren’t sure if your spice cabinet is up to par. You know what Emeril says “that red box of pepper from 1989 – toss it out”.  Well, you might want to check out this “I Like It Spicy” spice kit with all the essential spices for only $18.00 from Out of the Blue Delivered.  This kit contains everything from Sea Salt to Chilis – you can’t go wrong with that.

What about Thai cooking – you can check out their “Let’s Have Thai Tonight” spice kit with such spices as Lemongrass, Kaffir Lime Leaves and more.

What about that person that aspires to be the next Bobby Flay?  I know we’re in this midst of a blizzard up here in Philly but there are people who will grill regardless of the temperature drop.  Well, check out these fabulous “Grill Grates” with two interlocking grates and a GrateTool that set you on the path to becoming the next GrillMaster.  No more charred veggies that fall to the abyss. 

Wine is always a great gift for the holidays, but for that sommelier in training, well why not give a fabulous decanter?  Check out Spiegelau’s Siena decanter that came across this gal’s path.  To quote Rachel Zoe “I. Die.” 

Speaking of the Za Za Zu factor, Lenox has this gorgeous 2 qt. Aspen Ridge Round Covered Baker that has me at hello.  Now, I don’t know about you but a quality baker is something that gets used quite a bit in this gal’s kitchen. 

I know I have a habit of printing out recipes that I’m testing and they run the risk of getting splattered.  This Portochef Recipe Album from Umbra is a perfect idea!

One of the items I could not see my kitchen without is a quality cutting board.  The people over at Michigan Maple Block have a Cutting Essentials Kit that would be wonderful under the tree, complete with a professional grade, solid maple butcher block cutting board; a bottle of Emmet’s Elixir Cutting Board Conditioner and a LamsonSharp 7” Santoku knife with a gorgeous Rosewood handle.  Now tell me that wouldn’t look fabulous in your kitchen?

Now, being a shoe gal, I had to point out that this set of Cinderella Espresso Spoons are a great stocking stuffer for that stiletto lover!

I absolutely cringe when I have a bottle of wine in the fridge that has lost its edge.  The Sharper Image has this Wine Preservation Kit with 4 Stoppers that can make sure that you never have to feel the pain of sipping wine that has been lost to the horrors of shelf life.

Speaking of the Wine Lover, what about a membership to The California Wine Club?  The prices are reasonable (hello – $34.95), there is no yearly commitment and exposure to wines one might not normally come across.   Even has a 100% guarantee. 

Ok, what about a Chef’s Coat to go with one’s stilettos?  Check out this “Fitted Chef’s Coat” that would look great with this gal’s new Elizabeth & James stilettos… Plus – it can be customized… hmmmm.. Think I need to place an order quick!

Finally, a stocking stuffer this gal would love – an adorable “I Like Shopping” tote from reisenthel that fits in a purse.  BRILLIANT!  How many times have you been caught out and about without a reusable shopping bag or, like I often do, remember that they are in the trunk of the car.  (Hate that)  At just $9.50, you can get one (or three… just in case of a “Shoe shopping emergency” ).

Happy Holidays everyone!
