OXO is the best. They have consistently high quality materials. I love buying their kitchen stuff. Just got some fridge organizers from them and they're amazing. |
It's true, they do make good kitchen tools. Even if I have a peeler or can opener or whatever, chances are an OXO version will work a little better. |
Ooh, strongly disagree. I hate how much space they take up! Maybe in a suburban house with a half-acre kitchen, but in my itty-bitty city house, I can't have one spatula taking up the space of four normal implements. |
Try these - they are the best... "Crafted from high-density pine leaf sustainable material and made in the USA, this fiber-wood cutting board" goes in the dishwasher. https://www.amazon.com/Elihome-Composite-Dishwasher-Eco-Friendly-Non-Porous/dp/B08R56YHLP/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=BGG85K9Z2BUM&keywords=elihome%2Bcutting%2Bboard&qid=1702425303&sprefix=Elih%2Caps%2C77&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1 |
You are an outlier - everyone I give stuff from Home Goods or Ross absolutely loves and cherishes it. |
A portable/runs on car lighter (or wherever they call that now) tire inflater. Perfect to top off tires whenever needed without having to find an air pump at a gas station and can do bike tires too.
A Pinch Provision kit- has actually come in handy multiple times. Cute enough to feel like a treat while still being practical. |
I’m left handed and can only use oxo peelers. They’re awesome. |
you are probably one of those people who has good luck and good eye - my mom and one of my friends are like this, very good at finding the really good finds as discount stores that are good quality and one of a kind, not the discounted le crueset/all clad pans but quality serve ware, soft beautiful cushions, just really nice one off things. Some people just get overwhelmed and cant really 'thrift'. |
I hate all of these ideas. My parents or MIL have given us most of them and we have returned or donated their bomba socks, first aid kits, decorative crap, bidets and a lot of other suggestions I see here. We are adults. We have first aid kits. We will NEVER use a bidet. I don’t want those overpriced socks.
Know the person you are buying for. A practical gift I’d use is a case of toilet paper, method cleaning spray, tooth paste… something consumable that the family goes through a lot. Please don’t clutter my house with stuff you think I need. |
I was feeling like such a high-maintenance B for the past couple days, thinking wow, all these ideas really suck. With the exception of just a couple things, there was absolutely nothing on this thread I'd love. I'd appreciate the thought, but the gift would just be clutter and likely go on our buy nothing page by next Christmas. |
#TeamScott1000 Saw me through the pandemic. |
+1000 Please!! Just don’t. |
You’ll never use a bidet? Gross. How do you properly clean yourself? Dry tissue doesn’t clean it all!!!! |
The preserve ones are better because they’re recycled. |
Speaking of cheese knives, has anyone ever bought/used a butter spreader with the little holes (Williams Sonoma has one). Looks cute but wonder if it's useful and also I hate to say many people nowadays buy tubs of whatever is not actually butter... |
