If you’re shopping for someone who loves to spend time in the kitchen, you seriously can’t go wrong with gifting them cookware. While shopping for pots and pans is a personal (and expensive) endeavor, decorative cookware pieces are the exception. After all, people usually buy practical items for themselves, so now you get the cool job of presenting something a little more fun come holiday time. 

This petite artichoke cocotte from Staub is a perfect example. The seasonal cocotte has a small, 16-ounce capacity to accommodate dips, jams, and nuts. Its fun design may appear purely ornamental, but this pick can be used to bake delicious appetizers in the oven for up to 572 degrees Fahrenheit. And it’s 43% off, bringing the price down to just $20.

Bakeware is a real crowd-pleaser for those with a sweet tooth. This festive Nordic Ware cakelet pan will definitely gear up your loved one for the holidays. The pan is designed with four different nutcracker molds and has a nonstick coating, so the figures will stay intact throughout the cooling and removal process. 

One neat gift you probably haven’t seen is this clever on-the-go lunch box from Crockpot. OK, so it’s not an actual tin lunch box, but it’s even better — this 20-ounce contraption can warm up soups and stews just about anywhere there’s an outlet and comes in six stylish colors, including this blush pink one for $30. 

Anyone who loves having guests over during the holidays will appreciate this beautiful La Jolie Muse candle. The soy wax candle has notes of fir and cedarwood, making the space smell like the holidays. And in lieu of a traditional cotton wick, this candle has a wooden one that looks elegant and even delivers that nostalgic crackling sound, like the one you’d hear around a campfire. Also, have you seen the glass container? The embossed pattern is stunning. Shop it while it’s on sale for $33. 

And because you can’t have a party without tunes, any hostess will love this portable Sony speaker. Originally $60, this now-$38 travel speaker charges via a USB and has a 16-hour playtime, so everyone can enjoy the holiday playlist without gathering around your phone. Since this gift is also waterproof, we’re willing to bet the gift receiver will bring the speaker along on beach days, hiking trips, and backyard hangs when the weather warms up.
